Cruises are for the newlywed, the overfed, and the nearly dead. I do not understand the appeal of being on a boat with all those people for that long. Then dock at a mini America to buy shite made in China.

The only one we've ever taken was a 3 day Disney Cruise when our oldest was turning 6. It was very well organized and not overcrowded. My parents used to go on them more often, but it was in places like Tahiti and Hawaii. They would fly halfway around the world to get on a boat. Not my cup of tea, but I can somewhat see why they did it. Sort of like island hopping, except you're just cruising at night while you sleep. After being crammed in a plane for a 10 hour flight, the last thing I would want to do is get on a boat with a tiny cabin.

If the years-past near constant news reports of food poisonings didn't kill off the industry then nothing will.

There are a lot of “normal” people who absolutely love cruises, mostly retirees. I’m baffled by it, but lots of people I know take multiple cruises a year.
Wife's mom and dad are nice people but ask them to pick a restaurant and they are so indecisive that everyone will starve. Can't be ready to go anywhere on time.
I'm personally convinced a pretty significant portion of people that love to take cruises are people that simply cannot plan or make decisions. All they have to do is get on the boat and most other decisions are made for them for 1 to 2 weeks.

I think in long term the cruise industry will hurt once the boomers and retirees die off. A lot of these boomers take 12+ cruises a year and the cruise lines rely on those types. Who’s going to replace them. This generation? Young people are hurting financially these days. I don’t think they’ll be taking multiple cruises a year once they get 60+.
I don’t think all cruise line will be affected such as Carnival, but your higher end ones definitely will.

I have done 4 Viking cruises so far and going on number 5 the end of June, going to the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway. They are awesome.

My girlfriend went on one or maybe a couple in middle/high school with her friend and friends family. She is always hyping them up and wants to go on more.
After learning about the weave pulling and what not I’m now having second thoughts…

You're on to something
I think many people dont have good networks of friends to know where the good vacay spots are. So a cruise is indeed a pre-packaged "solution" to that vacation itch and does accommodate well for people are aren't capable of doing much planning
