Mid-Life Crisis-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Everyone loves going on vacation. Just taking a break from life and getting away. My parents every year go on at least two cruises a year. It was something they started a few years ago, I guess that is when they hit their mid-life crisis stage! Every time they came back from one and just hearing about it, made me want to go more and more. So last October, I booked one. Little did I know, what I was in for?
Before I booked my cruise, even though I was going with my parents and a bunch of their friends. I didn’t want to go by myself. So finally, I found a friend to come with. This was a friend that I only talked to if I seen her out in public. It was hard finding someone that was willing to spend quite a bit of money, and miss school for a week.

Talk about the most obnoxious drunk I ever met! The first few days, I tried my very best. I was still nice to her and we went everywhere on the ship together. After a while even the alcohol was not working for me anymore. She was still annoying, worse than my little sister. Between us, my parents, and their friends, there was twenty-three of us in our group. Thank goodness for that because after about midway through the cruise I could not take it anymore. I started getting slick and would ditch her and go do my own thing or hang out with new friends that I met on the ship. The atmosphere was amazing, I completely forgot about all my worries and what was stressing me back home. I even turned my phone off for the whole seven days because it was a fortune to text or call on international waters.
Towards the end, the last few days, I think she finally got the hint that I did not want to spend every waking moment with her on our cruise, she also met a few girls on the ship, and she got a long with. Spent the last few days with them and I also did the same. There was about five thousand people on the ship, it was a fully booked cruise. So it was not hard to meet people and have fun especially when alcohol was involved.
Next time I will know what I am in for. Even though, I had a few difficulties, I still had an unforgettable time. I do recommend everyone to go on a cruise and experience it for themselves. This is something I will never forget, but for sure next time I go on a cruise, I will chose wisely the company I

    Single cruises are becoming extremely popular because they are a great way to get away from it all, and to meet new people, and they cater to many interests, and, and....
