….I Want to Go on a Cruise
1. Going on a cruise now looks like a lot of fun - a stark contrast to the previous perception that cruising was for retirees that wanted to play bridge and shuffleboard. I mean, you can now even go rockclimbing on a cruise. How cool is that? Check out this video from Royal Caribbean, and then tell me that cruising has changed for the better.
2. Unless you’re taking a cruise to Alaska or the Antarctic, cruises usually happen in places where there is warm weather. At this time of year in the arctic-like Northern hemisphere, that sounds like a really good idea. Think of it, the warm ocean breezes flow by as you stroll on the Lido deck with a drink that comes with an umbrella and a maraschino cherry in it.
3. Food - and lots of it. If variety is the spice of life, then it’s probably pretty spicy on a cruise given the number of dining choices. And the nice thing is that many boats come with well-equiped good gyms, which means you can work off all those calories that you’re taking in….or, if you’re into relaxing and gorging, maybe not.
4. There’s lots of things to keep children busy, which allows parents to relax and have fun without worrying about whether their offspring are getting into trouble. Better yet, your children will probably have a better time doing all those activities than when they’re with you so it’s a win-win proposition.
5. You can visit a number of ports of call along the way to experience some local culture as opposed to spending all of your time on the big boat, which could be sailing anywhere given how busy you’ll be eating, drinking, etc. Of course, you can always just stay on the boat if the idea of spending a few hours on-shore to visit overly-expensive tourist traps isn’t your idea of fun.
