Cruising is not for everyone to be sure.

What I suggest to people who have never been but have any curiosity about it at all is to book a 3 dayer.....that way if they hate it they’re back off the boat pretty quick.

Having said that, I used to work with a whole lot of retired Navy guys. Many of ‘em said they’d never get on a cruise ship because of their experiences on ships in the Navy......until my retired Navy Chief supervisors’ daughter decided to get married during a 7 day cruise.

He had to go and he was dreading it. I just laughed because I was pretty sure I knew what was gonna happen....sure enough when he got back to work he told me he and his wife were already planning their next cruise trip.

As far as prison goes.....I have been in many state prison facilities over the last 5 or so years serving in my church’s prison ministry.

When people ask me what that’s like I always say the same thing......”it’s not what you think it is”......and that goes for cruising as well.

Have a blessed day gentlemen.

Same to you, and prison ministry is awesome. Got to do it a few times at our local county jail, anywhere from 15-30 guys in a mod.

They say the world is really divided between two types of people: Those that can live in with a HOA and those who can’t!!! Same with cruises.
