Help Me with Why You love crusing

[Atty]

I'm trying to come up with as many reasons as I can in my comments section on my blog entry about loving cruising at http://www.lvatty.wordpress.com to try and push more traffic over back here to these forums.

 

Thanks.

Good luck on your project. I hope lots of people respond.

 

What I love about cruising is being on the ocean. That includes the beauty of entering ports and leaving ports. It is especially cool if the moon is full during the cruise.

There's nothing like being at sea, even for just a few days. Just standing on the deck watching the waves go by, I understood why my grandfather spent over 30 years as a radio officer in the Merchant Marine service.

 

That, and I'm headed to places that were completely out of my reach a few years ago. It's an amazing way to get your viewpoint on the world changed in a short period of time. Ya, you're playing tourist and looking through these places that are much different than where you live, but at the same time, you know there are people living and working day to day lives. Just as you do back home.

I love crusing for so many reasons.

The price outbeats any land vacation

There is nothing like standing on your balcony watching the sun set

There is nothing more breathtaking then having the sun in your face, blue skies and blue waters surrounding you.

There are so many activities that you will always be entertained

The food is great

People are soo friendly on cruises

You relax once you step onboard

You get to visit numerous wonderful places throughout your cruise

Lastly, I love cruising b/c you will always have another booked after you get home.

I love being waited on while I have a "foo foo" drink by the pool. I just love being spoiled!

Because you can visit X countries/islands in Y days and never have to unpack/pack but once. You don't have to do any traveling (planes/trains/taxis) between destinations, you go to sleep in one and wake up in another. The level of service is consistent throughout the trip - you only have to tell one waiter and one room steward what you like/don't like instead of multiple hotels.

I love cruising because:

 

I am waited on hand and foot 24/7

I don't have to cook

I can get up from the table and leave the dirty dishes to someone else

I can be entertained every day in many ways

I unpack once and see many different places

Almost everything is included in one price

I appreciate all the responses but I was hoping I could have them as comments in my blog to give other reads an idea and hopefully drive them back to this site.

I love cruising because I get to spend time with my family away from the phone and the demands of daily life. :) ;)

The ship is a destination unto itself, but you get the added benefit of visiting different places! Aside from the small cabin sizes (which is why we book JS's!), it's just like any good resort should be!

I love cruising because it's the most convenient and relaxing way to explore the world.

For us living in Florida you can't beat it. A 3 hour drive to paradise. And it's the only way I can ever truly relax!

From my Cruise manual,"Big Al's Quick Guide To Cruising":

 

Why do so many people cruise and love cruising? Simple:cruising is popular because it takes you away from the pressures and strains of comtemporary life.Cruise ships are really self-contained resorts,without crime,which can take you to several destinations in just a few days.Cruising offers you and your family a wide variety of fun,entertainment,destinations,and romance…even the children,and teens,yes,teens-will enjoy cruising especially if you choose the right cruise line or ship.

Compared to most land destinations,cruises offer you much better value for your money.For a start,your initial fare includes your accommodation,main meals and all your snacks,room service,entertainment,lectures,social functions,participation events,movies AND use of the ship’s facilities,including the Gym and fitness center,casino (don’t have to be a member for either),and perhaps air tickets and transfers to get to and from your cruise ship.The hassles of a land based vacation are completely eliminated in one very neat package-and you only have to unpack once!

 

Hope this helps.....

Where else can you literally "sail into the sunset"?

Just like my screen name. Ocean..Sky..Breeze. Put those 3 together and you have a little bit of heaven.

Give me a balcony, a foo foo drink, some laughter, and I'm set.
