[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think being anti cruise is snobbery. There is simply a lot not to like about them.

1. Excursions are frustrating if you like the destination. It’s a short period of time, you don’t learn your way around, no real chance to wander or be spontaneous, and you have the must get back by X time hanging over your head.

2. You are stuck with cruise food. [b]One of the fun things about travel is the food from sitting in a cafe, to grabbing street food, to finding a restaurant with a view to finding a small restaurant etc. [/b]

3. Norovirus, listeria, and other viruses are a thing.

4. Safety- these boats are registered in countries with lower taxes and different laws. If something goes wrong you are screwed.

5. They can be crowded and the entertainment is often meh.[/quote]

I absolutely love to travel, but this is the #1 worst part of travel for me. I hate thinking about what to eat, I hate finding a place to eat, service is often poor. I wish more than anything else that I could just hand out "food pills" to my family instead of having to eat. It drives dh crazy too. We're not picky eaters, but I think we just don't enjoy food the way others do. [/quote]
