Why do people go on these cruises? They seem like stomach virus tin cans. What is fun about it? Maybe during the summer but during virus season, all you hear about is how deathly sick they all were.
Normally I would never go on a 'cruise'. Did once. On the Nile in Egypt. Four days from Aswan to Luxor. Stops along the way to view Egyptian antiquities. One day I came down with 'Tut's Tummy'. Either from fresh salad or ice in drinks. Quickly resolved itself and I was good as gold again.
Would I not do that again? Of course, what an experience! And the next four days in Cairo, including the sphinx and pyramids, Egyptian Museum, and Saladin's Citadel.
But other cruses? I have no desire to cruise the Med etc.
