“10 things cruise lines won’t tell you
Navigating a sea of potential sickness, danger and debt”

Some of the comments from the readers:

“I avoided cruises for years as some friends of ours, American and Canadian cruise ship employees told us they refer to their passengers as the Newlywed, the Overfed, and the Nearly Dead.  Ha!!  A deft description when it’s all said and done.  Having said that, I was hooked after the first cruise.  The secret is avoiding the cruise lines with the mega ships that cater to the college set.  They’re not cheap, but get on a Regent Seven Seas cruise, and you won’t be disappointed.  The food is superb, there are sit down menus nearly 24×7 and the buffet lines are short and quick.  With cruise lines, you definitely get what you pay for.”

and this one 🙂
