To all of you who have cruised a gazillion times ... I'm wondering if you guys travel frequently in general or you just love cruising more than any other form of travel. Do you take other land-based trips throughout the year or just cruise once or twice a year? What got you hooked? Just curious. I can't relate yet ... talk to me in November after our first cruise. But I really enjoy travelling by car to other places ... like Vermont. I LOVE Vermont. If you've never been, I highly recommend it. The season doesn't even matter (unless it's mud season). It's so beautiful year-round and there's so much to do. You haven't lived until you've snowmobiled! I also loved Sandals. You just can't beat not even having to carry a wallet -- all-inclusive is a beautiful, albeit expensive, thing. The service is impeccable, entertainment outstanding, accomodations spacious, and activities ample. I think I'd be addicted to those if it weren't for the expense and the flying ... I HATE to fly.Regarding my earlier comments and all the responses on the tipping and all the extras on cruises ... I'll revise my earlier statement about wishing cruise lines would be all-inclusive. I wish that cruise lines would go all-inclusive except for alcohol and casinos. We don't really drink and I know alcohol is expensive, so I'm fine with paying extra for that. And clearly casino expenses can never be included. But I see no reason why ALL tipping, restaurants, soft drinks, etc. can't be included in one price -- I'm all for that!
