Me personally fail to see the fun in spending two weeks on a flying city with shops and shops and shops and more shops and promenades offering more shops and reaching from bow to stern.
If I would consider to make a holiday on the high seas, I would search for an adventure turn on a sailship, at least a very huge yacht. Something liike boarding the gorch fock. but it is unlikely I will ever feel tempted to do even this. Being close to the sea and spend some times in Lübeck and the coast in the Lübeck Bay is good enough for me.  |
Think you pretty much echo my sentiments too.
Modern liners are less ships more floating shopping malls and they look about the same too. The classic liners like the Queen Mary or the Titanic, I could go for but in a choice between a tall sailing ship and a modern liner, the tall ship would win everytime.
