#14  Written by a commie who wants cruise ships banned. Think of all the fuel to get there and to cruise.

#13  Sounds like the author expected to have a personal boat ride on someone's yacht.

Yes, this is a genre of clickbait "content." "I did (ate, bought, went to) X and I'd never do it again."

#12  We found the best cruise value for us is cruising and area we had not been to- First the Med, then the Baltics and then Greek Isles and decide if we would ever like to come back to a port city for a more extended stay. Returned to Italy and the South of France a couple times now and found the Balkins to be "see it once and check the box" ports of call.
I find cruises to the Carribean and Mexico to be pointless and repetitive.

#11  My wife and I are currently on a cruise from LA to Hawaii. So far we've really enjoyed ourselves. Yes, there are a lot of people - the ship can carry 3000+ passengers. But if you adjust to that, it's not bad.

#10  The wife and I discovered we like cruising. A different port everyday and no unpacking your suitcase every day. We rarely eat in the buffet and rather enjoy being waited on in the dining room, where the food is good and the service is better.

#9  My wife and I went on a cruise to celebrate the 30th anniversary. It was just like being in Grand Central Station, only on water. We haven't been on one since.

#8  Her formal gown covers her tats, so I'll go easy on someone experiencing the real world for the first time.

Boats are in motion. Even large ones.
Night breezes off of water are chilly.

#4  Cruises are good if you consider Golden Corral to be an enjoyable dining experience.

#3  Does the phrase "World's Largest Cruise Ship" mean anything? How about loaded with people when operating?
This is like going to a hotel, and being surprised that there are other people about.

#1  Just like Navy recruiters.
