re: Why does the OT think Cruises are Trashy?

We knew nothing about cruises, so we went in with no predetermined idea of what it would be like. We took a shorter cruise because we weren't certain we'd enjoy being stuck on a boat. We came to realize that choice was just doubling down on terrible. The shorter trips are redneck booze cruises (at least out of NOLA). It was comical. The wife and I got the most entertainment out of looking at the photos they put out each day. Grown adults taking prom-like pictures. Lady with the kittens in a basket t-shirt that wasn't wearing it ironically. And the "dress-up" night . I definitely saw a man in a 1970's big collar brown suit and a wolf howling at the moon tie. And this guy was not old enough to have owned this suit in the 70s. Also do not feel it was ironic. Saw parents tucking the tags into their kids suit so the can return them after the cruise, etc. And this was a total shock because we didn't even know there was a "fancy" night. This was Carnival and I hear they are the worst, so I won't say that all are bad. We just didn't know and probably picked the worst one. It makes it difficult to want to go on another one. It sound's petty, but people really did act like trashy animals. Loud, obnoxious, drunk, fat (FAAATTTT), redneck, and terrible were words I said regularly on the boat.

That looks so fcking awesome. My friends are doing a 7 night trip on one of those in January out of BVI. I'm pretty damn jealous.

Most of the food on a cruise isn't buffet style. I've been on several and never eaten at a buffet.

The cheap ones are like floating walmarts. It's true. That's what most people see. Why pay all that money to be trapped on a boat with so many people when you can fly to a destination in a few hours and enjoy the whole week there instead. Cruises only take you to the tourist trap ports and you miss out on the real places you should see.

Example: cruises take you to Montego Bay which is a shithole. Instead you could go to Negril and enjoy every minute.

Disney cruises are awesome.

I think we are going to try a Norwegian one for Mardi Gras.

I would do Disney again but I hate flying and I am not driving from br to Miami.

Why does the ot think they are trashy? Bc you see them advertised at 275/person for 5 days all the time.

Those are the shitty rooms though.

I hate little boats. I'm ok on the big ones.
My favorite part is not cooking or cleaning. And drinking all day.

Fwiw the three year old would love a Disney cruise.

I hate land Disney. Sea Disney is awesome.

I have never been on a trashy cruise so I don't know if I hate them or not.

This one is going to be expensive so hopefully i don't have to mix with the poors.

I never felt crowded on the boat. They do an amazing job with keeping everyone separated and moving on schedules.

I hate crowds too. Can't stand waiting and don't like people breathing on me.
