In Which I Go From Italy To Greece On A 15-Storey Floating Mall, And Become Another Journalist Contemplating Both Cruise Life, And The Genre Of Cruise Writing
On a long trip, I’ve taken a vacation from the vacation. Never a cruise so far, but other easy, comfortable, stationary interludes, often involving a nice location, a swimming pool and several nights in the same bed. It’s a good strategy.
Love this post! Just read it after posting my own experience cruising for the first time. We aren't cruisers either, but ended up enjoying the experience enough to do it again. But we're only into using cruising as transportation at this point. Heading to Argentina in less than a couple of weeks on a cruise ship. So much less traumatic than over 24 hours of flying and just about the same price!
"The people were too loud and too friendly and none of them were neurotic Millennials who enjoyed ranking things, and I am stuck with them and this boat and this 7.5 out of 10 butter chicken buffet dish..."

Great pics.
Justin - Telling stories is your superpower! Lovely to read.

This is poetry.
A great read. Excellent.
A joy to read, Justin. Thanks from the rest of us “plebes” (or just little ‘ol me) for being there to share it with us.
