General Discussion

I’m not denying the risks for an instant

For some of us, it’s a very relieving, esoteric experience to leave land and all your cares behind for a finite period in which one and a partner, friends, or even alone are free to consume alcohol, if you enjoy that, without being concerned that you have responsibilities other than to remain civil. To eat at any time a variety of foods which include specialty restaurants, to enjoy the tranquility sailing over the open ocean, to lounge inside or out, listen to music, read a book, see a show, commune with others, gamble in a casino, have late night food and drink, walk endlessly, exercise at Will, play cards, be involved in group activities…OR NOT.

It is not for everyone, that is for certain and no one will ever tie you up and put you on a ship. But there is a reason that hundreds of thousands of us love the experience as there are many millions who enjoy amusement park rides and others who wouldn’t dream of participating.

And I didn’t even mention the ports and touring islands and other areas.
