Have you ever been on a cruise? 🛳️

I'd love go take an alaskan cruise before it melts away. There's something about being in a floating petri dish that lets me be fine with not going.

I'm not really a ship person but my friend told me how she once went on a cruise from Russia to the Baltics and it seems interesting. Idk about other places but living in Greece I think taking a cruise here wouldn't be worth it, the true experience is staying on the islands and truly explore and taste the food there etc rather than booking an overpriced cruise that will give you more of an international and more gentrified feeling. I've also seen Danube cruises, it makes me feel the same, with a bus or train you can explore these cities a lot better and pay much less. I guess for a cruise the place matters less, it's more of a way to have a luxurious experience, which isn't for me.

I've been on one cruise, aside from just a day one on the Rhine when I was a kid. It wasn't terrible or anything, and I'm glad to have been able visit those islands.

I do think certain cruises would be really great, depending upon where and of course...the company.

I have - I don't think I'd want to go on a mega ship - too many people onboard - even in spite of covid.

I'd look for a medium size ship and look for deals - used to be if you could drop everything and take a last minute trip they'd give you a lower price.

Mostly European river cruises, definitely recommend! Also one small ship (just 50 passengers) cruise in the Adriatic, along the Dalmatian coast. These trips also included large land components. Awesome.

Personally I love them.. But it depends on what you like. Modern ships are a resort that floats and a hotel that moves for you, so you dont have to pack and unpack or make the plane to the next city. They also offer you a taste of various places. A recommend a balcony cabin. Personally I just love watching the sea from my own space.. Do a little research to choose the shipping line that works for you. The Disney crowd is different to the Virgin crowd.😷

The cruise along Greece and Italy was breath taking . And the excursions on shore were fun .

We loved our Alaska cruise.

Yes, and Not really. I used a cruise ship as a hotel, during a 2-week SCUBA diving trip. They sailed through quite a few islands, and rather than hassle with hotels, moving equipment, etc. I was disembarking for the day, diving and enjoying myself on the island, then heading back to the ship to eat/sleep.

Otherwise, I can't really imagine myself tied to the ship's social calendar.

No, never been a fan.

1) Those things are astronomical pollutants (they emit in a day as many pollutants as 1,000,000 cars - yes you've read it right, one million), for the entirety of the travel you'll be exposed to air quality that could compete with that of Beijing at its worst.

2) The experience is akin to that of a rat in a cage, especially if the sea is agitated. Having a window in your "room", that is like is considered a luxury.

3) They're sailing petri dishes, forget about COVID if a single person happens to have norovirus or something nasty like that you have >90% chances of spending your entire "vacation" with nausea and you know what other discharge, trapped on a boat, praying the sea will be calm

Been on several… some parts are fun, some boring/relaxing depending on how you think about it.

All depends what you are looking for

Several, 3 to Bahamas, 1 to Alaska

Yes, the food, service... Spectacular! Everything inclusive... Stay on the boat or tour the ports .... Wonderful and you won't regret

No but my son wants to cruise to Antarctica 😆

I crossed the Atlantic on an Ocean liner, which wasn’t a cruise, but although I had an amazing time, being seasick put me off sea travel.

Yes.... River cruises and shoreline (versus island-hopping) cruises are the absolute best way to meet people, learn about cultures and to enjoy the scenery along the way. We did learn a lesson last spring though.... PICK YOUR SEASON by checking with an agent.... a lowest price is not necessarily the best deal. We went down the Rhine river and up the Mosel river and the spring weather was very wet and cold - almost freezing!! But, all other aspects of the cruise were wonderful.

Inter island ferries in the Philippines are usually interesting. But on a big ship? I had my fill in the Navy.

I went on a European river cruise

It was great

I also went in a small boat cruise in Alaska
Also great

Yes ..it wasn't a great experience for me ..but everyone is different

Not yet. I would like to do a few river cruises.

The most recent time only involved cruise control 🚗

I dont like the idea of being stuck on a boat..

Never have, and I don't think I would.

I havent yet ,but I will do one day. If you got the chance just go for it.

I hear the ends of the spectrum it's either Fkn amazing or the worst experience of all times

Not a cruise.
But a boat ride that last 3 hours round trip.

Never. I don't like crowds of weird ass strangers. Being stuck in the middle of the ocean on a boat with them? No thanks.

Also the idea of swimming in pool that's floating on the ocean just seems kinda asinine and bougie.
