We had been on several cruises and we enjoyed hem until we just got tired of 3rd world countries-- beautiful but so devastatingly poor. Also, the last few cruises had a noticeable increase in 400 pound people on scooters and the scooters themselves caused many traffic jams in the common areas. The cruise ships are adding more cabins in the same amount of space (carnival sunshine, for instance is a reconfigured Destiny with a few hundred added cabins).
I cried the first 3 or 4 times we camped, though, lol because there is a learning curve. Now that I am used to it, I love having my own sheets and pillows and bathroom (I used to bring Lysol wipes and before anyone can put anything down in the ship cabin, I would disinfect the whole place). Plus, a few people I know actually started finding bed bugs in their hotel rooms. So disgusting!
We HATE to fly and the last few times I got stuck in Atlanta overnight unexpectedly. The last time I went to visit my friend in New Hampshire, it was literally planes, trains and buses trying to get there because as far as I could get was Boston.
So it looks like RV is a good fit for us. We all like it and it is a healthful vacation with terrific family time. I love riding my adult tricycle around the camgrounds.
The US is so vast and varied that instead of going to 3rd world countries, I'd rather take my kids around the US.
My dad dragged us all over in the wood paneled station wagon when we were growing up, so I find it satisfying that I'm coming back around to this idea.
