Hi Jim,yes i've been on a cruise,at last count 34 I think.
Which cruise lines have you traveled with.
I wouldn't call
crystal,
radisson or
silversea a Butlins trip.If you've been on
isand then yes you could say it's a Butlins holiday.
For me/us I love the fact that I get to kick back on the balcony and relax,watch the sea go by and read a good book,pick up the phone and the butler drops of a beer and a sandwich.
Wake up the next day in a different port with different scenes.
Yes I guess you could say taking a cruise is kind of like going to Butlins,you get to meet new people and make new friends.
The wife loves the spa's and the fact that we don't have to worry about anything,pick up the phone and it's all taken care off.
The food is good,in some cases great even on the main stream lines like Carnival,RCCL and Princess (which IMHO if the ship your on has the Italian resturant try the lasagna,it is probably the best in the world)and they also have the deluxe resturants which for a small fee $10-$30 you will have a 5 star meal.
But what it comes down to is that there are different types of vacations for everyone,while jumpingout of a plane isn't my idea of fun,some people
lunatic love it,the same can be said for Disney World or Butlins,you find what you enjoy and you keep doing it.
