Booked our first cruise for next year, just doing 2 weeks round the med

 

Really looking forward to it

You'll stick out like a sore thumb, for 2 reasons

 

1: you're well under 60 years old

2: you don't smell of piss

The in laws love cruises and are trying to get us to take Junior on one in 2020 for their 70ths

 

Apparently it’s celebrity?

 

They’re suggesting an Asian one

 

I really don’t fancy it at all but can see it happening

Sounds like shit to me. We have friends who are evangelical about cruises. They bang on all the time about them. But like caravaners in the 80s eventually most bow to the pressure try it and realise it’s utter shite.

 

Can’t think of anything worse than being stuck on a ship with a load of folk all trying to have a good time. Queuing to get off for a couple of hours then having to rush back or end up missing the boat.

 

A cruise to me just looks like 14 days which are all equivalent to your first day on a normal holiday. Travelling, queuing, transfers, rinse and repeat.

Bolton riviera for me. To hot in Dubai, but some cracking hotel deals. I even have a beer fridge if any one fances calling in for a pint

I have a couple of mates who live in Dubai (guessing I’d say 34c and 36dd) so I may just be due a few days visit later in the year

Or do the same boring thing everyday.breakfast ,ly by the pool all day then same buffet meal and bed, repeat each day????

If I go AI then I’m doing a week where I just want to relax. I’d I don’t then I’m definitely not doing the same thing each day. But with the benefit of not queuing day in day out, waiting for bushes and time watching.

 

Each to their own. I genuinely don’t get the appeal.

I’m much the same, cruises just don’t hold any appeal.

 

I know people who like to make out they’ve had some great Mediterranean experience visiting X, Y & Z over 10-14 days. Yet at best they’ve had 8 hours in each place.

 

Followed by another night on the same boat with the same folk.
