in thread My preferred way to holiday/vacation is:

I've never tried taking a cruise, but I may just do that for a future vacation to give it a try... my next vacation is a long way off though, unfortunately. Boo on traditional corporate America and their incredibly stingy vacation allotments. :-(

I went to the Philippines for two weeks back in April, but all the pandemic related regulations made moving around between islands pretty difficult, so I ended up spending most of my time on Cebu and Leyte islands.

    Hmm, i feel absolutely no desire to be locked into a floating casino for a week.

    Not sure if this is still a thing these days, but in the pre-Covid era, many freight ships had a cabin or two for tourists/travelers. Wouldn't mind going from Europe to Asia that way, seeing the Suez canal and stuff. Especially when i could do it without stopping at touristy places every day that only exist to legally pick my pockets...

      I would actual lean more toward the ones that go from port-to-port in different parts of the world, not the floating casino kind (I rarely gamble, I just generally don't like doing it).

      I normally like to spend at least a couple of weeks in a foreign country/region (depending on size) if I go, so I wouldn't expect to get as much out of a day or two at several different port stops, but it might help me at least figure out which places I would and wouldn't want to spend a full vacation in the future. :-)

      The idea of a cruise has never been very appealing to me. Although, from my point of view, I would not discount it completely. But my partner really does not like travelling by boat so I don't think a cruise is something I will ever experience.
