Cruise Question of the Day

TheSkipper · March 11, 2008

WOW, a tough question to answer in a few sentences. We fell in love with cruising 50 cruises ago. And, every once in awhile we take a trip to Europe or go on some other land type vacation and almost always end up saying "We could or should have gone on a cruise!"

We like all the others who have replied like every aspect of cruising. We find it the most relaxing vacation we can take, virtually stress free. :wub:

There are lots of things aboard ship that we don't do, like bingo, the casino, etc. but, they are there should we decide we want to give them a try. Most of all I think we enjoy the people we meet on every cruise. We spent three weeks driving through Europe and I can't recall a single person we "met" during that trip.

With cruising we get "No Surprises." And as others have said it is the best vacation value for the money. :thumbup:

I echo everything that's been said before...... the BEST type of vacation by far - being waited on hand and foot ....... what a pleasure!

Todays question

Would you choose to live on a cruise ship if you got all the ammenities (food entertainment..etc) however the ship never left port?

I would but DH would have an issue since the casino couldn't open in a US port. What's better then being waited on and relaxing in a deck chair?

I don't think I would. I enjoy being gently rocked to sleep at night and I think I would also get very claustraphobic in a small cabin all the time.

TheSkipper · March 12, 2008

Nope, but I would be up for one that keeps on moving around the world. :biggrin:

doesn't anyone think that the security alone is of value?

hazelson · March 12, 2008

I like the idea - I wouldn't even need my seasick patch!

Nope, but I would be up for one that keeps on moving around the world.

Really? Can you afford ResidenSea, which does exactly that? I certainly can't.

As for the question, it would depend on the city and the cost. A ship berthed in NYC, Paris, London, etc. might be fun.

The joke about the new Genesis class of ships is that they'll dock one end in Long Island and the other end in Manhattan, and passengers can commute from one end of the ship to the other.
