On one of our latest cruises, to the Caribbean, we met a friendly young couple from California. They'd flown to Florida on the dreaded "red-eye" and were in the process of enjoying their first Royal Caribbean cruise, on Allure of the Seas.
During a shore excursion in Jamaica, being friendly, they'd met some other passengers. After parting, they overheard a woman they'd just met say this:
"Why would they come all the way here from California? Don't they have their own cruises?"
