Don't even get me started on having to carry a soda card to get a drink (which took forever because you couldn't poor your own like you can at any common fast food place) AND the drink (REAL drink) prices!!!! I actually watched the bartenders make them and measure HALF shots, which effectively made them 15-18 bucks a piece had they been real drinks.

I LOVE crusing. Of course up till now our cruising has been transatlantic crossings and a Pacific crossing with no ports of call except for one on one of the TA crossings where we stopped in France before crossing the English Channel to Dover.
This coming May we head out for our longest vacation ever, three weeks. Part of it is a 15 night Transatlantic cruise from Miami to Rome stopping along the way at the Canary Islands off Africa then the island of Mallorca, Barcelona Spain, Nice France, Florence Italy, and final ending in Rome where we will spend four nights before flying home. On this trip I will experience the shore excursions a lot.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
