Chapter 194: Cruising to Victoria: Words

Cruising to Victoria

Elderly American lady: cruising. I just love cruising. I enjoy sitting, eating and having the waiter look after me. It is my fourth cruise. I have not done any shore excursions.

Another American lady: The gala night is my highlight. Getting dressed up. But it was not what it used to be. People even wore casual clothes.

Another American lady: We haven’t done any excursions. When we get to port we wander the shops selling curios. My husband wants to go on a different line next time. Says this line is just for seniors. No night life. I tell him we are seniors.

An Aussie cruiser: The staff get $350 a month. They don’t see their kids for 8 months. I want to makes sure they get the tip.
