Well, partly, my husband is in a wheelchair, so we get to travel easily.i work as a tour guide (when there's no rona of course) and i live in a city that is a very popular cruise destination
i've always wondered: what is it that you love so much about cruising? i don't understand it
Lols! It's not for everyone. Honestly though, the ships are so well laid out it doesn't feel like you are on it with thousands of other people (other than embarking on the first day when it is really busy and feels a bit much). You'd be surprised at how often you see the same people and the crew are do lovely and really want to look after you. Admittedly we may stand out a little, with husband being in a wheelchair, but regularly have our cabin number remembered, where in the restaurant we want to sit, what we like to drink and at what time of day. It's impressive.Couldn’t think of anything worse.
I mean, if someone kindly gifted me one, I wouldn’t say no, but the thought of being stuck on a boat sends me cray. All those people. All that water. All that travel for a day. No thank you.
We've been on NOTS and really didn't rate it vs P&O. I didn't like the Promenade, felt too enclosed. I prefer to be able to sit by a window.Been on a total of 14 cruises since 2009. All with Royal Caribbean (the best line!) on 10 different ships. Royal has the biggest ships so it is a fantastic time. Plenty to do, different ports, at sea days. The chance to have decent food, the pool, relaxing. What else do you need that isn't on a large ship?
I really love the cruising experience and can't wait until I can go back again. Sadly an industry that really has no way to safely work around COVID so I don't see me going on one this year.
I'm assuming NOTS is Navigator? Not been on her but have done similar size ships and can see why it would be a bit enclosed. I think that the Oasis Class ships are the best ones but yeah, they have only made a few visits to Southampton over the years. Oasis Class have the most to do and have an unusual yet amazing design that makes it feel open and they aren't ships which suffer from crowding. Aside from the Promenade, they have a Boardwalk with an AquaTheater at the back and then a Central Park which are obviously much less enclosed.We've been on NOTS and really didn't rate it vs P&O.

I figure the bigger ships are probably better, but rarely sail from Southampton.
