What type of cruiser are you?

Cruise lines offer luxury, if you are willing to pay. That's one of the nice things about cruising ... there's something available for everyone. Poor graduate students can pay to be served well for a week, and CEOs or other high-rollers can pay obscene amounts to be absolutely pampered.

I was able to cruise in a small suite on the Grandeur ... that was nice. Of course, there was no extra service to go along with this, just a larger room with a huge balcony and a tub. It was a fun experience, and now I know what an aft balcony is like (HOT).

In the future, however, I'm going to be sticking to standard rooms (at least until I get a "real" job ... something I always would have imagined happening by now). I enjoy being on the sea, the open air, and the sound of the waves. I'd rather take two cheap cruises in inside rooms and experience this for 14 days as opposed to 7 days with nicer digs. Maybe this is the first sign of becoming a cruise addict ... only caring that you are on a boat, not which one and not where at.
