The way I see cruising, is that you're kind of sharing your vacation
with a couple thousand other people, almost like taking a bus tour in
Europe but on a larger scale. Sure, everyone has their own agenda, and
there's lots of time to pursue independent interests, activities, etc.
but you're still sharing the space, so you need to take into account
how your behavior will impact your fellow travellers.


In that way, it is little different than vacationing in the
National Forest. Though the square footage of the National
Forest is greater than that (per person), the extent to
which each vacationer could potentially intrude on another
is also greater. Yet, folks share the National Forest, even
though some fish, some hike, some camp, and some just relax.

A cruise is not like an independent travel vacation


I don't think there are many "travel vacations" that are
truly "independent." If anything, one would expect the
aforementioned National Forest vacation to fit into that
category, and of course it does not. Most every vacation
venue is patronized by guests with disparate objectives.

Another example, Walt Disney World in January hosts
honeymooners, Brazilian teens on holiday, young families,
and corporate convention-goers.

With that in mind, being considerate of your fellow cruisers who are
sharing your space is very much like being a good neighbor.


Again, that goes for National Forest vacations and Walt
Disney World vacations too.
