Phone Addiction
The family and I took a cruise over Spring Break and had a blast. Even though I feel a bit out of place in these situations I still had fun.
I was quite impressed by the quality of food, drink, and entertainment on these massive ships that S and I will consider doing another in the future, just sans kids. The kids had an OK time but the oldest spent all of her time drawing and my youngest spent his time in the arcade or between the kid’s pool and the general population pool.
…it’s always a good thing to ‘unplug’ as they say.
The one thing that I noticed on this cruise that really alarmed me was everyone’s phone addiction. There was no Internet for any non-paying mortal, you had to pay up to $30 per day to get it, so we opted not to get it. Since I’m glued to a screen during workdays, it’s always a good thing to ‘unplug’ as they say.
What I took note of was the great percentage of the guests that did buy the $30 a day package just to stay connected.
Drinking and staring at your phone
First, this cruise turned into a booze cruise for the adults. I normally don’t care these type of environments but I had a few drinks as well. The weather was perfect and I was on vacation. The music was playing and people were drinking from the start.
