(10,443 posts)conclusion ever since I started travelling in Europe. In Norway we were in Geiranger, which is a lovely town at the tip of a fjord. Apparently it's a cruise stop, and a good part of the time we were there a cruise ship was in the water. The cruise people got off the ship and went to this giant souvenir shop that was right there, the kids whined a lot, they ate ice cream cones, ambled around a bit and then it was back to the ship. We had the same experience in Key West. I had thought about maybe trying a cruise, but after running into various cruise ships while on vacations it started to look like something I would not really like. It's like the shore visits are for shopping and then it's away to the next shopping stop. I'm thinking I might forego that travel experience.
