[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re cruises - they are super easy and relaxing. Nothing to research and no need to plan anything. Unpack once, and have an opportunity to visit a number of places...or not...you can choose to lay on a deck chair read, drink, and nap in the sun. No need to carry a wallet since everything is already paid for. Can't decide between the lobster or steak? Order both...at no extra cost. Feel like watching the evening show? Simply show up...or not...your choice.

We were very anti cruise until we actually took one. Now we can appreciate the appeal. I have a colleague who books last minute cruises a couple times a year to "nap." He ends up doing much more than that, but that's his premise...to get away and not have to worry about anything. [/quote]

But everything is NOT paid for on a lot of cruises.  Often just your food is included, and booze and soda are extra.  Excursions are extra.  Everything everything is EXTRA.  But the price looks great up front!  So cheap!  Awesome!  And then the nickel and dime game starts.  Perhaps I went on a low-brow cruise (Celebrity) but I was really turned off.[/quote]

[b]We cruise with disney[/b], and sodas and room service are included. You don't have to do excursions. We do some, but not at every stop (we can manage on our own). My friend who cruises to relax doesn't do any excursions. He walks off the boat, hires a driver and hangs with locals at a beach bar. It's all about expectations and what your idea of fun is.

This made me laugh for some reason.[/quote]
