gently caress I miss traveling so much, I'd figured out my perfect balance of "must see" sights vs. just wandering around I was all proud because I was visiting at least one new country a year for a while but family biz and then rona [which started like the second the family biz concluded] wrecked all that

my vacations have all been almost the same thing for as long as I have been an adult w a real job: visit someone I already know or go to a state/national park and walk around until I run out of vacation days

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:My understanding of cruises, all-inclusive resorts, disneyland, etc is that you buy a ticket to a mall and everything is set up to get you to spend as much money as possible after they get you into the mall. for cruises there's definitely more of a "you're a cheap jerk" factor. coffee/soft drinks/booze aren't usually included in the price. some cruise ports are ok to just go and walk around for something to do but just as many aren't. you can stay on the boat and get some sun/swim and it's considerably more crowded than a resort. your room is small too. also if the weather sucks it can actually cancel your visit to the cruise port and that's just another "at sea" day.

We did an adults-only all-inclusive resort for our honeymoon and it was fantastic. Yeah the extra poo poo they try to make you do is a hustle but if you can just enjoy each other's company and a shitload of free booze it can be a great time.

Kenny Logins posted:I suppose I feel the same way about gambling on a cruise ship. I think most of them have a casino area except Disney cruises Casinos squick me out, there's something about them that feels cheap and tawdry to me. Now that sports betting is legal here, radio and TV coverage has dropped all pretense that enjoying sports is about sports and made it all about gambling, and that's slowly beating my love of sports out of my head too.

graph posted:never been to one of those whats the deal there's always a buffet restaurant that serves breakfast/lunch/dinner all you can eat. you are always drinking booze. usually it's lowish-quality but you can drink as much as you care to and you don't care because they mix margaritas and w/e with it anyway. the beer is almost always local and not great but comparable to domestic macrobrew. sometimes the pool has a swim up bar where you know there's at least one old guy pissing in the pool at the bar while drinking all day. the beach usually has a bar and sometimes a small grill type restaurant (burgs, fries, hot dogs, sometimes fish). usually there is a sit-down restaurant for supper, you might have only so many reservations you can get there so you're not always there every night. usually it's more fine-dining style but some resorts have multiple so like steakhouse, italian, seafood, etc restaurants to choose from. sometimes room service is free at these resorts too if you're not drinking or eating or swimming the resort will also book tours or activities usually at an added cost. there will usually be a night/dance club that only the drunkest eastern europeans will go to. also every resort has at least one old british couple who stay there for weeks and complain all the time about absolutely everything to no one in particular it wasn't such a bad way to vacation particularly if you just want to zone out and read books and be varying degrees of drunk all the time. once in a while you meet some fun people who are also there and you drink with and talk to them. easy to budget for and very safe if boring

that is definitely my one all-inclusive resort experience to a T. it was fine and i'd do it again, but it's definitely just a very lazy form of vacation, which is nice sometimes. we did go into town and wander around for an afternoon and also went to the tulum ruins, so it wasn't all laying on a beach drinking. just mostly.

the only good thing about resorts is that they're essentially tiny walking only communities and the best thing most people remember about them is how cool it was to have everything in one place

When I would go down to the Tampa area for spring training baseball everyone was shitfaced all the time, dunno if that's a spring training thing or a florida thing. Anna Maria Island bars had happy hours from 2-4 PM and everyone was just completely blasted by lunch.

i would absolutely be an alcoholic if i didn't have the worst alcohol tolerance of anyone i know. not in the sense of being able to keep myself together while under the influence but in the sense of being stuck in bed and vomiting constantly for most of the following day. up to three beers is usually fine, anything more is pushing it. i don't think it's a genetic thing either as nobody else in my family seems to have this problem. anyway that's my alcohol story.
