Cruising with Celebrity and Costco Travel. I faced my fear of the ocean and came out alive, plus I actually enjoyed myself.
Since coming deathly close to overwhelm in the Pacific at 17 class of age I have been afraid of being out on the sea . Being on a ship has not been given even a second thought . No matter how much my husband tried to sway me it would be fun and relaxing to take a sail I adamantly refuse .
Port of LA
Funny enough , I can board a woodworking plane and pilot over open seas without even a squeamishness . perchance my crazy brain figured if the plane move down over the sea I would be dead before ever touching body of water so what was there to fuss about .

But this year was our twentieth anniversary and my married man begged to observe with a sail . I had ridden in a catamaran last Spring from LA to Catalina , it was a unretentive trip on a balmy day . He figured if I could handle that then I was good to go for a longer prison term on the waters and a sail was a slice of bar now . He was unappeasable . I wrapped my panicked mind around it and count on why not , it was time to get over this unlogical apprehension of the ocean .
We take a Celebrity cruise along the California coast at the good word of friends . They advised us to hold through Costco Travel and I can say that is the only fashion to go . The Costco cash reward back at no extra price to you is wonderful.(I have no affiliation with either Celebrity or Costco Travel )
This little dish carting us to shore is one of the life boats . They were turn up straight beneath the balcony of our elbow room wee for an easier mind . I would have no trouble leaping down into one if there was even a hint of something amiss on the ship , not that anyone would approve of that .
Part of the rationality I acquiesce to this trip-up was I knew would be in port each sidereal day and if I get overwhelmed with mindless panic I could and would fascinate a flight home at any one check . Thankfully , that never happened and I made it through . I was stick and determined to make it a fun stumble and so I did with the help of cracking champion and the wonderful crowd of the Celebrity Infinity .
Celebrity Infinity . comic matter , as I was call for this exposure one of the fellow passenger comment that he could separate the first prison term cruisers , they always take a photo of the ship . I think he was being sarcastic but I chortle at it anyways .
I am not saying I did not experience here and now of terror . I did have times when I feel campaign from being on water and the trouble feel that emerged from my core had to be rigorously tamped down before scare took over . bass breathes and a firm ego talking too work back unagitated to my overactive mental imagery and I continue with whatever activity I was engaged in at the second .
San Francisco
There is no disputing that the scenery from the ship can be quite stunning . And I was capable to see a pod of dolphin , sea lions , otters and jelly Pisces . Millions and millions of jelly fish . I betray to capture a good photo of them .
Can you see them ? This does not even give you a confidential information of how many there were , it was amazing .
My hubby booked a large sized room in the middle of the ship ( supposedly you finger less movement in that locale ) and made sure it had plenty of way so I could not sense claustrophobic . It was beautiful and the balcony was a comfy place to ride with coffee in the morning .
So I can honestly say now I can handle being on the sea . Would I try out another cruise ? perchance , but there are other thing I would like to try before going again . I think having paint company and/or example on board while between port would be fun and being paid to cruise would be just a incentive .
What fear have you tried to overtake lately ? Or what would you wish to face down ?
