When I imagine myself on an ocean cruise, the fantasy usually ends with me jumping off the ship in the middle of the ocean. I'm not a people person. So imagine my surprise to learn that a few spend nearly all their time on cruise ships. "Ms. Deitchman is among a small and devoted band of cruise passengers, self-described “cult cruisers” who book back-to-back cruises for, well, more or less forever, aiming to essentially live on board. Since she resumed cruising, she has spent only one day on shore for laundry and regrouping while she waited for her next sailing. When the pandemic shut down all sailing from United States ports, these cruise enthusiasts basically lost their homes." Back when the Titanic sailed, a cruise was to get to Europe for the summer. You can still do that, and I don't hate the idea, no jet lag. But to get on a boat just to get on a boat? Creepy. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/06/travel/cruise-ship-living.html
I never considered myself a cruise person and had no interest in ever going on one, however my wife wanted so... We did end up going on a week long cruise back in January. It turns out, I loved it and had a good time, so you never know.
Cruises are all about getting drunk and eating like a pig. If you like booze you should be fine. I don't drink so I have no interest in getting on a drunk boat.
