I get being on vacation, tooling around the Caribbean but I have absolutely zero interest of being stuck on that thing, with all those people even during the best of times. It might be more of a social vs. introvert issue for me.
I'll be honest, my parents LOVE cruising and took me and my fam on a Carnival 3-day cruise to nowhere (LOL, sounds as bad as it was!) with them, and all I wanted to do was get off the ship. It was like a floating all-you-can-eat buffet with sub-par entertainment and patrons the likes of who you might find on the "people of walmart" blogs. Sorry if this sounds really judgy, I just dont understand the appeal of cruising.
Well that's because Carnival just sucks. I've been on Disney, Carnival, and multiple Royal, and much prefer Royal.
Been on Carnival and Disney. Carnival is like the Golden Corral of cruising. Many people, much food, much diarrhea. Disney was fantastic but I was a kid so..idk. It might be fun to take a nicer cruise but I’m thinking smaller is better. I remember the Disney one rocked like crazy, had a blast.
I still remember the weird mustard smell in the Carnival cabin head.
Not judgy at all...I'm with you there on all points. I took one Caribbean cruise a bunch of years ago (It was a 4 or 5 day voyage), had bad weather over half the time, which meant the ports of call on those days were canceled due to the inability of shuttle boats to get us all to land (no docks large enough to accommodate ship) and so everyone was stuck on board all day. Not much to do except eat. And this wasn't one of those bottom of the barrel discount lines, either. The whole experience of getting off at the same place I got on was immensely disappointing, much like an overhyped theme park ride. I'm intrigued by the idea of a transatlantic voyage with a European tour on the other end, but I think I'm done with overcrowded journeys from point A to point A.
I would love to take the Rhine cruise if Europe ever uncucks itself. I have also hear the St Lawrence Seaway cruise is awesome but no way I'm going near Canadian soil. The Alaska cruise would be awesome.
Cruises sound like everything I hate about airplanes but with 100x more people for 20x longer, and on the ocean.
I was thinking the same. Or on a riverboat on the Mississippi.
Two words...roto virus. Or..is it one word. Anyway, ugh.
So why don’t they require a roto virus vaccine? It’s apparently devastating for them. But there’s no vaccine and no requirement.
Cruise ships have always given me the creeps. People going missing.
Yes, and there's no accountability for illegal shit because they're on the ocean.
