Who pays?

I view cruise ships as little more than mobile Butlins Holiday Camps.



Talking from experience Peter?

Of Butlins or cruises?

I didnt know Butlins had camps in Alaska, Caribbean, China, Australia, South Africa, Arabian Gulf, India, Mediterranean, Panama Canal and Beyond, South America the Falkland, Cape Horn, Antarctic, Baltic Sea etc etc

That said you havn't really touched a nerve there are plenty of "never tried it" who talk the same way.

I simply don't like people around me or doing anything in a group: I'm not a "club" person. I also suffer from mild claustrophobia which has worsened with age.
I get very anxious if I feel I can't get away from any potential hazard: I don't like airport buildings or flying much, either.
So, my idea of travel is to drive to a nice hotel, explore the local area, and move on to the next stop. Just Management and me.
We went round one of the Cruise ships in Southampton some years ago, and frankly just wanted to get away.
The longest sea trip I've made was the overnight crossing from Jersey to Portsmouth. That was more than enough.
