I don't think they'd let me fish off the side, and that's the only good reason to be on a boat.

Honestly I'm neutral.

I was in the U.S. Navy and we were out to sea for an average of 10 months out of the year. We were underway a lot, and I absolutely loved it. I miss being out to sea, I miss going from country to country and all the different port visits. Have been all over the world multiple times, 50+ different countries, seen so many amazing cultures.

I would like to maybe replicate that one day even though I know it would be a completely different experience on a cruise ship compared to my military service. So one one hand I wouldn't do a cruise ship because I have already spent so much time on the ocean and I wouldn't be able to replicate that same experience on a cruise ship. On the other hand it would be the closest I could get to replicating it.

I wouldn't want to see all the tourist type entertainment stuff on the ship though. I'd rather see the engine room, the bridge, the inner workings of the crew of the ship. That would be closer to my military service than the typical cruise ship event stuff.

I went on two and they were excellent. Ive since learned how bad they are for the environment, so I doubt Id go again until they address that.

Damn.
I've never been in the navy, but I'd be all over touring the engine and bridge, and maybe even the laundry.
