Why do we sometimes allow ourselves this type of vacation, despite the fact that it is a relatively expensive trip?
Firstly, the quality / price ratio is at least an order of magnitude higher than, for example, a road trip.
And this applies to all aspects: hotel, restaurant, transport, and so on.
Secondly, you get a package of services, as they say - in one vessel.
I would also like to draw attention to such a characteristic: the ratio of the number of passengers to the number of crew.
On the ship we sailed this year, this ratio was very good: 2.31 - the lower the better.
And one more thing: on what trip did you show off in such an outfit - a tuxedo or a suit?
Of course, on a cruise!
