This was my 32nd or 33rd cruise. I came back stronger and more healthy from every one of them. Because I get to walk minimum 12,000 steps/day, the ocean air is the freshest on earth, the food is extremely healthy and nutritious if you choose wisely, and I don’t waste time cooking, cleaning and shopping for food. And you are surrounded by 2000-6000 happy people in good mood. I can not find that environment anywhere in any town.
To each his own. I’ve seen commercial kitchens and many aren’t clean enough to feed my dog. Nix on the sneeze guards and community serving spoons. No, I don’t want germy hands touching and nibbling off my plate. I’ll do my own cooking so I know it’s safe or at least only contaminated with my germs. Shopping and bringing the food home, I know for certain it’s been washed well.
I can sit right here at my desk with an open window and smell the clean outdoors and watch the ducks and geese swim by. There’s all kinds of fresh fish just feet from the back door. Fresher than that frozen stuff on a cruise.
I’d be diving off the back end of the ship if I had to deal with 6000 people non-stop 24/7. Give me peace in the country any day.
