Spoiler alert: “Sometimes illnesses touch the innermost part of our being, helping us to awaken our strongest self, making us understand that life is too short not to enjoy or live to the fullest. For reasons still unknown to my understanding, I have seen that people on cruises—whether in the corridors, at the buffets, dancing in the discos, in the queues, or simply anywhere on board—are more approachable. Everyone tends to forget who they are, where they come from, and what religion they belong to. At the end of the day, they share one main goal: to be as happy as possible for as long as their vacation lasts. I have learned that sometimes our story is written by the course of our destiny.”
