I feel the same way. Just looking at the crowds on board those ships gives me a feeling of needing to run away.

Re: Diamond Princess

As I said before if you haven't done a cruise you have no idea . Bit of a pre conceived impression without justification. Still if a stick in the mud type of person one will never find out what they are missing

I'm not missing anything - I'm avoiding the grotesque .....

I feel the same way about oversized passenger aircraft .....

You can also find quite areas such as the library if that is your want.

A typical response for those who have not done a cruise. they have no concept of what cruising is all about

presumably they don't go out for meals or to a pub either as they don't like being with others.

What they don't realise that you can do your own thing when in port, not go with an organised group although you would miss a lot of local history.

i suspect you think it is like Butlins and Hi de Hi, well you could not be further from the truth. I don't understand why so against when never been on one, beats me.

No, my idea of a cruise is a boat with sails and no more than a
dozen other persons with me!
And l have been on a cruise RS, it was on lake kariba in zimbabwe
for 14 days, just me and my pal, and our families and two black
crew members, the ''ship'' was an old rhodesian railways sleeper
carriage mounted on two sponsoons with a deisel engine in each
one, and had a home made navigation bridge!
This was the best 14 days of my life, the two crew gave us first
class treatment in every way, and the wild life was out of this world!!
Sorry, but you can keep your mobile chicken batteries!!

Don't presume anything ..... if your related experiences are typical then it's you who've led a sheltered life .....
