TODAY’S WORRY
I want to finish up my comments about taking a cruise.
Reasons for going on a cruise –
You want to go someplace remote like Alaska or the Greek islands that you can’t get to otherwise.
You want someone else to organize your trip for you. You don’t want to be involved in the nitty gritty of planning.
You like the fact that the hotel room goes with you. There’s no unpacking and repacking.
You want to be able to eat often and a lot.
You want a whole bunch of your friends to vacation with you.
You are gregarious.
Reasons for not going on a cruise –
It is really expensive. There are a lot of extras over and above the quoted price.
You don’t want to vacation with so many other people.
You like the ability to go off the beaten path, have a more intimate experience with the place you are visiting.
You like the idea of something happening spontaneously.
You are interested in fine cuisine.
You find that planning a trip is almost as much fun as taking it.
That all being said, we had a really good time. The staff on the boat was excellent. I also think your experience depends on which cruise line you book with. Some cruises have a smaller number of people on them, some emphasize the cuisine, and others have celebrities. A lot of people think that cruising is the best way to vacation. It really all depends on your own personality and expectations.
