To each his own, but a cruise is my idea of hell. Those massive ships look like prisons and , pound to a penny , I'd end up with some weirdo stalking me wherever I went.
I'm with you on the toothpaste and why can't they sell it in bigger tubes? Anything that seems worth buying comes in half the volume of the stuff that makes you look like Shaun Ryder within a few months. It's like razors, stop adding extra blades and just make one blade do the job properly.
Just came home from walking the family to find someone's cat staking out the bird box by the garage. A blue tit has been using it for roosting all winter and the cat obviously knows to hang around at dusk to wait for it. There's been marked drop in voles and mice in the garden too so I suspect it's sneaking around more than I know about.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

A cousin of mine went on one of the major cruise lines and has vowed never to do it again. Huge queues for everything, fixed meal times and and told the performance time you have to attend for various shows on board. One show was at the same time as their meal and when they tried to change it the basic answer was "Tough. That's the time you have been allocated". They said they loved the places they visited, which was what made the cruise just bearable.
Friends of ours went on a cruise, thought it would be restfull😱 She said first day, lovely there’s a shopping mall, she bought some clothes, had her hair and nails done, next day she was ready to come home, said she was bored sick.

Crusies are my idea of Hell too [along with theme parks] Stuck in a space with loads of other people I don't know and probably have nothing in common with, 'entertainment' laid on, and no chance of escaping as I cant swim
Having said that, I can understand why other people like them. Food and drink on tap, no need to drive, and no hanging around airports waiting to fly somewhere etc etc.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Leaving aside the basic fact that I get terribly seasick, so anything involving a boat will never be relaxing for me, I can understand the appeal of watching the scenery change as you float serenely by. I rather doubt that's actually what it's like - or not the sort I could afford, anyway. My aunt went on a cruise around Norway and absolutely loved it. But that was an expensive trip. OH has an assortment of relatives who all go on at least one cruise a year - they all always come back with some disease or other. OH did ask his aunt why she was so fond of spending her holidays in a floating petri dish. I think that was after one of the trips when they weren't allowed to dock in quite a few places on the schedule because they had some sort of virus outbreak on board.

Never appealed to me either, but who knows?
