That's sorta of the point of resorts and cruises.

  And Vegas! The underlying reason all of those things suck. Relevant: David Foster Wallace's "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again." You should read it — it's a hilarious takedown of these sorts of experiences (specifically a 7 day Caribbean cruise).

    My parents have money and love cruises. I don't get it at all. I suppose it's because it's cheap if you know how to hunt down a deal.

    Is it the same as the essay "Shipping Out", that David Foster Wallace published in Harper's Magazine in the mid-90s? https://harpers.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/HarpersMagazine-1996-01-0007859.pdf https://harpers.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/HarpersMagazi...

      Yep! That'd be it.
