I've had Maureen McGovern's "The Morning After" in my playlist for decades now. Also had a number of cruises.

Never a bad experience on a cruise. Staff was always super-friendly and the food and drink was always plentiful. Cabin a a bit cramped but only really went there to sleep and get caught up on work emails and Internet stuff. Plus they always magically re-filled my fruit bowls and such when I was gone with little squares of dark chocolate on the pillows.

Now at the end of the cruise, the staff would always be sure to say goodbye to us as we left with their hands out for tips - and we would tip generously as they really did a great job for us.

One of my favorite moments was when I heard McGovern’s “We may never love like this again” while on an elevator going up a skyscraper. I never knew muzak could be topical.

Been on one cruise many decades ago. It was a blast. Looking forward to one once I get vaccinated.
