Now you know why the owners of the cruise ship lines have private yachts.

I love the ocean but could never understand those who what to spend time packed on a cruise ship with thousands of strangers. If I won a berth on one, i'd give it away as never been interested.

fyI: "The average cruise ship can hold around 3,000 passengers. However, this number can vary significantly depending on the size and type of ship, with some mega-ships accommodating over 6,000 passengers."
