Cruising

Once only the rich could cruise (on a ship)!  Now with the average cost only (?!) $222 USD PPPD, it is a lot more affordable (Cruise Market Watch).  And CruiseCompete.com can find you cruises under $300 USD!

And we find the bulk or cruisers from North America.  That makes sense with the Caribbean so close. But the world is becoming a cruise destination as some geography research has found.

Not counting canoe trips in my college days, I have only been on one cruise and that was the inside passage from Whittier Alaska to Vancouver, Canada.  A great time and one that I hope to revisit as a form of last chance tourism.
