Cruise Ships
I've been on many cruises, my Ex was a fan of them.
To me they are nothing more than a mobile hotel, you can 'check in' in one city, see 3 or 4 more, then get dropped back to where you started.
In my mind, if I want to visit another country, I want to be there for more than a few hours.
Best of luck.

Cruise Ships
Cruise ships are quite popular and I do agree with Murf that I like to spend more then a few hours at some of the destinations.
We have cruised much of the gulf with the eastern cruises as well as the western. We have not explored beyond that and most of the cruises were from the companies we deal with.
The best one was for our 25th when we did the Panama canal although some of the stops we had been to before for vacations the canal was the highlight! We have talked about going again next year with the 100th coming up and the big channel for the 200 foot wide monster boats opening.

Cruise Ships
I enjoy cruises, and am annoyed mainly at the oriental-bazaar-like aspect to knowing what a good price is. As for the odd rare failure, I figure this will make all of them take extreme care.
But ships and lines differ in whom they attract, what they offer, where they go, pricing policies (drinks, tips, excursions, ...) dress norms, size, etc. so I'd make the first stop a bookstore to get pointed to the shelf of books on cruising.

I doubt that we ever go since we are moving to an assisted living home. I'm sure they have handicap rooms and other facilitys that would cater to the slower than slow crowd like we fit into now, but beinng the Mrs. isn't interested it just isn't gong to happen.
Thanks anyway for all the information, perhaps someone else wiill benefit from it.
Frank.

Just saw on the news where a cruise ship caught fire, it sure seems like a lot of things have been going wrong lately. I don't remember hearing much in the past about them having all sorts of troubles.

I suspect it's just we're hearing more about it lately Frank.
I've been renting condo's the last few years quite a bit. I use a website dedicated to owners listing their own properties for rent. It's loaded with pics and area info and you can read comments from previous owners too.
My wife has some serious food issues and I've just lost my taste for restaurant / take-out food so having our own full kitchen, etc., and not being in a big (loud) resort / hotel complex is really nice.
Best of luck.

Murf;
Sorry to hear about you taking the tumble. It seems we are always about a second and a half from being banged up somehow or other.
Your comment about eating the take out hit's home here too, some of the stale looking potato salad and other prepared things at the supermarket deli keep us eating our own food. We've never gotten sick from any deli food, but sometimes it made you wonder as you bit into it.
Frank.
