Why A Cruise is Right for You

Why go on a cruise?

I'm sitting on a lunch break at my day job (the one that pays the bills, as opposed to the travel agent one that I do for the fun of it) and I am longing to be on a cruise right now. This day has been really stressful and awful - people asking a lot of me. But when I get home there are little people asking a lot of me there too. I spend a lot of my time doing things for other people, mostly because I want to, but sometimes I really want to take some time for myself and that's hard to do with so many demands for my time and energy. Even at home I tend to always be doing something and it is hard to just sit and relax. That's what a cruise is for me - relaxing. I don't have to worry about anything, the food is there if you're hungry, my kids can go be entertained by someone else for a little while, and there are plenty of things to do or not do, depending on my mood.

As you might have guessed, I hate to be bored, I love to have a lot of different things going on and I crave diversity in my day to day activities. It's hard for me to relax because I get bored easily.
That what a cruise is for me - not boring. I can always find something to entertain me on a cruise ship - be it a wine tasting, a show, an enriching lecture, or climbing a rock wall, there's plenty to do.

Also as much as I love to travel, I loathe hassle, especially when I'm traveling with my kids. One of the best things about a cruise is getting to go to new places without a lot of the travel hassle - Unpack once and let the ship take you to the next destination. We can get off and do the Rick Steves thing and explore all the off the beaten path points of interest without having to worry about planes, trains, automobiles, and questionable hotels. Many of the ports that I've visited are a bit of a challenge to get to by other means. That's what a cruise is for me - hassle free travel to interesting places.

You can take a trip and you can go on vacation, the two aren't necessarily the same thing. For me a cruise is always a vacation. Today I'm counting the weeks and months until my next sailing and looking forward to a good book, a comfy chair overlooking the ocean, and an attentive waiter bringing me drinks.
