I've cruised over 40 times on about 10 different cruise lines and cruising is my favorite form of travel. Here are my top 10 reasons for taking a cruise: 1. Someone else drives 2. Someone else cooks 3. Someone else cleans 4. You only unpack once 5. You usually get 3-5 locations for the price of one and this is a great way to get a "taste" of what the area has to offer 6. You can make many decisions or none at all--and you are always right 7. Being on or near water and sea air can be very calming or give you a sense of adventure! 8. The likelihood of becoming ill from water or food is very slim 9. You can experiment with new and perhaps unusual food, drinks and activities 10. Your travel budget is easier to manage. Have Fun and Travel Safe!
