And Clay….in case you wonder who I am…we were on two NCL cruises that you were on. I think you organized the cruise critic meet and greet on one of the cruises. We have never done a river cruise, either. They do seem expensive, but I know people love them!!

I think one of them was Rome to Venice– back to back–Venice to Venice in 2013…. We did the Baltics in 2014 but I don’t think that was the other one. Maybe Canada/ New England– we have been twice.
