Snake Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I've been on three, and the worst thing I can say about them as a whole was it rained one day. Going again in January, and have one booked in 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usedtoskidoo Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 same. been on 5 cruises now. Great times and good food. Alcohol that you can actually recognize the label and beer that isn't dealcholised piss. But we done with them. now. Seen every port except obscure ones. Hilarious really that people compare the north sea to the carribean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't taken off from Texas yet, but I'm trying to stay away from Mexico for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've traveled all over the world using all methods. Car, train, motorhome, guided, self guided, etc. We love cruise ships but we also love the other ways to see the world. Variety is the spice of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many other Caribbean incidents so to think cruise ship incidents only happen away from the Caribbean seas is hilarious. The truth is they happen all over the world in any waters cruise ships go. I am glad you enjoy them. Like I said, they just aren't for me.

Anler Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 To each his own. I am not afraid of cruises or boats I just don't see the attraction. I am more of a destination person. I like to explore and soak in the local cultures of the places I visit. I just don't like the idea of being stuck on a boat. We have friends who love it so whatever "floats your boat" I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always go within a month or so of Christmas, so I just want to relax. It's the wife's busy season also, and we are wiped. Relaxation is the number one consideration. Cook for me, clean my room, make me a drink and entertain me. Plop me on a beach for the day on a small island and let me relax and just unwind. We honestly could care less about the rest of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing resorts with all of the amenities, pristine beaches, amazing food, amazing staff, amazing views, relaxation to the max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 The only cruise I’m interested in, is a Alaska cruise. I don’t like being on a schedule while on vacation. Cruise ships have way to many people on them. I can go down the street and get good food and drink. Most of the ports they pull into are tour bus tourists traps. I could see doing a 3 day one? It’s kinda like going to Vegas, after 2 days of it, I would be bored with it. I live out side of a big city, so I don’t need to get on a plane to go to clubs, see shows, see sporting events, eat at over priced restaurants ect. I go on vacation to get away from all of that. I can see the draw for people that don’t have that stuff around them. It’s funny to see on every Friday, the traffic going in and out of Chicago. People that live there are trying to get the fuck out for the weekend and a traffic jam of people trying to get into the city ,to spend the weekend there.

Snake Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I really don't see all the 'too many people' thing. I can go to the Windjammer and get anywhere from 5 or 6 different types of food, day or night or go to a 3 -4 course dinner, without waiting in a line. The one time I felt cramped and uncomfortable is when they have the safety drill where everyone is out of the rooms at the same time. We always book a suite, so the lines on and off the boat are rarely a line. At cruise line owned resorts you get a segregated beach. No, I would never again book a balcony room or lower. And I hate to admit I simply loved Momma Mia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 50 crew. The Danube, Main and Rhine rivers. Some of the most incredible sights I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
