Oh be still my heart...<i>Tell me why I'm wrong</i> <br /><br />Oh be still my heart. Is the door really open for this? <br /><br />With shoe hatred flapping its tongue and piling on the back of a bitch about terrible tables, horrible music, irritating voices, and depressing views, it's hard to tell from the pitch and roll which ball goes in which pocket. <br /><br />Some Seppo did a good job of presenting the current positives. During the 80's, when I worked as a travel agent, cruise vacations were known to deliver the highest level of customer satisfaction, offering clients opportunities to experience the adventure of travel from a place of provision with time and space available for relaxation and activities on an individual or group basis.MamaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00300520132972757396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-53985422151485039352019-09-07T10:26:29.900-04:002019-09-07T10:26:29.900-04:00Eh, nobody's going to convince you to take a c...Eh, nobody's going to convince you to take a cruise if you're that closed minded about it. My wife and I love cruising at this time in our lives because we're so busy that the planning hassle is minimal. <br /><br />No selecting locations to visit and places to stay once the cruise is selected.<br />No schlepping luggage from hotel to hotel, packing and unpacking, then searching for and consuming food instead of enjoying the new location.<br />No riding public transport between locations.<br />No airport security theater between locations.<br />No Internet unless we seek it out.<br /><br />IOW, I don't have to spend 40 hours planning a trip that will be far from just relaxing. Once we retire we'll be doing less cruising since we won't need recharging and relaxing.<br /><br />The above video was taken on a Royal Caribbean Radiance Class ship. It's small in regards to modern ships, being 15-20 year old class of ships. But 2500 passengers and 900 crew is hardly tiny. They are nice, comfortable ships with plenty to do without all of the modern ameneties: water slides, roller coasters, ice rinks, surf simulators, zip lines, etc.<br /><br />I've played pool on those tables. They aren't perfect but they are unique at sea.Some Seppohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265697887333204955noreply@blogger.com
