Cruise ships when there isn’t a pandemic? Also no.
I didn’t like the idea even before the constant norovirus outbreaks, as AnthonyI mentions above.
Mom (a claustrophobe) pointed out that once yr on a ship, you can never escape the assholes you encounter. She also figured she’d spend most of her time just walking/pacing the decks.
During a trip to Jamaica in the late 90s, what was then one of the world’s biggest cruise ships docked at Ocho Rios. Ochi’s a 15min drive E of Priory, the small N coast town where we stayed. She left port once it was dark and headed W, staying quite close to the coastline. The sea there is very shallow for a long way out from the beach, but eventually there is a massive drop off that makes for a terrific wall dive. We were sat on the beach with some friends when we were treated to the sight of what looked like a supremely fugly cross between a V fat horizontal skyscraper and a tacky AF Christmas tree, given the am’t of nasty lights on her.
“That’s a big, hideous floating hotel,” I pointed out and visably shuddered.
“Ya, mon,” a friend agreed. “A big, h’ugly, flowtin’ 'otel.”
“I much prefer being with you than them,” I said, dismissing the behemoth with a flippant gesture.
The first whole day I ever spent 'pon De Island, we visited a bakery in Ochi. The very nice lady behind the counter asked after a while, “Yu come off da boat [cruise ship]?”
“No,” mom said, with disgusted feeling, then added, “We don’t want to be stuck on a boat with a buncha Americans.”
“Oah, yu from Canada, den [then]?” she innocently asked.
“No, we’re American,” mom explained, and we grinned.
This was also the day we learned that sarcasm was mostly wasted on kindly, non-urban dwellers. This lady is sweet as pie, and no dummy, and after a sec she got it, LOL’ing. We always made certain that waiting on us was far from tedious wherever we went, and she told us we were lotsa fun. Her bakery ('twas her joint as it turned out) was one of the places we went several times during every trip, and she was as happy to see us as we were seeing her.
