I completely understand the appeal of it, and on paper, I'd be right there with you. But, in practice, I personally hate the whole experience; it's just not for me. I'm more of a road trip guy which kind of limits me to North and South American continents, lol, since I also hate cruises. If I can't open the window, I'm not going 😆
Cruises aren't for everyone! Have never been on a cruise ship but I know someone who went to the UK via ship and she got mad seasickness from it because the Atlantic ocean can be a bit angry sometimes. What's the longest roadtrip you've ever done?
Probably from US east coast to Oklahoma (not my choice of destination lol). Missouri seemed like it would never end and was the absolute worst leg of the whole trip. There's a huge sense of progress when you cross state lines, and Missouri is just so wide, so flat, so....nothing that it made the whole trip stagnate.
I did an Alaska cruise with my mom. I was so nervous about it - thought i would feel trapped and bored and shuffled about like cattle. It was actually a great way to travel with her - being older and struggling a bit with memory changes. Was really just a floating hotel, so we could visit different cities each day without unpacking and she was able to learn her way around the ship a little, find the room, remember the restaurant options, etc. We went to the show on the first night and we both found it pretty offensive, so we spent most evenings at a jazz bar/karaoke bar. I think it would be fun with a group - i saw a lot of big groups sitting around chatting and playing games together at night.
