lolife67 10/15/23 12:41:12 PM #53:	$14,000 is a ridiculous amount to spend on a cruise. I cruise regularly and they aren't typically anywhere near that expensive, even for a suite. That being said, they're also very fun and it's a nice getaway where most things are included in the price. You get to see new places, go on excursions, good food (generally), etc. <cite>lolife67 posted [p:976669696] in What's the...

Hospy 10/15/23 12:59:40 PM #55:	Its the easiest way to book a vacation to visit multiple places. Instead of having to book separate hotels and figure out transportation in every place you just go where the cruise takes you and then you go back to the ship.

I've seen the grand canyon, I've been to Disney Land, stayed in fancy hotels in big cities (usually for weddings), etc. I don't see how any of it is worth spending thousands of dollars for a week-long existence in a place that's slightly different from home.

No, but all places on Earth are just other places on Earth.

Not only are there pirates and giant sea creatures, but... it's probably better if I tell you a tale. A tale of a fateful trip. It started on this tropic port, aboard a tiny ship. Their mate was a mighty sailing man. The skipper? Brave and sure. Five passengers set sail that day for a three hour tour. When suddenly, the weather started getting rough. The tiny ship was tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost. Thankfully the next morning, the ship took ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle. The survivors were Gilligan.

IdiotMachine 10/15/23 9:49:12 PM #93:	LeoRavus posted... God damn you take some expensive vacations. Must be some rich people packages. I spent 2 weeks in Vietnam and everything including flight, hotel, and food came to $2k. Thats the thing- we dont do packages. Everything is planned and private for us. On our trip to Japan, for example, we got first class JR Passes (because we went during peak cherry blossom season and we didnt want to get the economy JR Passes since they are first come/first serve), and we hired private tour guides to meet us at the hotel and guide us around for each of our destinations. It was beautiful, amazing, and extremely educative on the Shintoism and their religious culture (we even slept at a temple, where they had curfews and strict co-ed rules to the point my wife and I couldnt even sleep in the same building!). Our main stops were- Hiroshima, Miyajima, Himeji, Koyosan, Kyoto, Nara, Nikko, and Tokyo. But our first international trip to Greece, we were running cheapo and we did two things- rented a car and drove all around Greece for a week+ (Corinth, Nemea, Mycenae, Nafplio, Epidarus, Olympia, Patras, Delphi, Meteroa, Thermopylae), and a three day bus tour of Athens and surrounding area. The latter sucked and is sort of erased from my memory since we were stuck with like 50 people and could barely hear the tour guide, whereas the former, even though we had no tour guides, is vividly fresh in my memory because it was so wild that we did all that (driving like a thousand miles in a little over a week in a foreign country, just to sightsee). --- https://i.imgur.com/XNEdLrJ.png <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:976679170] in What's the...

Kami_no_Kami 10/15/23 10:29:51 PM #97:	The one cruise Ive taken stopped at many interesting locations I would have never visited otherwise. We started at Venice, then went to Bari, Santorini, Athens and Dubrovnik, Croatia (a walled city thats the place where the Kings Landing scenes were shot in GoT) with one additional day at sea. For me it was very relaxing. Food is covered, you have a show every night, and the nature of the ship makes you feel like youre either cut off from the stresses of the world or actively exploring a new environment all the time. Basically, its like an all-inclusive resort that changes location automatically every day. Very cool. <cite>Kami_no_Kami posted [p:976679798] in What's the...
