I'm Back - Never Again!

[AngliaGT]

I was forced into going on a sea cruise that was a part of our Son's wedding.
He got remarried.("I'll go to the next one" is not an acceptable remark,by the way).
We were on the Norwegian Cruise Line ship "Encore",on of the largest.LOTS
of people,& lots of noise.I thought that a lot of the people aboard were very rude,
as many would walk right in front of me,without so much as an "Excuse Me",which
was even worse when I had my hands full,& I sometimes had an almost full cup of
coffee in one hand.There was also a lot of loud noise,in including music,so I avoided
the musical activities.
I did, however, see a really nice Turquoise Taunus 12M,which turned out to
be a part of a tour company that uses classic cars.I also saw a lot of vehicles that we
don't get here,mainly vans & pickups.

Would not be for me either.
Think it's a love hate thing

Yea, I wouldn't either. The idea of doing a special occasion or holiday with 1000s of others in what's really a confined space isn't my idea of fun.

The only ocean cruises I've been on only had ~100 people. It was noisy, smelly, and the view, except for one person, was terrible. Food was decent for the first few days, but after that, no fresh food.

I’m guessing it had no lounge chairs or portholes.

When I think of cruises I recall my brother’s stories of being butted around for days in impatient, often rude, crowds of people with arm loads of food, drinks and luggage. I also find myself recalling my neighbor’s stories of going on singles cruises to exotic places with her girlfriend, only looking for great food, late night drinks and ocean views—of course.

Sartre said something about "other people" ...

Your cruise ship awaits, sir!

Forced to be with others - and no way out?
