And that's just it .... if I'm spending hard-earned vacation dollars, and ultra-rare vacation time ... I want to see some real places. Not be stuck in a floating hotel on the same-everywhere ocean surface.
I don't care if the places I visit are touristy, or if they are reeking of authenticity. I don't care if beautiful hotels are part of the experience. I don't care if ocean is part of the experience.
A Norweigian coastline cruise where I can see majestic fjords or glaciers calving icebergs into the sea ... that appeals to me. Otherwise, a cruise ship (imo) is simply a hotel in the middle of absolutely nowhere.
By the way, Morrigoon's twelve ports'o'call itinerary quotes feature tons of appealing stuff .... but I note that NONE of it has anything to do with being on a cruise ship.
