Tall tale #1 - Only senior citizens vacation on a cruise ship. This is so not true!

Tall tale #2 - I'll spend all my time in the bathroom due to seasickness. Being green around the gills is cause for concern and it does occasionally happen.

Tall tale #3 - The only activities are shuffleboard and bingo aboard a cruise ship. Well, those activities are available, but there is so much more. Exercise classes, dancing, lounge acts, skeet shooting, and wine classes are just a few of numerous things you can find on board the ship. How about a crafting or art class? Perhaps a trip to the spa for a comforting massage and facial is more your speed. Maybe you want to relax around the pool with a good book or participate in a card tournament. Of course, you also have the shore excursions to look forward to when the ship goes to port.
