Cruise ships s*ck. Cattle cars at sea and petri dishes for bacteria with rapist employees

I agree. I hate to say it but when these giant Cruise Ships were built and they lowered the rates, they invited the scum of the earth to come on board. I've had friends who have had terrible times on the these Cruises. There are some exceptions like the Cruises to Alaska where you have a different type of clientele. There are also some wonderful cruises of historical type on smaller ships in the Mediterranean. But the ships that go to the Caribbean or Mexico. Forget about it.

Bingo. I have a friend who did loads of them before the mega ships. The smaller ships back then were a lot of fun. The mega ships today are like floating malls with loads fo low lifes. Alaskan crriose are still pretty small ships. The monster ships are stupid. Usually like Disney World - filled with ovrweight people who eat like pigs and want mindless entertainment.

My idea of vacation is not cruising around in a petri dish with 3,000 people where there might be an outbreak of something.

Cruises of 14 days or longer seem to have a better group of people. Older and more classy. Not many big families — and I mean “big” in every way.
