Grandiose cruise ships are pointless, amirite?

I also don't enjoy cruise ships, but I do think you're missing the point of them. People don't do cruise ships because they like the water and elements. They do them because it's basically a big hotel that goes different places.

And it's a lot less expensive than taking any other sort of trip with the same amenities

I envision being trapped at sea on a boat with horrible people, and CHILDREN. No thanks.

Plenty of adult only cruises. There's even entire cruise lines dedicated to them.

Totally different from being trapped on land with horrible people and children.

Hard agree! Good one Only thing I can think of is the "land entertainment" is for the kids and the parents can enjoy the sea vibe

They are a scourge on the natural environment and operate under foreign flags to avoid penalties for their shady practices too. Even if cruises appealed to me I could not enjoy them in good conscious

It doesn't sound like you've ever been on a cruise.

Hotsauce is pointless. It burns and can give you stomach problems and painful poop. I've never had it, but your living life wrong if you eat hotsauce

That is exactly the perfect description, floating malls. The city that I live in Greece is one that cruise boats sometimes dock.

I am with you, cruise ships of the size and type that you describe are extremely damaging to the environment and strangely, and this is proven, damaging to the local economies of the places they visit. They should be on this gigantesque form that they are now, banned from ports.

You just named a lot of popular attractions and basically told us we should enjoy them in different ways rather than going on a cruise and enjoying a little bit of them all

But you can hit all the same attractions at a tourist destination. Why does it need to be floating? I just don't understand it

Because the cruise ship will take you to multiple different attractions while keeping you entertained between ports. They're not my thing either but I get why people enjoy them.

Lol no restaurants? So what do you expect people to do at sea, Just stare at the waves for 7 days straight?

There's a three month cruise that takes you around the world, personally I'd like to do this cruise(with the exception that I'd like to stay more than a day at some destinations, like jump ship and get on the next one if possible so I could spend a week or so in some places) but I couldn't imagine doing that without some form of entertainment since crossing the pacific or the Atlantic Ocean would take a good chunk of time, and that's coming from someone who enjoys reading and playing video games a lot

Cruises are awesome. You don't just dock. You get off the ship in multiple cities and go on day trips to all sorts of interesting places. You get everything, all from one ship.

I hate cruises. For me, it felt like... living at the mall. I was kind of mortified by the fact that all these things were taking place around me and I had to just exist in the middle of it. Like, I couldn't just leave my room without seeing people because there's a million things happening at once. It's not the same as leaving a hotel or private house even if you get a suite on the ship because you basically live there. It's like having ten thousand people being entertained and fed inside an extension of your house. I just want to rent a place, walk outside and see people living their life, instead of being entertained by this gigantic vessel I can't escape from.
