Why People Love/hate Luxury Cruises
Luxury cruises have definitely many lovers as well as others who just hate them. The ones who claim to hate them haven’t necessarily tried one and their have a rather stereotypical opinion. Because the industry was created and reached its heyday during the first half of the twentieth century that doesn’t mean that they belong to the past. Some of the big names included the Titanic, which was sunk in 1912, the Britannic which was sunk in Greece in 1916 and so many more. Most of them had a tragic end and that is that thrilled many people and made those boats mythical.
Watching the Titanic when I was still a teenager I was amazed by the size, wealth and all that incredible amount of money spent for the construction of a luxurious boat, which was meant to be unsinkable. My relatives who had immigrated to the United States were visiting us in England almost every summer, always in a cruise as they didn’t want to risk getting in a plane. They seemed to enjoy it so much talking about those cruises that we didn’t have much chance to interrupt them and talk about our things.
The romance, is a large part of the reason that luxury cruises appeal to so many people. After so many Hollywood made cruise films it seems extraordinary if anyone will ever get in a cruise without falling in love with that beautiful and aristocratic man/woman. I was never realistic about participating in any of those 5 star cruises my relatives were talking about. They seemed so happy each time they were talking about those unforgettable Silversea cruises or those Oceania cruises that my parents were always very jealous.
After I actually tried a luxury cruise with the whole family I completely changed my mind about them and a value them really high. I definitely recommend it to all open minded people and those who like having their own experience before making any judgments.
