I went on a cruise once ; 112,000 miles,visiting Capetown (twice)The Maldives,Singapore (twice),Aden,Hong Kong ,Australia,The Cocos Islands,Gibraltar ,Edinburgh,and The Arctic. Beer (mainly Tiger or San Miguel) was VERY cheap,and the Rum was free !! Food was excellent (and also free) but there were NO womenz ,'cept in said Singapore,Hong Kong and (oddly) Edinburgh ! Would I do it again ?? Yep, tomorrow if I could !
      PS it was a bit noisy sometimes ,as aeroplanes kept landing on the promenade deck !
