How to Argue with Your Spouse
It will be interesting to see what the cruise industry looks like a year from now. Between stand-up comedy and my time with Disney I know more than one person for whom the cruise line shutdowns are a serious financial hardship.
In theory, cruises are a great idea. A giant luxury resort that moves from place to place while you sleep, allowing you to see interesting, exotic places.
In practice, I find the “resort” amenity people use most is the buffet, and the unique ports of call are slowly being taken over by the kinds of businesses that do well with cruise ship passengers. So, it can feel more like a giant Golden Corral that travels between interesting, exotic jewelry stores and fridge magnet outlets.
I genuinely hope the industry survives. We just need to make sure that the employees are paid a worthwhile wage and that blatant pollution isn’t built into the system.
