Bad experiences of a cruise?

[EugeneChien]

I am trying to write a persuasive essay on how a cruise would not be ideal for a grad trip, and since I haven't been on a cruise in nearly 7-8 years, I was wondering if anyone could help me by giving me some ideas to work with.

mass disease outbreaks + pirate attacks + people disappearing without a trace = no fun

pirates, diseases, fires, they sink, people fall overboard, terrorists hijacking

google news cruise and you'll have plenty of info

Read David Foster Wallace's essay "A Supposedly Fun Thing That I Will Never Do Again," published in his book of the same name. Its a great (and funny) critique of the whole cruise mentality.

The other essays in the book are also pretty entertaining.

My cruise was the best experience, EVER.
