Before we go on our long cruise, we better find out if we can even stay in that small cabin without ruining our friendship. We book a short cruise to Iceland with the same cruise company and same size ship & cabin.
About 6 months before the cruise, the volcano in Iceland starts erupting- no spewing lava but lava flows. I don’t want to take a chance and cancel our Iceland cruise and other Iceland travel arrangements.
Closer to the actual cruise date, the outside thermal spa we planned to visit now has boiling water and the town we planned to stay in has been evacuated. It would have been cool to see the lava flow but so glad we cancelled the Iceland cruise/trip but we still need a test cruise.
Alaska here we come. Short cruise to Alaska verifies we can travel in a small cabin and remain friends. Sure hope that same success is had during the Long Cruise.
