Cruise ships

This article is a travel topic.

excerpt:

"Cruise ships are a means of travel with some substantial benefits,

but a few drawbacks too. Some people love them, and some people hate

them, but they're worthy of consideration, especially if you find

other modes of travel too difficult or inconvenient. They make it easy

to visit several places in a single trip without the need to repack

your belongings and sit in a car/train/bus/plane to travel to each

one; your hotel room comes along with you, and even provides the

transportation. You may go to bed in Cabo San Lucas and wake up in

Puerto Vallarta, which is a great convenience and experience, but can

also make it easy to lose a sense of where you are.

Conversely, seeing several islands or cities in a region can help you

decide if and where you'd want to visit later for a longer time..."
