But then, you are forgetting about visiting other ports/islands/countries,
meeting the locals and learning about their customs, shopping for things
made in that part of the world, entertainment on board, casino, excursions
that you can take on your own at these different ports or just sitting on
the deck relaxing and gazing at the wonderful ocean passing by; if you are
not in one of the pools or hot tubs. Several bands, piano players, musical
quartets...Others can probably mention many other things they love about
cruising--- many places and things to see and do on a single
cruise...Resorts are in just one place..

Gee, George, I'm glad you finally 'fessed up!' LOL!
Maybe you should write fiction on the side...while you are sitting on the
beach with a margarita!

Not him.
