Cruise part 6

I came home from the cruise Monday night. It was amazing. There's nothing else to say.

Actually, there's plenty more to say about it. I've already started to write about the trip. Technically, I started writing before I even boarded the ship. I think I might end up with another short book like I did with Bali, or maybe not. It's too soon to say, but I started writing before I even went on the cruise, as if there would be a book someday. Actually taking the cruise helped me fill in the gaps.

I highly recommend taking a cruise if you ever get the chance. It's not the best way to see places. Most cruises only dock in a city for about ten hours. Imagine going to Paris for ten hours. You would learn nothing. Some people come to Hong Kong for ten hours and think they know something about the city. They don't. But a cruise is a great way to have a relaxing vacation. It's like being in a four or five star hotel that always has great views and all the food you can eat. And the hotel moves around from city to city. The people who work on cruise ships are far more attentive than people who work in hotels, at least in my experience. I don't stay at the Four Seasons or any of those hotels with private butlers. On a cruise, you are in a fancy hotel, even if you have the cheapest room. People who go on cruises want to be pampered and cruise crews make sure everyone wants to come back for more.

  1. Awesome, glad you had a great time :) I got your last book but just wondering as a writer - did you manage to make much money from it? Or is it better to just blog it here and get more readers/ad revenue if u added ads?

    1. I make very little money from my book, but I don't have any ads on my blog, so I don't make any money from it.

      I think if you want to make money, writing a book or a blog isn't the way to go. Those are things people should do because they want to do them, not because of money.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
