I don't do crowds, be it land, sea or air, I just don't do crowds. Therefore I feel more protected than the 'adventurous' bunch. I had my adventures/travels from about age 19 to 40 and I'm over it. There's no way to know how much Covid would have been shut down IF air travel from southeast Asia had been shut down ASAP. But, by design, it wasn't. These giant cruise labs will be the next worldwide incubator/spreader of stuff I don't want.

I’ll be heading out on one in a couple weeks as well. This will be my 3rd cruise. I enjoy them, but we are not on Carnival this time. Carnival seems to attract the party crowd. We are on Princess. Enjoy. We leave from Ft Lauderdale on the 25th We leave from Ft Lauderdale on 23rd

It’s the fastest way to lose weight I lost about 12 pounds I believe we tracked it down to bad eggs on a local buffet I leave for a cruise in 2 weeks. 😂 My wife is wanting us to do one. I never have. I told her it will not be on the EBT cruise line “Carnival”. I’ve seen to many democrats in there letting their true behavior show. I don’t want to be in that environment if I can’t carry.

We’ve always done Royal Caribbean and had good luck

💩Norovirus has been a problem on cruise ships for past few years. There was a time it was week after week. Don’t know what changed over decades. Wife used to work for Carnival so we went on a few cruises in the 90s early 2000 but we never got sick. Maybe the disinfectant procedures changed or something because we went on 3 or 4 cruises plus parties when they launched new cruise ships and never got sick. It’s weird this Norovirus transmission going on periodically in late 2000s.

They really push the hand washing now
I think a lot of it is kids running around grabbing food
We usually sit down and order or eat at the specialty restaurants

Boho and I have had great experiences on the two 3 week overseas cruises we have taken on Norwegian to Europe and Central America. Longer cruises like that have a slightly different type of passenger than the 3 & 4 day cruises to the Caribbean. No way I would be caught dead on one of those booze cruise party boats if you gave me a ticket for free.
The worst people we encountered on those cruises were the Nuevo rich Indians and Chinese and most of them were OK. We did Alaska before COVID by a couple of years and can't recall seeing any Democrats. If we did they were so inconspicuous that I can't remember them. We did see plenty of Asians like you mentioned. The thing that stood out about them was that they always were masked up and very often in gloves. Like I said, this was well before COVID too. They were obsessive about it. A nice trip but I think if I ever do a big trip like that again, I'd like to see England, Scotland, and Ireland. The reason we did that one was because my mother wanted all her children to go on vacation with her. All her children and grandchildren went except one grandson who had just started a new job. Great scenery to be seen and no matter what I can say I've been to Canada. We did: New York Halifax Dublin Belfast Amsterdam Brussels Le Havre London I think it was 4 or 5 days across the Atlantic from Halifax to Dublin. We had a fantastic time and met some great friends. I don't remember any kids or Amish on the boat.

I’d like to do the transatlantic
We’ve looked at some repositioning cruises
My wife did the Panama Canal before we were married and really enjoyed it

The key is don’t do cheap cruise. That leaves out 99% of the riff raft and 100% of the knuckle draggers.

My brother had it and he said he ruined two pairs of pants and a pair of shoes.

I badly wanna do one of those Viking River cruises on the Rhine River in Germany. I hear them advertise on the radio “no children and no casinos” and that appeals to me. Probably very few misbehaving ghetto residents either

A good friend of mine and his wife just got back from a cruise a few weeks ago. They were in a handicap accessible room. Woke from a nap and found bedbugs. Spent the rest of the trip home in a non-handicap room where she had a very hard time moving around. They had to purchase new cloths and bagged the rest up.
I swear as we become more populated we digress on healthy living and healthy environments.
Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.

Probably very few misbehaving ghetto residents either Have you priced one out? They are cheaper than the ones here in the U.S. The biggest problem with the Rhine cruise is hitting it when there is enough water to travel.
