Cruise vacations were always my favorite. They're not quite as good as they used to be when I was a kid but are still great. Cruise line absolutely matters as far as who you're sailing with. We almost exclusively sail with RCL, but we did a Carnival cruise once when my dad had a cruise hankering and it was last minute. Completely different experience altogether. There were hardly any events, the excursion packages sucked, the service and food were shit and the other people sucked. Shit, we had to ask for fucking bread at dinner time.
Every RCL cruise has been a blast though. The dinners are usually the best part. I've never had a less than fantastic waiter on any RCL cruise. When my brother and I were younger, those waiters would have 10 shrimp cocktails waiting at our table every night because they knew we loved them so much. We'd take my uncle on some cruises as well (he was an interesting guy, had to live with us because meningitis fucked his brain up as a baby). He'd just spend all his time at the bars chatting with the bartenders. We took a couple cruises on the Soverign about 5 years apart and damn if those guys at the pool bar didn't immediately recognize him and have Other than that, there's just lots of shit to do, excursions, plenty of on-ship activities, the casino, a good variety of performances at the theatre, a nice spa, etc. Not for everyone, I know, but definitely the best vacay if you want to just fuck off, not care about anything and get fed delicious food.

Yes, we're just pointing out that a cruise vacation is basically filled with white trash dregs of society.

Yeah, we've gone on one Carnival cruise and it was "ok", but the crowd was pretty ghetto. The other two cruises were Royal Carribean and we enjoyed them much more than the Carnival.

There were multiple brawls during our one carnival cruise. The crowd in general were mostly 20s kids and they'd just constantly trash shit and were noisy as all fuck. And damn, the lower decks always smelled like weed which really isn't too fantastic in a confined area like that.

On my vacations I typically hike 6-12 KM per day with a pack on in the mountains. A cruise sounds dreadful to me. I've never done one, have no plans to do so.
