I did two carnival cruises when I was much younger and didn’t have kids.

I have told my wife. I will travel almost anywhere you want, but a cruise is completely out of the question. Unless it’s one of those high end yachts where it’s me and 10 other people, no chance.

A cruise ship full of thousands of other disgusting people sharing very close quarters for a week? No thanks. I’d rather vacation in Lake Charles for a week

A cruise is one thing that I have never experience, nor do I care if I ever experience it. Maybe to Alaska or something, but a Caribbean Cruise just does not appeal to me, at all

Depends on the cruise line and the demographic.

Viking is being booked months out.

Small ship adventure cruises are awesome in every way, too bad people think all cruises are the same.

Imagine paying money just to set sail on a ship to the middle of the ocean for a couple of days and come back. One of the dumbest vacation ideas ever created.

No chance. You can have a nice peaceful time on most cruises if you pick the right time and price point. My wife and I love cruising because it’s relaxing. Our other vacations are more-so “trips” which is usually to national parks.

Celebrity Cruises. The Retreat Class suites. Never encounter riff-raff or trouble.

Every industry is the same story.

CEO: "Our profits are down. How do we sell more cruises/TVs/cars/etc?"

Employee: "We could make everything more affordable by making them total pieces of shite."

Bonus points if whatever you make completely disintegrates within 5 years

Never in a million years thought I'd enjoy a cruise. Went on one begrudgingly. I loved it.

Chill as hell. People were great and not what I was expecting. Good times.

I wouldn’t recommend going on Virgin unless you like Trans dudes being your Host.That ship sucks! The best part was getting off at ports and playing around in Miami, before and after the cruise. Never again for me.

Not all cruises are equal.
