Cruisin'

There is one way that my family chooses to vacation, and by vacation, I am defining the word-
Vacation: verb; to relax, and get away from the usual routine of daily life in typically an exotic destination (however type of destination is optional).
Now that technicalities are out of the way, my family chooses cruising as a way of vacationing.  This is for several reasons:
1.)  You can always be in a room that is air conditioned and never have to go outside (unless you choose to).
2.) There is a buffet for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner.
3.) 3 course meals of 4 star dining (complimentary-already paid for).
4.) Trivia in the lounge
5.) Movies playing on the deck.
6.) Towel animals that wait for you on your bed until you arrive after dinner
7.) Napping (best sleep happens with the slight rocking of the boat against the waves).
8.) 24 hour ice cream and frozen yogurt.
9.) There is a gym, convenient if you don't want to come back from vacation with a stowaway in you clothes (10-15 pounds gained in a week).
10.) The people- there is never a sober soul on the ship over the age of 18, and no I do know the drinking age is 21;).  What good is a vacation surrounded by stuffy old farts, people go on a cruise to let loose with a drink in both hands and living out the fantasy of having a life at sea.  Well you know, while being pampered with the spa and everything else.  Room service is amazing as well...
If these ten reasons to choose cruising as your next vacation don't convince you, maybe you should rethink your definition of vacation.
