It was the first cruise I&#8217;d ever been on, and thus, it was the worst (and best) cruise of my life. The sunsets were beautiful, the lox &amp; bagels delicious (my first since leaving the US), and the ship rocked at a frequency of 1/10 hz for only one night (the frequency most prone to causing seasickness). The week was so fabulous, I almost stopped pining for internet access.<br /> <span id="more-677"></span></p>
