The Pros and Cons of Going on a Cruise

The Pros and Cons of Going on a Cruise

Cruises have become one of my favourite ways to travel. I have been on six of them and planning to go on way more as I get older. I used to think that cruises was for “old” people (i.e. above 65 years old) and growing up in the 90s, I had the “Titanic” fear. However, much of my previous impression of cruises has changed over the years. Below are my personal top pros and cons of cruising.

Rundown of Royal Caribbean for Canadians (updated December 27, 2019)

I recently took a cruise with Royal Caribbean and posted my thoughts about reasons to take a cruise (and not). Also, I haven’t written an update on Royal Caribbean since 2014, so I think I am way overdue for an update.

This post will focus on Royal Caribbean’s operations in Canada and its Crown & Anchor loyalty program.

Reasons to go on a Cruise

I know it has been a while since I last posted. Part of the reason was because I was on a cruise and I’m not about to pay for the high priced Internet usage fee. Also, I love the part where I can disconnect to refresh my brain. So this post is going to focus on reasons to go on a cruise. 

But first, let’s just get this out of the way. I last posted my Thoughts About Cruises 3 years ago, in that post, I listed the reasons to not go on a cruise. So below is a quick update on that list.
