Mine are tight! So an off season cruise while they move the boat to around, with guest speakers, is exactly the type of thing they did at the beginning of their retirement. They have learnt that cheap doesn’t mean value for money! I think they’ve realised to be selective and that means paying more sometimes.
They enjoy cruise and I know many people do!
The tales of norovirus, deep cleaning when areas become ill, coupled with canteen style food where quantity is more important than quality. It’s not for me- but maybe when I’m 75. Never say never.
