I know that cruising is good value for the money for a "upscale vacation" but please lets face it, cruising is not a CHEAP vacation. CAMPING in a tent , with food from the grocery store is a cheap vacation. I know because that is what we have to do for a " family vacation" We can't afford the cruise for 5 people and " we get a seperate cabin for the kids" type of trip. Please don't misunderstand me, I don't mind this , I'm just getting a little annoyed with some cruisers who go on and on about "how economical" cruising is. Ha. It's a good value "luxury" vacation as viewed by many other ( working poor) people and yes I hope one day to have the luxury of frequent cruising, because I do consider it luxury!! Those who can cruise often are lucky and yes I am sure that they have had to work for it, but let's not forget that for many cruising is a rare treat, saved for anniverseries and other special occassions. P.S. Yes I am jealous LOL how on earth do yu get the kind of job that allows you to cruise 4 or 5 times a year!! ( and not be retirement age)
