[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764710, member: 18958"] I want to take a container ship cruise. There was a time when I wanted to make it a lifestyle. A container ship cruise is on a freighter. They are allowed to carry up to 12 passengers. The limit is because, over that amount of people, you need a doctor on board--or at least I think that is the case. You eat with the ship officers. There is no entertainment. It is very, very casual. The advantage to the freighter company to have passengers is that they can go to the head of the line entering ports, or going through the Suez Canal or the like. These cruises can be very cheap for what they include. From what I read they are very relaxing, calming, and peaceful, and a very interesting kind of person is attracted to this kind of cruise. My problem is this. You have to be able to climb up the gangplank and these ships can be many, many stories high. I am afraid of heights. Another problem is you have to be able to have the capacity to carry your bags up with you. I don't think I have that stamina anymore. It was a big dream of mine I think almost all the companies that do this are international, but they stop at US Ports like Houston Oakland or LA. I am very adventurous. But now that I am older it's hard to deal with my limitations. Maybe you can go!! [/QUOTE]
