We went on one many summers ago to Alaska. It was a lot of fun the first few days and the convenience did make checking items off our travel list easier, but the convenience also made it boring.
At the time I declared I'd rather luxuriate independently, but I remain emotionally drawn to the perceived convenience of a cruise/resort.
I mean did anyone see what happened with the Ultimate World Cruise lmao?!?! People's marriages ended, fights and family feuds erupted, I mean it's not like how people will spend their years in retirement bouncing from ship to ship and excursion to excursion. This is just teaming with a nightmare.
i could see it being really cool to have a selection of destinations to catch up to your floating home-away-from-home cabin on a boat... but i like to party a lot.
doing it with a crowd of bummed out election losers doesn't seem awesome
I'm fascinated to sea things for I've never been close to any seashore. But 4 years away from the home you lived all your life is the zenith of stupidity.
I’ve never been on a cruise before, but I have worked on the ocean. I wouldn’t take a one-year cruise, let alone a four-year cruise on the ocean unless there were lots and lots of time ashore on the agenda!
I guess you could say that this is the measure of their TDS and total derangement. To think, we trusted THESE people with the franchise! Maybe we were just as loopy as they are.
Are you talking mental sickness on these cruises or real, physical sickness? I did not know that there is a lot of illness aboard the cruise ships while at sea. Are you sure that they are not just seasick?
I meant physical sickness. Perhaps my experience was anecdotal or dependent on location. There were a lot of food borne illnesses going around a few years ago, but maybe that is better now.
I only heard about the problems with COVID aboard the ships. I did not hear about other problems that you might not expect aboard a cruise ship populated by oldsters.
I guess there are plenty of heart attacks and such while at sea.
I also love standing on the cabin's balcony in the evening / night, feeling the breeze and hearing the ocean's waves slam against the ship...
That, and slowly feeling the cold, dark nothingness sip into your soul while you imagine the horrors of going overboard right there, right then, only to vanish into the dark... Amazing!
I need a vacation (and I do like the ocean a lot ... which I currently see none of) but not a vacation that's that long.
After a week on a cruise I'm itching to get off.

I saw the radical left winning all my life. Nobody offered me a lifelong cruise trip...
This sounds horrible.

There is so much sickness on a cruise, I would be hesitant or at least very cautious with doing that being older.

Not even the navy spends 4 years at sea?
I find cruises to be pretty dope!

Why it's sounds bad
I wonder how many times you hear Jimmy Buffet's 'Wasting another Margarita Burger in Paradise' in four years? 🤔
I can't imagine myself living a week at sea, let alone permanently
Thank you for your excellent recommendation. I hope to be able to include it in my travel agenda next year when I am getting married.
