Has anyone been on one of these cruises ? How was it ??

go read David Foster Wallace's essay A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again. you'll get a good look at luxury cruises with a discerning eye. and a good laugh.

here is a link to a webpage that has a review and some info on the essay. i can't find a link to the essay itself, but the book is totally worth a read, if you're into that kind of stuff. i wish i could just lend it to you. if you have a keen sense of the irony of luxury, and any notion of a sense of highbrow humor at all, i gurantee you'll like this book. also, DFW's opus Infinite Jest, a behemoth 1100+ paged novel is well worth the read. i've read it through twice so far, and i'll probably read it again. some real fun stuff.
