Within minutes of leaving Barcelona, I started learning why so many people enjoy cruising. These new cruise ships go to great lengths to make sure that the onboard entertainment rivals attractions on shore. Along with putt-putt golf, an ice rink, and all the predictable activities, our ship had a new hit: the “FlowRider.”

I was really surprised on our June cruise out of Barcelona how people just jumped right into the activities. Our ship had a whole deck that was a water park. I barely got unpacked and the water part was going wild. It was very hot in that part of the world end of June and it was nice to have air conditioning and water fun. Also really great for families to keep kids busy after some of the all day tours that young people may find a little boring. And also to mention all the kids on the ship were well behaved and very enjoyable to be around. If you keep an open mind, a cruise can be a great benefit from time to time.
Sorry! It gives me the heebie-jeebies. May be fine for some. But the idea of visiting a city in one big whooshing offload of 3,000+ guests is a turn-off for me. Ship activities might be fun, but I would probably say it resembles a theme park more than it resembles travel. But that’s just my opinion. My opinion plus €3 will buy you a cup of coffee.
