The last one I was on was about 8 or 9 years ago. It was a ginormous Carnival ship, supposedly with the best stabilizers. When we hit a bad storm passengers got sick. Some of them were just expecting too and so they did, others tried but couldn't manage to stay upright.

Cruises are great. Even me, who hates the water and has never set foot in the pool where I live, loves being on a cruise ship. But if you get sick I can imagine why you wouldn't want to go through that ever again.



I was very timid the first cruise i took as I always got desperately sea sick. I have taken several cruises and never had a problem. Part of it is the size as it takes a lot to make them roll and they also make great effort to avoid bad weather.
It is a great way to travel for me. You only unpack once. Went to the Mediterranean this past spring and it was truly the trip of a lifetime. we went with friends and the four of us hired private tours, which worked out cheaper than the ship offer tours, and included more plus for me much less walking as we got dropped of right at the door or entrance of where we were going. Also avoided the lines at the Vatican. It was early may so the weather was perfect. Going into Venice and up the grand canal was really an experience.

I celebrated my 65th birthday in a gondola on the grand canal and had a chorus of Gondoliers sing happy birthday to me. What fun!

What a wonderful way to celebrate. I love Venice. we had two stops in Turkey, three in Italy, 2 in Greece, 1 in France and the ship left from Barcelona so we went to Barcelona for a couple of days beforehand. That food market is amazing.
