I’ve never figured out why people pay to get on those things anyway.
I’ve been on a half dozen cruises and enjoyed them all.
Like any transportation medium, problems do arise.

I’ve been on four Princess cruises and they were awesome. It’s a handy way to see a number of different places without having to pack up and go to the airport every time you want to go someplace else. It’s also a boatload less hassle than an airplane for international travel. You don’t get anywhere near the hassle from Customs getting off of a ship as you do on a plane.
It is not for everyone just the same as going hog hunting isn’t for me but I don’t begrudge the people who enjoy it.
I have to admit I don’t know why or HOW people go on these “cruises” frequently, like every year.
It’s a boatload of money. Although you can get many things for free, just avoid the things that are extra.
I finally went on a ship this year. My sister, RIP, wanted us to go on a sort of final cruise with her. So we went, including my toddler son who gets no discount. I always wanted to go on a ship, but I really couldn’t care less about beaches or 3rd-world countries. I got to go on the biggest ship, the Oasis, and it was nice. Actually some of the visits were rather nice, but again overall not a big deal. I was generally impresses with the ship and the idea of it satisfied me.
I liked it fine. But not something I need to spend 5k on again. At least I did It.
BTW, we got the pleasure of Cuban refugees in a raft. Fun stuff.
