Just be kind to yourself and cut yourself a break. There is a finite amount of food you can consume and if you go overboard (no pun intended, lol) you can get back to normal when you get home. Give yourself a chance to relax and enjoy! Good luck!! Just be kind to yourself and cut yourself a break.

From the article on CNN's travel section today... "Carnival Cruise Lines, owned by Carnival Corp., now has lighter dishes with nutritional stats on menus for hawk-eyed calorie counters." "Menus on Carnival cruises list the caloric information for "spa" dishes including: roasted banana panna cotta in citrus broth (150 calories), charred broccoli and cauliflower tortellini (190 calories) or red snapper over stewed fruits (290 calories)." http://www.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/02/21/cruise.dining.ap/index.html Go with the idea of spending a little time "reporting" back to the FatBloggers just what healthy options were available. Stuff like this can get more of us willing to go on a cruise as they continue to cater more to health conscious travellers. You may have some hope! From the article on CNN’s travel section today…

I went on a cruise about 10 years ago. About the best thing I can say is try to avoid the all-night AYCE pizza bar. On another note, this is a great chance for you and the wife to get out and have a lot of fun. You can do that while enjoying the food, without going overboard (pun partially intended). Moderation isn't something they encourage on these cruises, but I think you can have the best of both worlds while you're away. And hey, the diet will always be here when you get back ashore. Have an awesome time. Yeah, not a good time to be on a diet. I went on a cruise about 10 years ago. About the best thing I can say is try to avoid the all-night AYCE pizza bar.
