Cruise?

Fanny packs. Stretch pants. Indulgence. These are the words that come to mind when I think of a cruise. I have never gone on a cruise and after all of the recent events with wrecks, fires and power outages, the appeal continues to dwindle. I understand that it's a great way to see many destinations in a short period of time. However, cruises don't offer any type of cultural immersion. Not sleeping IN the city that you stop in seems to discredit the experience in my eyes. When we spent Christmas Night in San Juan, Puerto Rico on our way to Vieques, we were practically the only people at the hotel not boarding a ship. Everyone talked about the different lines, the casinos and which buffets were the best. I have never been happier to not contribute to a conversation. What do you think? Would you go on a cruise?
