A Real Blues Cruise

Didn't Mark Twain say something along the line of "being on a cruise ship is like being in prison, but with the risk of drowning?"

I have zero interest in a cruise but the music, man the music. 44 years ago I spent part of a winter on the island of Aegina in Greece. All the hotels were closed up for winter except one. Very sleepy, peaceful, beautiful place. Once a week a cruise ship would stop for a couple of hours. The place went insane. All the closed restaurants and shops opened. The price of everything quadrupled. There were people everywhere. I dreaded the days when the cruise ship showed up. I said to myself that I would never be one of those cruise ship passengers. I’ve mellowed my views since then but it is still something that doesn’t really interest me.
