There’s a different kind of serendipity that comes with Cruise vacations as opposed to road tripping, but it’s still very much there. Furthermore, I can’t really have a road trip experience with 16 people in my travel group; If we want to be together, we’ll be stuck, packed into a van. I can have a great cruise experience with a group that size on a cruise or at a resort.

I say this is someone who had taken multiple motorcycle trips across the US. Coast to coast on one of them and another down Baja.



Love to do the motorcycle road trip some day.

But I don't even have 16 friends so that will never be a problem. As the kids left the nest it has become just thew wife and I. We're a duprass.


"I can’t really have a road trip experience with 16 people in my travel group"

Convoys work for this. Perhaps even more fun if they're fun cars with a lower car to passenger ratio.


Convoys have become shit shows more often than not in my experience, but point taken. So many ways to skin the vacation-cat.


Yeah, depends on the people and the quality of the vehicles. Motorcycle trips tend to work well as convoys.


Riding a motorcycle is not a substitute for sitting at a pool or restaurant. It's different.


We're talking about road trips. What are you talking about?


Serendipity on cruises, eh?

The axiom of cruises is: You will never see these people again.


Do people go cruising to make long term friends?


I have plenty of long term friends, but I have never done any activity with the explicit goal of gainng them.

That being said I have made long term friends on cruises.
