I had the same fears about kayaking. Will the boat sink? will I be able to get out of it? will they things to fit me??? I have had friends my size (6' 330 pounds) go on cruises and love them. You can adapt and overcome. Focus on fun with your family, make sure you walk the decks and swim and dance daily! eat your salads and fresh fruits first, add your protein and stop. Choose ONE desert to try, or limit yourself to a taste of several since you are with family. Just use a teaspoon to 'steal' a bite and put it on your plate.

You KNOW what to do, you have lost 35 pounds!!! Have confidence in yourself and your choices. You will just need to be more creative while in the cruise mode, and plan ahead a bit. Fun is ACTIVE! I am just learning this myself! Take advantage of trying activities you can't do at home. Enjoy!!! :)
