How many of us have taken a cruise? Ooo wee, baby. We have, although we cut it short when we realised that it just wasn’t really our thing, and then we bailed at the first opportunity in Ensenada. This was a decade or more, ago. That’s just fine: two more seats were made available for those waiting in line. Still, after creating loads of posts here on our site, many of which were about cruising, we have to say that when we see what these new some of these new behemoths, we’re not sure whether to be thrilled or to jump off the boat on to the terminal. The allure is real, but what do you really get? Only you know.
So, what if you’re tempted, but just can’t make the psychological leap? Is there any way to come to terms with the outing and the OTT nature of the adventure, especially when you have a ship like Spectrum of the Seas? There more intimate and in-depth exploration of specific regions, focusing on the culture and history of the towns and cities along the river.
It’s less about the ship and more about the places you visit. Choose itineraries with fewer “sea days” and more time spent in port, allowing for extensive exploration ashore. You can also seek out cruises with unusual or exotic destinations that are harder to visit independently. Expedition cruises to places like Antarctica, the Galapagos, or remote parts of Alaska offer a different flavor of travel.
As you might expect. We have another option. Enjoy the ship you like, but in a scaled down way. Our affiliate friends, Klook, have a super meeting of the minds.
