Regarding cruises, resorts, etc.... How much time do you tend to have to explore the area around the resort, or go sight-seeing when the cruise ship stops at a port? I would hate just hanging around a resort or sitting on ship... But, if I could spend time exploring museums, historical sites, taking in the natural scenery, etc., it might make it more interesting for me.
I think it would depend on the MSC & company being evaluated. I escorted a group to Hawaii & my company never did mass bookings with them after that adventure. The company that was in charge of the trip in Hawaii didn't do anything over the top wrong. They just weren't the right fit for our clientele (older, unsophisticated travelers)
My favorite cruises were the smaller, intimate ships. I did a few of what would have been considered mega ships in the 90's. The big ships weren't my cup of tea, because of the amount of passengers. One cruise specifically only had travel agents on it and I was embarrassed by the behavior.
65 pages of reports is easy peasy. Will I say potty words as I write narratives in my cabin while my cruise pal is having big fun?...that's a given. But, I also know that there will be free moments.
If nothing else, I'll have a voice recorder and my video camera. That's more than I had in the 90's and the report for a free cruise was just as long.
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning; the devil shudders...And yells OH #%*+! SHE'S AWAKE!
