Apart from the terrible environmental effects, they're a blast. I'm not in for slides and shit, but the full experience is generally really enjoyable. If you like to travel, it's also a good way to trial destinations before committing to a long vacation somewhere.

Trial what destinations exactly? Arrive at Island port. Hecklers everywhere. Arrive at next Island. More hecklers. Rinse and repeat.

"Damn, I had a blast!"

I'm telling you, a Euro-trip on rail will net you more adventure and better pacing with vastly more interesting destination. Possibly even comfort, if you take sleeper trains.

I'm hoping they'll ban these cruise ships from the Mediterranean altogether.

What is a heckler? Like the people who interrupt stand ups? I went on two cruises with my family when I was a kid. And I can assure you the only stand-up anyone experiences is on the ship in between ports.

I think they're referring to hawkers, or people on the streets harassing you to buy something. I don't know why everyone here is calling them hecklers and not confused by that.

And coming from a well off family, why is it wrong for me to buy stuff?

Not saying that is the argument you're making/defending. Just don't see a problem with helping people out.

I was just explaining a misunderstanding, that being heckler vs hawker... I think you've replied to the wrong comment?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think I did too. Please accept my apologies!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not wrong, but a lot of people hate being harassed until they buy something.
