But but but but....
Cruises are the greatest thing since individual sliced, wrapped, and processed american cheese according to many on here.
LOL!!!
Have you ever been on one? I'm guessing not, based on your comment. I've only been on 3 so far, and loved every minute of them. Holland America is about 3x as good as Carnival, for anyone interested. The food is to die for, and the clientele of HAL ships is far more mature and less "party" than Carnival. I've taken all sorts of vacations during my life, and a cruise is far in a way the most relaxing. There isn't even a distant second. They also aren't outrageously priced. By the time you factor in 3 meals a day, gas, hotels, entertainment, etc., a decent cruise can be one of the least expensive ways to take a vacation. When I retire from my current career, I plan on starting a second career on a HAL ship. I guess that probably shows how much I enjoyed cruises. But never listen to the opinion of folks who have actually gone on them, you may learn something.  BY and large, folks who have been on cruises will tell you they loved it, and folks who have never been will say they are awful. You should ponder that for a second. I've been on two and they both sucked. Maybe the third time would be a charm, but I'm not betting on it.

Those who hate cruises have either never been on one and just read the horror stories on the internet or went on one 3-5 Caribbean party cruise.
On my Baltic cruise, I saw Copenhagen, Berlin, Tallinn, St Petersburg, Helsinki and Stockholm, all while staying in the same "hotel room". I didn't have to worry about flights, transfers, renting a car, finding a convenient hotel or where the good restaurants were.

I bet I could find people who'd think a guided elk hunt sucked, or that a week in a Canadian fishing camp sucked.
So, hearing people say that cruises suck means exactly nothing. Except to the sour killjoy who says it.

i've said it before on here, pre-corona virus, that i would never, ever set foot on one of those germ incubators. this just drives my point home. the thought of being in that close of proximity to that many people makes me wretch.

Would you go to a sports event, a car race, or a concert? A movie, a supermarket, a plane?
Are the 14 million people a year who take a cruise and "catch" nothing more than a sunburn and a few extra pounds not evidence to you?

I bet a lot of people here are virgins because "they heard" it was smelly and hairy and wet and they went "phew!"
