[quote=Anonymous]I like that they’re a pretty easy trip to plan if you’re not a huge “planner.” Book the cruise itself, the transportation to the port, and that’s 90% of the planning right there. The on-board stuff and port excursions are really simple if you go through the cruise line, which I always do because I don’t want to plan my own port excursions because I’m so not a planner.

Most of the cruise lines are increasingly moving away from the big assigned table/assigned time dining. I’ve always been able to get a table for 2 or 4 or whatever I needed. It’s better if you can go at your reserved time but if you can’t make it there are other options than the main dining room. I’ve never got norovirus on my 5 cruises so far, knock on wood, but did get a nasty respiratory virus toward the end of one cruise, but I don’t think that’s so unusual for vacations/travel.

The ships are very nice and the staff members are all great. What I didn’t like is that they can be pretty aggressive with trying to upsell you stuff. Like going anywhere the staff and bar/restaurant workers will try to get you to buy drinks. It gets annoying. I haven’t been since Covid so not sure what this is like now. The pools are very crowded on at-sea days. But Other than the pools being jam packed, and the stuff that’s open when you first board and everyone is milling around before their rooms are ready, the cruises I’ve been on didn’t feel too crowded. Once everything is open and people can be in their rooms there’s plenty of room on board to spread out. [/quote]
