Have you ever been on a cruise?
« on: November 15, 2015, 07:13:19 pm »
I have not been, but I have heard a lot of positive things about taking a cruise. I hope to go one day.
I was told the food  great and entertainment are great.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes....I have been on a cruise and I was treated like royalty.  It was a terrific experience and I'd love to go again if the situation were right.

Personally, if I could go on a cruise with a man that I'm deeply in love with.....

I think I would experience a dream come true.    :heart:
Have a great day!

OMG you will love it!!! I was on a cruise this past summer (June) and it was fabulous! They treat you like royalty and all you can eat food and drink (minus alcohol beverages), and everything is TAX FREE (duty free) on the ships! Love love love it and I plan on going back next year! Hope you decide to go! :)

I've cruised twice.  Both with carnival.  Once with my best friend.  And the other with my ex-husband.  I would do it all over again with my best friend.  We had so much fun on the ship.  My ex and I spent more money on land participating in excursions.  If I could do it again I would...and since I understand the benefits of cruising now I would take hold of the itinerary and customize my land and see adventure to suit me.

I have also heard lots of great things about cruises - that they are a lot of fun and feature great food and fun destinations. But you also hear a lot about mass illnesses happening on cruise ships and that is what keeps me from
going on a cruise altogether.

I've been on a few of them.  Depends on the boat: the last one I was on wasn't that great.

Add me to the list who say "Sign Me Up!"  I went on a cruise 25 years ago as a teenager and it still remains the best vacation I have ever taken -- even better than Disney World which I finally made it to a few years ago for the first time. Disney was special and I would love to go again, but a cruise is so much cheaper in the long run.  It is very similar to a resort vacation with all of the activities and amenities available on cruise ships these days -- they really are huge resort hotels that float on water.  Depending on what ports you visit, you have the luxury of lounging (or being active) at the various spots/rooms on the ship and your next sight-seeing destination "comes to you" so to speak.  You don't have to hop a bus or plane or train and travel all night to get there (at least it doesn't feel like it) -- you just wake up in your stateroom one morning and you are at the next stop!


As for the comment quoted above, I don't have hard data to say exactly, but the occasions of mass illness outbreaks on cruise ships are such a small percentage of the overall numbers, they just get reported out the wazoo when they DO happen because it sells newspapers and gets/keeps the TV viewers attention.  When was the last time you saw a news story about a commercial airplane that departed/arrived on time with no incidents or issues?  When was the last time that you DID NOT hear about a plane that had major and/or catastrophic problems?  Millions of people still fly everyday without incident.

I have been on a few and loved them.  You are treated like a queen, the staff will bend backwards to ensure you have everything you want. The food is outstanding.  Everything is paid except alcohol any gifts you buy and any money you spend gambling. Pick the cruise you want to see the islands or countries you are interested in. You will love it!
