Thursday’s essay is called, “Seeking a Sanctuary: On the Grand Princess.” This was our 9th cruise, and we completed it in 2009. In this essay we share some information about where, on a cruise, you can find a place of solace and isolation — a place where you can go to be by yourself, meditate, contemplate, and even write. Some people have said they don’t like cruising because of the crowds, because you can’t get away from people, or because they are claustrophobic. This essay will help establish that that does not have to be true.

Share your link. Have you written anything about cruising? How about anything about finding a sanctuary on a large ship? Are you a person who has cruised, and you have some ideas and suggestions to share? How important is finding isolation or solitude on a cruise? How about the importance of finding a place (besides your room) where you can write? Can you share some insights about the aspects of cruising you like? What would you like to tell people about the experiences you have had when cruising? Share your link with us. We’ll post it and move traffic in your direction. And, a big “thank you,” in advance, from AndThenSomeWorks.com, for sharing your link.

Thursday's And Then Some Essay preview:
Seeking a Sanctuary: On the Grand Princess
by Richard L. Weaver II

Excerpt:


Skywalker’s Nightclub, with the exception of the smokestacks about two-thirds of the way back on the ship, is the highest location. During the two weeks of sailing, few people discovered it during the daylight hours (they preferred the pool areas at the center of the ship). The nightclub, however, tended to fill up around 4:30 through 5 p.m. when we were leaving a port for the view was outstanding. I watched as we left Granada, for example, and not only did the Nightclub provide a remarkable view of the port area and island terrain. Ominous rain clouds embraced the center portion of the island, and the setting sun cast enchanting rainbows over Fort Frederick just above the dock from where our ship departed. The departure was truly stunning — a scene I couldn’t wait to capture in words!
