In reply to the discussion: Crying Myself to Sleep on the Biggest Cruise Ship Ever [View all]qwlauren35
(6,309 posts)6. I may do one more cruise
But I prefer a bus tour. I like to read, so being on the bus doesn't bother me. But there is more excursion than bus, and that's my preference. I'm on the boat for the excursions, not for the boat. Last time I went on a cruise, I read between excursions. The boat offered little of interest. If the stage entertainment was midday, that would have been better for me. I'm not a night person.
I would like to see the Western Caribbean, so that might be a cruise I would take, but mainly, I want to see Puerto Rico and Martinique, so hopper planes might be better.

While that was a trauma for your daughter, for sure, you can't say it happens frequently on all cruise ships.

No. The only voyage I took was a misadventure -- a trip down the rivers of France that was plagued by bad weather.

River cruises look interesting to me. Not these gigantic floating amusement parks.
