My 1st cruise was way back in 1966. It was on the old Italian Line ship, Leonardo Da Vinci. It was our senior class trip in Nursing School. There was 20 of us on the cruise, 2 men and 18 women. I had a great time on that cruise, but it was hard to evaluate if it was just because of the cruise that I had such a good time or due to other reasons (I was single back then). In 1999, Cindy and I were looking to do something nice for our 20th aniversary and we decided to take a cruise. She happened to be on that 1st cruise also, but we were not even dating at the time. We loved our 1999 cruise so much, that we both got hooked on cruising.As they say, the rest is history.
