Some people happen to find discussing current affairs interesting. You may not, but we’re all different. That’s what cruising, and meeting people, is all about.🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in any way suggesting they are right, just that it's a view likely to be taken by those financially invested in getting things back to normal.

Debate about anything is fine by me, as long as all parties are interested... What I don't like is how the political discussions become insulting and personal because somebody doesn't agree with an opinion. Nobody will ever get insulted because they don't like Eastenders...

To have a conversation, both sides need to have some interest in the subject, hence why many people on cruises talk about cruising. I have never had in depth discussions on cruise ships about politics or Eastenders and have always managed to have a fantastic time with lovely people from all walks of life. Why would you insult someone because they like a TV program? Andy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baolua Posted June 12, 2020 #125 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Food for thought and What the vast majority of people forget is that social distancing is not law but only guidance. So in theory UK cruise lines do not have to change anything on board a ship!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
