Hello and welcome to the travelling introvert. I'm going todo a travel episode. It's been a while, there's some less travelling going on,but I want to talk about cruise ships. I have being on one, I'm contemplatinggoing on another and I have many people asking me and I see a lot of videosalso going on about well, the extroverted people will want to do all thepartying and the introverted people, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blahand generally not covering the information that you want about cruises. What Iwill say is that most cruise lines do what is called sort of traditionaldining, where you are sat at the same table every night with random humans.If that is not something that you are into for variousreasons. I recommend NCL because you can eat at any time and anywhere and orvirgin except for the Korean barbecue place because you can go and eat when youwant. Where you want and you are not forced to sit and socialise with completestrangers who you may or may not like for the duration of your cruise. Onething I will say about cruise ships is there a lot of hidden nooks and crannieswhere you can just sit and read a book and no one will bother you or just watchthe water go by.People may games rooms are extremely popular, definitelymade friends in the games rooms. If you are a solo cruiser, there is a lot ofcruise ships that do solo supplement. There are quite a few that now aren't andare definitely creating environments that are really good for solo.I've got solo surfers in my mind and I know that's not theright word for solo travellers. And one thing that would be great if you justwant to get away and have some peace and quiet, there's definitely the spaoption within a lot of the cruise ships so you can get a day pass and you justgo and you go from hot tub to sauna to steam room to just lounging around andthat's a great recharge thing to do. And there's generally no children allowedin those areas as well. If you are into trying different types of cocktails,that is one huge plus point for maybe all inclusive places, but also on cruiseships because you've already possibly bought a beverage package. You can go andtry things that you wouldn't normally try or you're not sure about or any ofthe above and you can go and sit and have a cocktail or a beverage or trysomething in any way that you want or take it back to your room and enjoy thewater.I highly recommend getting a balcony just because when youwant to recharge, you get to go and you still get to enjoy being outsidewithout necessarily being outside with a bunch of people. Having said that,most cruise ships are large enough that there are little nooks and crannieswhere you can sit and watch the water and not interact with other humans if youdon't need to. But you also have the option of interacting with humans in a waythat you have control over, which is incredibly nice. But being able to try allsorts of food, being able to drink all sorts of drinks and there's games,there's arcades, there's all sorts of things to do when you want to rechargeand be by yourself and there's lots of things to do with other humans. It'skind of like a staycation, but a floating staycation.I've probably talked about staycations before, where youwould go and stay at a hotel, maybe in the town that you live in or maybe thenext town over if you want to get some work done or you just want to rechargeor you just want to treat yourself. And so this is a different version of thatthat just happens to be floating and maybe you get to travel to a couple...
