The re-positioning cruises are great. You don’t get the riff-raff that go on shorter excursions. You do get the gourmet food and a serviced hotel room and the cost for both of us is often less than a SINGLE premium economy airline seat.
I’d like to do that one of these days. Unfortunately, my wife is an invalid so travelling for her is out of the question. And there is no way I’d take a cruise without her (she’d never let me forget it).
