Would You Take a Free Ocean Cruise?

[RCMerchant]

I don't think I would. Too many weird people I don't know. I would if I was 23 years old, but I'm pushing 59.

I've only been on one ("only" ha) and it was back in 2005 with my college roommate. I had a good time but I've never felt drawn to take another. Now if it was free....? Maybe.

[Alex]

Right now, no. In more normal times, sure.

We once took an eight day cruise from Italy to France, Spain and Portugal and the time on the ship was kind of boring.
The cool people hung out at the designated smoking section, so we joined. There really wasn't much other to do than to get drunk which wasn't my thing. We did a couple of 3:00 AM smoke-meetings - those were the best moments on the entire trip.
I doubt I would ever go on a cruise again. I'd be more interested in taking a trip with the Trans-Siberian Express.

I I had the time, sure. Free is free, & I've not been on one before.

Chances are I won't have the time tho.

My wife and I took a 9 day Caribbean cruise in 2019. It was great. I would definitely do it again. Stopping at the various islands was nice, but I enjoyed just being on the ship cruising. I got the unlimited drink package and definitely got my money's worth out of it. There was so much to do on the ship you couldn't possibly do all of it. Saw a few shows, gambled in the casino (and hit about $700 on a slot machine by accident . . . I was literally just killing time waiting for my wife and BANG!), went to several bars on the ship (jazz bar, piano bar, karaoke bar, English pub, bionic bar - which had a robot that mixed your drinks, and a couple others), great food, trivia contests, all you can eat soft-serve ice cream machine . . . damn it was fun.

Before Covid I wouldn't because being on a ship for days doesn't suit me
After Covid I won't because being on a ship for days doesn't suit me.

Basically. When I go on vacation I like to explore. Taking a cruise is like being trapped in a resort. That's why it got boring for us.
As a means of travel, it's not the best way to see stuff.

If I go on a cruise, everyone will be saying "You're going to need a bigger boat." 

[indianasmith]

No, Trev, they'd be saying: "This boat's gonna need a bigger toilet!"   

My wife has wanted a cruise for years; now that we're both about to get the vaccine, I'd jump on the opportunity.

[Trevor]

No, Trev, they'd be saying: "This boat's gonna need a bigger toilet!"   

Thanks I needed that.

Why would I want to be stranded in the middle of the ocean with people I want to kill at first sight? At least punch them in the face.

[lester1/2jr]

I went on one. I helped babysit my niece and nephew in exchange for my mother and sister covering my room.

The very first time you walk around the ship you basically see everything you're going to see for the next however long it is. The food was awesome thuogh

[RCMerchant]

I mostly eat cereal and sandwhiches lately. I drink a lot of booze as well, so sailing across the the 7 seas in a floating bar would likely kill me.

Ronny, I think things would be very different if we were all on that cruise together. Every night, bad movie night.
