Obviously many enjoy it but I just shudder at the thought of being imprisoned with a bunch of Wal Mart type shoppers.

These are the kinds of people I imagine would be the big demographic to go on trips like these. The gorgers that stuff that shrimp at the 24hour buffet till their gullets explode and their pants bust with their sinful gluttony and complain about government food stamps helping out a poor family.

If I wanted to travel I sure wouldn't want to be with the same kinds of people that I have to endure right here where I am.
