Cruising is the best when you're trying to reach destinations that are hard to easily travel too (e.g. its easier to fly in to Miami than fly to St. Kitts). The only issue is people who cruise are the lowest level of travelers. You wouldn't see a morbidly obese person on a scooter flying somewhere, but they'll do cruises.
I'm cruising in January, idgaf.
Idk about best, but they're a decent alternative to planning everything yourself. I've been on 3, 2 RC and one MSC, had a great time on all.
Everyone should do it once.
Cruises cannot travel overland.
If you want to travel the seas, how does being a cruise passenger beat having your own boat and cruising wherever you fricking please?
you don't have to take care of the boat.
Pay someone to do the grunt work then, you lazy homosexual.
I would like to do one in the east med, look for deals from time to time but not seen any tempting enough to bite yet
Cruises aren't my cup of tea, but I recognize their benefits. They make a great containment area for greenhorn traveling boomers. And if you're into old/mature pussy, they must be a fricking gold mine.
>And if you're into old/mature pussy, they must be a fricking gold mine.
That was true 30+ years ago, most people who cruise now are younger singles and families with some exceptions like cruises to Alaska, extremely expensive cruises, and European river cruises
And all the cruises I've been on in the last 15 years or so, those younger singles are mostly males. Often with their parents. And they desperately try to have sex with any woman that doesn't have a guy next to them. Even on a fricking Disney cruise, I get up to go to the bathroom and come back and there is some 20 year old flirting with my wife almost every time. And she's aware but tries to make conversation and then I come back and they leave. It's hilarious. Happens on every cruise and I see it happening to others, and I've yet to see it even work. This is not a good way to get pussy. Maybe if they find somebody their own age who is single and with friends but most of the time there are more men than women and the single women are usually with their parents unless it's a group of young people like I said
What are the best cruises for banging milfs and cougars?
There are swinger cruises but... it's over 50s.
everything about boomers is repellent
floating hotel full of hyper obese boomers raving about the unlimited onboard slop they can ingest
itineraries can be really good, especially if they're going somewhere difficult / impossible to access via plane, so there might be some trips I'd do
but the other passengers insist upon being themselves and they're goddamn awful. ever watched someone so grotesquely fat that their five chins were overflowing a mobility scooter, like a muffin overtops its case, start screaming their head off about discrimination because they can't reverse and go down the other aisle because of the queue, and have to go around instead?
Please don't go on cruise, you aren't RT-material with these views
this tbh.
landwhales make an otherwise probably alright means of travel to niche/exotic locations that are difficult to drive/fly to reachable.
but the landwhales ruin just about every aspect. god forbid one of these fricks has a heart attack and fricks up an itinerary that was the sole reason you were on the cruise in the first place (this has happened to me)
I was doing my first cruise ship visit recently and the first thing that came out was a half-dead old Murrican frick on a stretcher and 4 paramedics
Cruises are fine as long as you don't go for the low tier cruises filled with Black folk and white trash hillbillies.
The same goes for the cheap cruises in the Mediterranean where all the scum of europe meets up to pretend they are rich or something.
Besides that it's a chill way to just relax and i prefer it to an all-inclusive resort. Just don't expect to learn anything and don't go for the cultural aspect if you wish to get off the boats and visit.
nu uh
I think it depends on the line. Norwegian has the best, Italy the worst, USA/Carnival lines the second worst.
Carnival is a scummy shit corporation in general.
The ship industry is constantly teetering on bankuptcy despite the extreme cost to cruise from sightseeing place to place.
I'm about to get a cruise in October from Hawaii to Sidney, 17 nights. Then in December I'll take one from Sidney to all them French Polinesia islands.
My first cruise was last year (I'm 32). From the first time I got hooked up and now I'm kind of addicted to it. I literally cant live without having a cruise booked.
I've done NCL twice, really liked their service and food, MSC once (terrible line through and through, never again) but now I've decided to stick to Royal Caribbean because they have the best cost-benefit: not too expensive and not too shitty either, and with somehow good itineraries.
is there internet on the sea?
Satellite internet is available. $$$. Laggy and slow connections as you have to make a round trip through motherfricking space but fine for shitposting and email
The best way to travel is to have plenty of money (even if you want to slum/rough it), and airline/hotel status. Sometimes a girlfriend and/or group of cool friends. Local fixers/friends in country are nice too.
