I've never been on a cruise, but that molten lava cake sounds worth it all! Besides, you've saved up calories for this. I say go for it (maybe I'm the devil on your shoulder?). Who wants to go on a cruise and eat carrots?
Hope you have an awesome time, Denise!
Thanks, Di! It's so hard to turn it down when it's already paid for. But do I really want to pay twice? Hmmm.
We just went on a cruise. I was so happy when I got home and had not gained weight. We took the stairs EVERY time. They also had a gym on board that we went to on the days we were at sea. I had desert everyday. ENJOY!!!
OMG, I laughed out loud at this statement, "It's not free," I say, "It cost 1000 calories and the receipt is the extra baggage on my thighs."
It's soooooo true.
But have an awesome time anyway! You can calorie count when you get back. Be safe in your travels.
Ok, here's some "food for thought." You are paying for that dessert, so you might as well enjoy it.
Burn it off by never taking the elevator while on the cruise. The "stairs only" rule truly does wonders! :) Walk as much as you can.
Life is too short. Eat the dessert.
(BTW, I just got back from a 10-day cruise and didn't gain any weight and sometimes had 2 or 3desserts a day!)
You will love Alaska. I think that was one of our most memorable cruises to date. Lovely. ENJOY!
LOL - It's really a crime how gorgeous they make them. But here's a trick, Denise. If you break them first, it causes caloric leakage.
Well, it does. It's a well known fact among chronic dieters.
Besides, on an Alaskan cruise, you don't have to worry about wearing bathing suits, just parkas. :D
Denise,
I don't know if I would argue with these ladies or not. They sound like they know what they're talking about!
"Calorie leakage" plus the stairs seems like a pretty safe combo. :-)
Have a great time!!

Will you be on the cruise ship the whole time or get off for a land or rail tour? My son is a tour director in Alaska!
Chocolate molten lava cake is worth it, just make some laps around the ship.
Eat dessert, then run around the ship a few times. You don't have to eat it all, but surely, you can taste it, right?
Life is about so much more than being skinny, enjoy yourself.
