Cruises are a truly unique intersection of excessive luxury that also generally sucks.
- suyash 3y agoExcessive luxury? Are you serious, any middle class person at least in the west can easily afford a cruise, most only cost few hundred dollars for a few days international trip that has you mostly everything covered with food, lodging etc. I would consider roaming around the world in giant private yacht as luxury if anything.
- zeckalpha 3y agoMiddle class people in the west live a life of luxury by most people's standards.
- ryandrake 3y agoBy that reductive standard, everything and nothing are luxuries, depending on the context. Both OPs said “excessive luxury” and the context is: the regions/economies cruise ships generally operate in; western, developed countries.
- decafninja 3y agoBy that standard, you can say even the working poor in the West live lives of luxury compared to many other countries in the world.
- Spivak 3y agoCruises are by a pure dollar amount one of the cheapest vacations out there which I think is why they're so popular. It costs as much as just the hotel room other places but includes food and all the activities. If you try to go somewhere cheaper like Thailand then it's the flights that get you.
- uxp100 3y agoExcessive luxury. Maybe? Not sure exactly what that means. They’re sort of lower class coded. Not the right type of luxury might be a better description.