More seriously I like the idea of cruising but I haven't been able to try a ton of lines or some of the higher end offerings to get away from the very obnoxious booze cruisers. If you're paying enough to have a longer more interesting itinerary and some decent amenities/common spaces on board then I see more appeal. Maybe that's where all the other single adults in their 20s are. I'll happily trade a lotta the bullshit on board for ports of call I'd actually like to see and explore.
I was on an MSC Seaside Caribbean cruise very recently and wasn't impressed, the quality of the food in the main dining room being a big downer. Only one of the main dishes for any seating tasted like it had much flavor to it (mahi-mahi), while one of the paid upgrades was a decent cut of meat that had some seasoning. Anything in the buffets dropped the bar lower. Tried the premium Asian place upstairs and they had pretty good Sushi and some other items. The number of bars on the ship was ridiculous but I guess that's why people are there. I liked one of the quieter ones off to the side. Most of them didn't have ingredients for the specialty drinks, anything better than bottom shelf liquor really. When they did most of the bartenders could make them right at least.
The elevators use a system common to newer high rises where instead of placing a hall call you select which floor you're going to. Unfortunely there's no cabin load/weight bypass and the system likes to shunt dozens of groups of people across multiple floors to the same elevator. Total clusterfrick, faster to take 15 flights of stairs. The layout isn't terrible, onboard amenities were just ok. Jungle pool/slides when not jam packed were alright.
The big issue for me was the lack of any quieter spaces on board to just relax. Outside there was almost always music blasting or an echo chamber inside. Got an automatic upgrade to a balcony room but in retrospect I should have paid extra to upgrade to an interior Yacht club cabin. I don't suspect the food would have been that much better but there were more private spaces. Ocean Cay, their still under development private island was a real highlight. Decent snorkeling and beach lounging, got way more than I was expecting out of the Waverunner rental. Great little coffee stand, god help you if you try to get lunch on the island though. Their stupid dance party thing was stupid, big surprise.
Overall pretty just ehh experience.
if you view MSC as just a transportation method to get to ocean cay, it's pretty nice. ocean cay is our favorite of the cruise line private islands. the food is meh-tier, which just means i won't gain weight on the cruise. the gym is unironically the best i've seen at sea, simply because it has an actual squat rack instead of a smith machine.
the demographic mix isn't as nice as it is on a more expensive line, but it is what it is. carnival is worse.
damn imagine if that monster sank
they're great if you fall into the latter two categories. nothing wrong with that, though the environmental cost is high.
If I did a cruise, I'd like it to be to go to places I couldn't otherwise go to. I.e. Hurtigruten cruises.
Did a Nile Cruise before, which was pretty cool. Great stopping off at temples along the way and just watching the desert pass you by as you chill up on the deck. Cheap as frick, too.
I went on a cruise with an acquaintance of mine last year and he dressed in a double breasted blazer and “captain’s hat” half the time we were on the ship. It was turbo cringe and I wanted to just fight him
>dressed in a double breasted blazer and “captain’s hat”
Amazing idea. Noted.
Sounds like a cool guy.
Anon, I work in a travel agency, and we all know that cruis ships are oversized petri dishes.
Conversely, since there are so many old folks on board there is almost a death on every trip.
Please, do yourself a favour and don't do a cruise.
>Anon, I work in a travel agency
Sure you do
The trick, as with all travel, is to be rich. Nice cruises are nice. Get a suite and you eat in a separate restaurant, lounge on a different deck, and never see poor people. It's patrician but you gotta have a little money.
It was, it's got progressively shitter every year since the late 80's. If you want a real quality cruise now, you've got to go on some expedition type deal for 20k.
I'm on a holland America cruise for a week along the California coast. what should I expect?
Imagine staying in a single hotel for a month, if the hotel is shit you can't leave, everything costs five times as much as normal, there may or may not be anyone you want to hang out with aboard.
Went on one for the first time in years because I got it for free. Seeing multiple different locations with no hassle was awesome, as was not needing to plan for breakfast and dinner. However, being on someone else's timeframe sucked. Turns out several places we stopped were having Carnival celebrations, but we couldn't see any of them because the ship always left before sunset. I'm glad I took the trip, but I don't plan on traveling this way again any time soon. I can see why old people like it though.
