It's not what you might think!
For many, cruising might seem like the antithesis of travel: hanging out with a bunch of other Americans at a buffet while you watch the world pass by your ship windows. However, there are so many cruise lines that make it feel more like floating luxury hotel than a traveling carnival. There’s something to be said about the ease of sleeping in the same bed and never having to unpack and repack your bags while hopping between countries–it can become a pretty appealing means of seeing the world. It’s a cost-efficient way of seeing some parts of the world that aren’t so easy to get to. In other words: Climb down off the high horse and join the hoi polloi. The view is nice down here.
