Just returned, yesterday, from a great trip aboard the cruise ship
'Disney
Magic'. A great week with stops at Key West, Grand Cayman, Cazumel,
and
Castaway Key, by Abaco Island in the Bahamas.
Norwalk Virus, necrotizing fasciitis, MRSA, colds, influenza...

Sure, I'll take a cruise on a big ship with hundreds of other people
and their rug rats that I don't know on your recommendation.

Like hell I will. :)

Ditto. As an aging baby boomer I cannot imagine wanting to take a
cruise
aboard a ship filled with snot nosed screaming spoiled
brats........grandkids or not.

I shudder every time we go out for dinner to find us next to a cheap
skate
family who decided to bring their screaming preschooler with them rather
than hire a baby sitter. Having to endure an entire cruise with that
*atmosphere* is not my cup of tea.

That is the reason why they offer so many different kind of cruises.

They are all death traps.

Nope, not a death trap for most. Boredom trap for a lot of us.


I can honestly say that I was never bored. There were usually too *many*
things going on. I got a lot of enjoyment from a few quiet hours in the
adults-only areas with a good boot. (Whoever recommended Monsarrat's "The
Cruel Sea" did me a great favor." I'll take any other recommendations from
the same author.)

It was funny to watch the people on a Carnival cruise ship docked next to
us at Cozumel. (Did I get the spelling correct, Harry?) When the Disney
Magic docked, dozens of people on the Carnival ship got their cameras to
take pictures of the Disney Magic. I saw not one person on the Disney Magic
take a picture of the Carnival ship.

My wife and I went to that part of Mexico for our honeymoon. We landed
in Cancun, spent a day there, and then took the ferry ride to Cozumel,
where we stayed for two days. Rented scooters. Last season, some
tourists were killed in Cozumel. Hoodlums chased them down, got them off
their scooters, robbed them and then killed them. Scary.

Anyway, after Cozumel, we went to Tulum, and then to Chichen Itza. Great
trip. We spent another day in Cancun upon our return. I wouldn't
recommend Cancun to anyone these days.

Chichen Itza is fantastic. I spent a week in Merida.
