Going on a cruise is a great idea if you love the idea of enjoying great food, beautiful views, and the gentle rocking of a ship on water.

Truthfully, a good cruise excursion is worth every penny - even if it is pricey.

Most people love to talk about their glamorous travels abroad. They may talk about hiking in the Alps, going on a cruise in the Bahamas, or even just jetsetting off to Tokyo. But, most of the time, you don't really hear people bragging about train rides.
