In reply to the discussion: I really really don't want to go on a cruise....what am I missing??? [View all]Kali
(55,008 posts)25. doesn't really appeal to me for most of the same reasons others gave
and I doubt I would spend the money to travel that way even if I had a lot of it. Having said that, if somebody invited me and paid my way I would go and I would find a way to enjoy it. Loafing around and eating good food, seeing the ports etc sound OK, and I am sure I would have fun.
I made a personal vow a long time ago - any chance to travel that comes my way must be met with real effort to go. Even a crowded, over-scheduled 14 day 20 city of Europe thing would be better than not having that experience. Again not that I would ever choose and pay for something like that but to say no if it were offered? not me, I can be packed in an hour or two - let's go.

Have to agree. We've cruised more than 150,000 nautical miles with HAL including three

I don't see the appeal of flying somewhere just to lie on the beach for a few days.

You have to enjoy food, shopping, casinos, spas, and live shows. It's a floating resort.
