They say there are certain kinds of travelers, those who love cruises and those who hate them. Count me in the latter. I will also admit at the outset that I’ve never been on a cruise and have vowed never to go on one. However, I have been rightfully asked if I’ve never been on a cruise, how could I dislike them? Easy, as a germaphobe I don’t want to be confined in a boat in the middle of the ocean with a mini horde of people who I don’t know. Now I am aware that one can point out examples of mass congregations that are part of our everyday lives, like conferences and meetings, musical festivals, and sporting events. But these occurrences tend to be singular and I can leave at my discretion.
