Why do you cruise?
Anka wrote:
Just wondering... What is your #1 reason for cruising, as opposed to land touring? ~Anka Well I look at it this way. Many of my relatives do all-inclusives and their 7 day trip looks like this: Day One Travel to resort Day Two 1. Get up early to hold beach chair with towel 2. Eat Breakfast 3. Lay on beach/swim/snorkel 4. Drink 5. Eat Lunch 6. Lay on beach/swim/snorkel 7. Drink 8. Eat Dinner 9. Drink a lot! 10. Go to bed Day three, four, five, six Repeat Day one Day Seven Return home Now compare that with a 7 day cruise, with 4 different stops (5 if you include the port of embarkation) and its a no-brainer. Cruise may be a little more money but its like driving a Lexus versus a Kia in my books.

Why do you cruise?
Anka,
Good question. For my wife Deborah and myself, once we experienced our first cruise in 1986, we easily knew that answer. A cruise will cost about the same as a comparable land-based vacation - but when your add everything up (accommodations, flight, transfers, food, entertainment, shows, plus a relaxing voyage to some of the most exotic ports in the world), with a cruise, you get so much more. Plus, for the most part, you unpack and pack only once.

Why do you cruise?
From our viewpoint as "experienced vacationers" and "fairly
newbie cruisers"... If you compare a cruise vacation with a non-cruise vacation, dollar-for-dollar, menu-for-menu, event-for-event, and add some sort of stress and de-stress factor (what's a vacation for?), the result to us is perfectly clear. A balcony room on a middle-market (Princess, HAL, etc.) cruise ship vacation, wisely selected, is a substantially more cost-effective way to spend money. Other than the obvious constant change of venue and the atmosphere of romance and adventure, to us the biggest differences a room size - but who "lives" in that room? gambling loss - house advantage on ships is incredible safety - ships are safer than streets of many vacation cities food - you'll never eat better than on a cruise - period! people - we make friends on a cruise, but in a hotel? convenience - our advantage is that we can cruise from home, and our son drives us to the dock. WOW! Ike

Having a land vacation is not my idea of a vacation,not when you add up
all the hotel taxes,the cost of food,and any entertainmentyou might want, a cruise is a much better value. cruise lover
