yeah, I'm not a fan of seafood.
Was watching some travel videos, not sure if what's available or just their tastes. I know some people love to try tons of new foods too as part of the experience.
Knowing me I'd probably go halfway around the globe and visit McDonald's for some McNuggets. I know Egypt has them. but I wonder about the language barrier when ordering too... I think in some touristy areas though at least one worker would know some English as a pretty common language.
But I guess at the end of the day get back to your ship with your room, same toilet, etc. However, I wonder if world cruises change up their menu as they sail or if the buffet would always have similar food... I'd think a cruise leaving America and returning for half a year would probably still serve up some American styled food while in China for example... but I think they might also offer some more local styled dishes.
Maybe someday if I get lucky in tech as those types of cruises cost about the price of a new luxury car. I know through a half a year cruise, probably a lot of Visas and I think you need a yellow fever vaccine depending on the ports. but I guess if you have that kind of money to go on one, probably someone to advice you. But I've never been a cruise anyways, so probably go on a few ones around the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico as that is pretty common from the US. Also interested in an Alaska, Canadian New England ones first to see how I like them... and then if going on a world cruise check out the same line on a shorter cruise once or twice before committing to something that huge. Be like a once in a lifetime experience though. There's even some that go to Antarctica. Mediterranean ones in Europe. Also seen some that go around Washington State, Oregon and California too.
Always been interested in cruises and traveling more though, but feel like it'd be the perfect style of travel. I think if I hit it big I'd probably just sail full time for a few years, then RV across the US. Be an interesting alternative lifestyle. I know my family is against this idea though, but I think it's because people judge small little snippets of what they see on TV. Sure bad parts of Mexico and crime, but I think if you stick to touristy areas and be careful you'd be alright. So much fear mongering on television.
Speaking of television. I remember when the travel channel used to actually be about travel. Now it's just back to back marathons of ghost hunting shows it seems.
- rawrfml 7y agoI did a lot of travelling in Europe earlier in the year, and had McDonald's in a lot of different cities in different countries. What really helped were the automatic digital kiosks that you can just order from (without talking to a cashier). They had the official languages of the country, plus always English as an option so you'd always be able to use the machine. You get assigned a number and then just wait for your number to pop up - no conversation at all except a little thank you when you pick up your food. I'm also really interested in renting an RV and just driving across the US. Seems like a relaxed way to travel.
