The trip was a total disaster. The only two men that were the least offensive were coupled with other females who tittered and giggled with every word that was said to to them. All of the rest were too something or another..... too self absorbed, too old, too ugly, too handsome for his own good. Sure a crew member would flirt with her but she knew that was just part of their job. Everyone was to be partnered by some one.<br/><br/>Anne walked over to the railing to look out for some dolphins. There a few a long ways out and swimming away from the cruise ship. With a heavy sigh, she began to wonder who would ask to be partnered for the evening's masquerade dinner party. In fact she should go find something to wear. The cruise line provided many different activities and had many costumes and dresses that can be borrowed for all of the evening entertainments. She headed to the lower rooms to find a costume.
