Congrats on achieving your aim of 100 countries Bob.

We are also not cruisers. We have been on 4 cruises...to the Bahamas in 1992, Alaska Inside Passage in 2008, Repositioning cruise from Honolulu to Sydney in 2012 where we enjoyed our time with you, and now the Caribbean cruise. The main thing that the Norwegian Sky had to offer was visits to 14 island countries in 14 days...al very difficult to do by air or land.
