In 1983, cruising felt uncomplicated. You showed up, unpacked once, and let the days unfold - great meals, swimming, sunning, the occasional excursion. There were fewer rules, fewer formalities, and far fewer decisions to be made. I was younger, the ships were smaller, and the world seemed wide open. I couldn’t have imagined how much both travel - and I would change, or how much the world around us would too.
