Almost one year out (Lap Band patient), 95 lb loss, going on a cruise

Hi all! I had lapband surgery on 9/8/09 and am happy to say that I've lost 95 pounds to this point. I'm going to celebrate my 1 year anniversary by cruising to Bermuda (I'll be in Bermuda on my anniversary). I've been following my doc's and nut's orders pretty diligently and have to attribute my success to them but I'm a little worried about the cruise and all of the temptations it will present. The LAST thing I want to do is gain any weight but I'm worried that I'll more than likely eat more than I should (and do currently). I've been pretty strict on myself and have been keeping within my portion sizes, however, once and a (LONG) while, we'll go out to dinner and I know I've eaten too much, however, those occasions are very few and far between and haven't resulted in gaining anything back. I go to the gym regularly and like to think i'm doing everything I'm supposed to be, however, I am a little concerned about going on the cruise. Has anyone found themselves in this position where you find yourself putting yourself in "harms way"... Any feedback/suggestions you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I'm not planning to go all out and eat everything in sight, but I'm thinking I'm not going to completely deprive myself and will allow myself to have a couple of treats, but i just don't want to get out of control... Thank you.
