I was on a cruise one time, and a older gentleman was passed out on a stairwell near the main deck. He looked so adorable, that I gave him a bow from my hair, and a bit of lipstick. Now when he woke up, he would be ready to party again.

When we first discovered cruising, I was of the same mindset, somewhat. But through observation, I have come to the conclusion that many people will either save for that "once in a lifetime" vacation, or maybe even get a "loan", and that's where the "mixture" of "class" as you call it comes into play. I would imagine some of this "trash" that you speak of probably has to save up for six, or even thirteen years to go cruising.:rolleyes:

But, I have also noted that "money" is not the determining factor in "class" when it comes to the cruising community.

I don't equate being poor with being trash. I seen a bunch of "trash" on my cruises, and I am sure they had no problem finding money to cruise. They were platinum members!
