Thanks, but we'll pass on that cruise...

We have three cruise ship ports here in New York. Many times a week several of these enormous vessles go out to sea for a few days or a week, turn around in eight hours and set out again. It is astonishing to see. This was going on all through the Recession, ships full of people. How will it be when the recovery is well under way? So we bought stock in Carnival Cruise Lines, which includes half a dozen different lines. The stock is doing nicely despite some mishaps like Costa Concordia and Carnival Triumph. One thing that struck me as truly weird was the fitness area == a whole gym with tread mills and all the rest. Those people bouncing up and down on those contraptions like a gym overlooking Lexingon Avenue paying no attention to the ship or the sea -- weird. But no skin off my nose. If you do take a cruise and you drink a bit budget $100/day/per couple for liwuid refreshment. That inlcudes water in the mini bar. About the only drink I buy is coffee from the coffee shop on the Disney ships. I can't say if they do or don't have an 'exercise' area. Their is a measured jogging route on Deck 4 of the ships I've been on. It's also a great place for walking, which is what most of my exercise on board consists of.
