To each their own. For sure. We've done a few cruises and some escorted land trips. Each have their plus and minuses. We also continue to do DIY as I call it. There's just so much of the world that is unavailable from a ship. And for some people that's fine. Even more than fine. But not for us. At some point I suppose we won't be well enough for DIYs (in our 70s now) but then we may switch to trains. Good luck.
