I have friends that LOVE cruising, and can't understand why I have no interest in going with. They, to a one, insist that if I would just "try" it, I would be hooked as well.

No thanks. I would rather stay my butt at home than be trapped in one of those human habitrails. Then again, I have never been one for any kind of organized tourist excursion. I would rather visit a place I have never been & see it as it really is -- not the homogenized, Disney-fied tourist version.
