Oh, me too.
My in-laws love it, but they're heavy travelers. My grandmother when she was with us loved it. Also a heavy traveler. The people that are really into it go multiple times as they make it "cheap" and connect and coordinate with other groups who also go multiple times. That can help costs.
Hub went and he was like eh. I hate the idea of being confined to an amusement park. There's a short period where you visit an island and if you're not back in time, they leave you. When I heard about all the nickel and dining that goes on while you're stuck with them, then it was a hard nope for me. There's a lot of rules that you only find out about after you on board. For example, if you leave your blood pressure machine at home, you have to pay medical $100 just for a simple check. Hub packed a power strip and found out it was a big no no when he got on board. So they took that away as well as his steamer (for clothes). Of course when he got off the boat, he had forgotten about that through the course of being rushed off. And yeah, once you're off the boat, that's it you can't go back in. It wasn't worth much, but just sounds more like stress than vacation. I like peace and quiet and being able to leave and go as I please. Especially minding my own business. The idea of socializing while on guardrails the entire time sounds like high school all over again.
Sorry if I didn't help!
