As for cruise ships, you can have 'em. For what a ride on one costs, we can have a wonderful vacation anywhere, and be free to do what WE want when we want, eat what we want, and more.

Hmmm. Several years ago, my brother was on a week-long business trip to Florida. He told me that it would have been cheaper for him to walk over to the waterfront and take a weekend cruise than what his company was paying for his hotel room over that weekend.
