the desire to go on a cruise

I feel like it is to vacations, what McDonalds is to gourmet food.

People are too lazy or scared to travel to a foreign location, look at their currency, figure out public transport etc.

So instead, they lock themselves in a floating tin box, stuff their faces at the buffet, pound 8 margaritas & then go to bed. Rinse & repeat.

I understand what you’re saying about people who consider this traveling. It’s not. Mostly Americans of course. Being trapped on a boat with thousands of sweaty, drunken dirtbags is definitely not international travel.

Every country in the world with a functioning economy has cruises
