4 Reasons You Should Go On A Cruise

This past January was the first time I have ever set sail on a cruise, and I’ll be honest, I was pretty skeptical at first. How fun could being stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean be? Turns out that a cruise ship is where I had some of the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Now I know that many people have been on cruises themselves, but this was the first time I have ever been on one, and I’ve walked away with some pretty good insights. So here are four reasons, you should go on a cruise.

1. Its’s all-you-can-eat bruh!

If there is one reason you should go on a cruise, it’s to eat your heart out. If you’re anything like me and you live to eat, being on a cruise is like the best death wish. Me and my friends did the all-inclusive trip on the Carnival Triumph, meaning you could eat whatever, whenever. I didn’t understand the true meaning of “bless up” until I saw the ninth deck of our ship. Aside from the three pools, four hot tubs, water slide, giant television screen and two bars, the ninth deck was fitted with all the food you could dream of. There was a cheeseburger bar, a taco/burrito bar, a deli that served as an omelette bar during breakfast, a food bar to create your own Asian food and a buffet line (I just gained two pounds typing all of that up). That doesn’t even include the 24-hour pizza bar and three 24-hour soft serve/frozen yogurt machines. I’ve never known bliss like that in my life. The best part about it all was not having to look at prices. Being able to order food without worrying about how much money you spend is one of the best feelings in the world. After you pay for that all-inclusive ticket, just be prepared to not only gain a great amount of happiness, but a great amount of weight as well. Stay hungry my friends.

2. Cruises can be cheaper than other kinds of vacations

3. Disconnect

4. Explore the world!

Another great part of going on a cruise is getting to see new places. Many cruise lines offer a wide variety of destinations you can choose from. You could find yourself swimming on a nice beach in the Bahamas, or even exploring the beauty of the Mediterranean. Sure, it can be pretty scary leaving the country if it’s not something you’re used to, but going on a cruise is a pretty comfortable way to do so. If seeing the world is something that you want to do, I recommend getting your sea legs ready and setting sail.

Whatever you may think of cruises, I think it’s something everyone should experience at least once in their life. Just make sure you renew your passport! Happy sailing my friends.
