Have you wondered what happens to cruise ships after they go into retirement?

It seems like each year there are brand new ships that are bigger and better than the last. Cruise lines are always looking to add the latest and greatest technology, which leaves older ships to be slowly phased into the background and serve specific markets. 

If you have spent some time on a message board, Facebook group, or chat room dedicated to going on a cruise ship, very likely you have run across a heated exchange between people about some nuance of cruising.

We all love to go on cruises, but our opinions on how to do it best can vary widely, especially when there is a certain level of ambiguity to protocols or rules.

Most of the discussions tend to be tame, but there are a few hot button topics that really get people fired up and it can often lead to page after page of responses, counter responses, and memes inbetween.

Have you seen the couple that created their own cruise experience at home?

David and Norma Trill didn't let the Coronavirus that shut down the entire cruise industry stop them from enjoying what it's like to be on a cruise.

They set up a camera to capture them in front of a widescreen television, dressed in bathrobes and enjoying the recorded footage of the ocean passing them by.
