Cruisin’ for a Bluesin’ 2010 Was a Blast!

It was so nice to be able to keep my own schedule…I could sleep when I wanted to, lounge and spend time with new friends, and eat any time I was hungry (and the food WAS delicious)! I also enjoyed blues and lindy bombing different parts of the ship! With all of the live music and DJ’ed areas, if you’re not dancing, it’s your own fault!

I had so much fun! Not only did I get great dances, but it was amazing to be able to live with everyone on the cruise and actually get to know them other than on the dance floor.

Only a weekend THIS amazing made the 3 days of vertigo worth it.  I don’t want that to dissuade anyone from going, but that’s honestly how I feel…I was semi-sea sick for the whole weekend but I left still feeling that it was totally worth it.

A dance cruise is much like a highly condensed Exchange – the main difference is you have more of a say in who you get to sleep next to, the food is free and always available, and you don’t have to worry about waking up on a different schedule than your hosts. Have you ever accidentally woken up hours before anyone else in the house and could only sit there waiting? Yeah, it’s awkward.

If there is a better dance weekend anywhere, it would probably have to break the laws of time and space. C4aB already stretches a few of those in the name of awesomeness.

What a blast.  I think I upped my fabulous-dance quotient by %100.  These were the calibur of dances I’ve been missing in my local scene.   I am re-inspired to travel and meet new folks with like minds.  All thanks to one boat headed to Ensenada.

I thought that the (harmonica) workshop was incredible.  Gary was funny, charming and able to get all those who partook of the lesson to play through a handful of songs.  I am inspired to try the harmonica even if I’ll never play for anyone but myself.

I loved that there were people for me to dance with on a CRUISE SHIP.  I’ve always wanted to go on a cruise, but the fact that there wouldn’t be anybody to dance with was definitely a detractor.  Problem: SOLVED.

So many amazing dancers in our own little world for 3 days with every single person on vacation mode including the people who barely left home – you don’t get that at any other event.  It really is special, there is a definite difference even to us out of towners when not even the hosts have any housework or work-work or anything menial to take care of at home during the event.
