[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that Grand Cayman is easy.

Cruises are the easiest. You literally don’t need to worry about dinner reservations, activities, etc. [/quote]

But they are also super trashy. [/quote]

Sigh.

No, cruises are not super trashy.

Go price out a spring break cruise on Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, etc. leaving from Florida and you’ll see how expensive it is. Hint: not cheap to fly to FL, stay in a local hotel, then cruise for a week…plus excursions.

I was a reluctant cruiser who quickly discovered how relaxing a cruise is. Sitting on a lounge chair in a quiet area while the kids go do other activities is bliss. Not having to worry about getting dinner reservations in touristy cities or islands is Heaven. Hitting 3 or 4 Caribbean islands and taking a cab to a quiet beach is awesome.

There’s nothing trashy about it.

Plus: I love the live music. Royal Caribbean has different kinds of live music all over their ships day and night. It’s fun. [/quote]

I see the loads of obese people those ships disgorge. It’s disgusting. Plan your own trips and make your own experiences. Cruising is the Applebee’s of travel, and a true race to the bottom (not to mention an environmental nightmare). [/quote]

There are overweight people everywhere…including first class seats on planes and fancy hotels.

When I cruise, I see people running on the track and exercising in the gym. I see lots of fit families.

Go on a Virgin cruise and it’s all hardbodies and frou frou vegan health food.

Honestly, the one sweeping generalization that aptly describes cruisers is this: they are people who like to have fun and don’t judge others. There’s a real friendliness among cruisers. [/quote]

You will not convince me that vacationing with thousands of other people, having the same experiences, and feeding from the same trough is anything other than the epitome of low class trash. [/quote]
This is nuts.  Cruises come at all sorts of price points and will all different levels of service, including some with truly fabulous restaurants.  Is it really different to stay at the Ritz and eat at the hotel restaurant just because it's on land?  There are cruises at the same price point and with the same level of service.

Vacationing most places is done with thousands of people who all end up doing the same things and eating at restaurants near their vacation destination.   Welcome to the travel industry.[/quote]
