“I grow old... I grow old... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?” -“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” by T.S. Eliot
A well-known pastime for retirees is to travel and for many families and retirees, taking a cruise is a popular way to visit different places. There are so many cruise ship experiences that it can be overwhelming to decide which to try. My wife and I returned from a cruise, this time from Los Angeles down the Baja California peninsula to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The port stops were Mazatlán, La Paz, and Cabo San Lucas. There were three reasons for selecting this trip. The package was a great deal: 537 USD per person for an eight-day trip. Second, we’d never been to Mexico and Ellen had heard good things about Cabo San Lucas. Third, her nephew and his wife live just outside Los Angeles. Without doing any further investigation, we jumped on this deal. It was only when we arrived on board that we realized Carnival Cruises is known as the PARTY ship. Yet, somehow, our friends and family were already aware of the reputation. Of course, I don’t consider ourselves as “sticks in the mud” types (after all, I am Estonian), but we did find ourselves a bit out of our element. Basically, Carnival does not offer any education about the destinations, so there is nothing we learned about Mexico, the ship, or marine life.
