You can probably control amount of food to eat. I can’t resist the 4 desserts offered with dinner. I remember ordering all 4 when I was younger 😂 But I can see your point about all the prep necessary to go on a cruise.
I am 90 minutes drive from home to port Canaveral, so will book a last minute bargain cruise as short as 4 days round trip. It’s just me getting a break from chores and cooking.

When we lived in Simi Valley, we were 60 miles from San Pedro, so took a few last-minute cruises when ships weren’t filled. Our suitcases were packed and under the bed, so we could go with a couple days’ notice. Those were the days. Now it’s a long one-day drive, a comfortable two-day drive, or a flight to reach the port.
Hubby eats all the desserts. I prefer carbs over sweets, so enjoy the pasta dishes.
On every night’s menu in the early 2000s, on Princess, the standard pasta dish was Farfalle alla Rustica (Bowtie Pasta with Veal). It was my favorite. I don’t know when they stopped serving that, but it’s been gone for at least 10 years now.
