I'll never understand why people waste money on cruises when there are so many REAL vacations and destinations to enjoy.

Heed the advice of New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and visit the city. At least your body will be found.

Ever been on one?

I took my first cruise last month, and enjoyed it a great deal. I call Copenhagen, Visby, Tallin, St. Petersburg, and Stockholm destinations, don't you?

Actually, cruising is a great way to see beautiful and interesting places that you want to visit but not stay (I.E. Jamaica, Belize).
The international crew is a bonus. Very interesting meeting people from Romania, Croatia etc.
I particularly enjoy getting dressed up (especially seeing my wife all dolled up), having a martini and listening to live classical music right before dinner. These are not things I get to do in life normally.

I was on an Alaskan coast cruise four summers ago and it was one of the greatest vacations I've ever been on.

Meals, nightlife, heated pool and spa, all inclusive, except for the cocktails (beer and wine were free while dining). All that and some of the most awesome scenery I have ever seen.

Cruises are awesome.

Where else can you off your wife and get away with it so easily.

Maybe that's why they chose the "Imagination".

Cruises look less and less a good idea for a vacation to me, and they never were all that appealing. - My graduating class was planning (a few of them anyway) to take a cruise right about the time of the hurricanes last year. The class leaders kept beating the drum about making reservations even after the worst natural disaster in this country in decades. I was frankly just as glad when the cruise ships were commandeered for relief workers and other disaster housing. Nothing wrong with a group taking a cruise, but after all these years and in light of the disaster I had hoped we were operating as adults by now.
