I went on a family reunion cruise last year with the other side of a shared line. The family holds reunions every two years and did a cruise last year. They said that they usually have about 100+ people show up for the on land reunion. I think there were about 30 folks on the cruise and some of them were just friends of the family. I think they were struggling to get enough people to sign up for the cruise.

I had a great time getting to know the other side of my cousins family but having always done winter cruises prior to this, I'm sure that I would never do another summer cruise. We went to Key West and the Bahamas. It was so hot that both my mother and I were just miserable after only a few minutes off the ship.
