Amen, Tony. Last month we cruised around the Hawaiian islands for a week, getting off at each island to schmooze and such. Had a room with a balcony and a beautiful view, the ship was The Pride Of America (brand new, ultra modern), and on top of that, all we had to pay for was the room upgrade to balcony (ticket with standard room was free), service overages, and air fare (which we got cheap).
I'll never do it again. If I had to sum everything up in a word, it would be "sub-standard," and I made that judgment in non-snob mode. Lousy food, too much hassle coming and going. Even the islands, luaus, etc were very much "So what?" When I summed everything up I realized that, from now on, it's a free-wheelin' week in Jamaica for us come vacation time! :) And the thing is, I like boats of all kinds. Used to sail when I was younger, canoed throughout Canada for three summers, and even enjoyed my daily trip on the Chicago Ferry going to work in the city as a kid. Just no cruiseliners from now on. Let us know how your excursion goes.
