Another cruise ship full of puke. http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/30/travel/princess-cruises-illness/index.html?hpt=hp_t2I have never been on a cruise. I just don't like the idea of not having the option to do what I want when I am on vacation. Plus this is two incidents in a week! It's not like these are isolated incidents either. To each their own, but cruises are not for me.  4951

I went on a cruise 12ish years ago. It was great then but cruise ships were held at a higher standard back then I guess. After all of the problems cruise ships have had in the past few years, the past 2 to be more specific, it is BEYOND ME why anyone would go on a cruise these days. Puking, backed up sewage, being stranded, getting sick, etc. is just not my idea of a vacation. I'll pass. 4951

I have been on four cruises in the past.  They were a lot of fun but you did not hear about all of these problems that you hear now.  Now, I would have no desire to go on a cruise.  No thanks!  I do not want to be a victim of vomiting, diarrhea, no power on the ship, capsized ship.  I remember my mil went on a cruise one time and ended in the infirmary vomiting.  It cost her an extra $1,000 for that trip. 4951

It's gonna be so cheap, even tho it isn't my idea of a perfect vacation, I might be tempted. I just don't want the friggin thing to sink and go out in the cold dark sea as shark chum. 4951

My parents and 4 of their friends were on that trip. They said it spread so fast that someone had to have come on the ship already sick. One of their friends had to stay in her room from Monday night to Thursday evening. Her husband ended up catching it last night. I picked them up from the terminal and he looked so awful. I would still go on a cruise though. I love them. 4951

@maven: I hope they feel better!So, puke and other pleasantries aside, what is so great about a cruises, anyway? I am a cruise virgin but I just can't get around not having the flexibility to just go out and do something different here and there.
