But I eventually need to unwind and take time for myself, a ship like this lets me do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"488\" data-id=\"1218\" src=\"https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/inside-1024x488.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1218\" style=\"width:472px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/inside-1024x488.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/inside-300x143.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/inside-768x366.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/inside.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"440\" data-id=\"1214\" src=\"https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/outside.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1214\" style=\"width:417px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/outside.webp 780w, https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/outside-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/outside-768x433.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not as wild as I used to be, in some ways I enjoy the peace and tranquility of being on a cruise ship. I find it hard to be myself&#8230; it is very hard for me not to be intensively private. Being myself means letting my guard down and being vulnerable and as much as I want to do that &#8211; need to do that, I find people to be very judgmental and if that happens, I cease all communication with them. It&#8217;s not about being hurt, if someone mouths off to me, the truth is &#8211; I have to watch myself aka my response to that, I&#8217;m a Christian &#8211; I want to be like Jesus and forgive people, I don&#8217;t want to say or do anything that I would regret (or perhaps not regret.. just kidding \ud83d\ude42 ) and we need to be bigger people than that, so I&#8217;d rather de-escalate. There is a very few select people that I truly feel comfortable being around &#8211; just like the cruise ship, I want to surround myself with mature, thoughtful, intelligent people and have meaningful discourse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a cruise ship &#8211; I don&#8217;t know anyone, and we are all there just to relax. I love reading and listening to audiobooks, I&#8217;ve loved reading my whole life, and for the most part it doesn&#8217;t matter what I read &#8211; as long as it isn&#8217;t evil crap or boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the library on the Celebrity Solstice cruise ship.. check it out!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Library.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Library.jpg 773w, https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Library-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blumenort.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Library-768x433.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;ve been on an Alaskan cruise or similar type of cruise,<\/strong> <strong>I&#8217;d love to hear about it and know what your experience was like!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Jason<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In just over a month, we are going on the Celebrity Solstice Hubbard Glacier Cruise!
