We are a well off family who takes luxury vacations and often find some of our favorites have been cruises.

Please stop saying you are frequent travelers because you go on cruises. That’s like saying you’re athletic because you play mini golf.

We are frequent travelers AND enjoy cruises. We are also decent at reading comprehension. My statements were not mutually exclusive. Cruises are one type of vacation our family enjoys, they are far from the only vacations we take. This year we have traveled 3 times already for 1 week or more, including this trip which has been a wonderful 2-week adventure seeings tons of history and beautiful sites. For one family member with mobility issues and also having several young children in tow a cruise is an easy way to travel. We aren’t planning another cruise this year but in the past have enjoyed several European cruises as well as the Caribbean. We probably take 1 cruise for every dozen vacations we take, and we tend to travel in a significant way (meaning at least 1 week) 3-5 times per year.

Cruise is relaxing. Too relaxing. Meaning, I find alot of free time doing nothing.

The best part is no cooking or cleaning up after each meal.

Cruises are what you make of them, same as other types of vacations.

Go on an inexpensive short cruise to the Carribean which attracts low-budget young partiers and you'll have an experience you may not find relaxing. On a longer cruise on a premium line which attracts older, wealthy, and well-travelled passengers, the experience will be vastly different. And, even then, how you choose to spend your time aboard and ashore will impact the degree to which you find yourself more, or less, relaxed.

Wealthy cruisers do not equal classy travelers.

Yeah, because Norovirus discriminates and you will never risk exposure at airports, airline lounges, restaurants, coffee shops…etc.

…or hotels.

We went on a Disney Alaska cruise when DS was 5.
I loved everything about it. I love water and there was relaxing if I wanted to doing fun things, suited for everyone.

Not PP but my DH has MS and very limited mobility, and cruises are really the only way for me to have a true vacation with him.

Classy is hanging out on DCUM and calling people “trash” and judging people based on their travel preferences. Got it.

Maybe we just need to ask Jeff to create a new forum for Cruising, and then you can discuss whatever you want outside the Travel forum. Would that work?

You know you would frequent a Cruising section. Even though it’s obvious you don’t like cruises, which BTW, is perfectly fine, you couldn’t help yourself. You thrive on name calling and trolling. It’s kind of weird, especially for an adult, but if it makes you feel better about yourself….

Cruises are gross. They pollute the environment and ruin communities. Your ardent defense of cruising is the only weird thing here.

You have a bizarre bias, pp. And you are just so wrong.

I want to take you on a cruise and show you just how off base your bias is.

But before we pack our bags, please tell me what a “classy” traveler is and what distinguishes their travel?
