Book a cruise and you’ll soon be onboard. Once you’re there, how important is it to be online?
On USA Today’s website, we found a comment from a cruiser that read:
“One of the things I appreciated the most about being on a cruise ship was NOT staying connected! I left my laptop at home and only turned the phone on when on land.”
It’s a great theory.
For people like us, writing and uploading blogs every day, it’s impractical. However, for most of us, we have a daily dependency on email and the Internet, not to mention Facebook, Twitter and whatever else has arrived while we slept. We got a joke (yes, by email) the other day that read:
“Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.”
So, hands up…
Could you go on a cruise of one week or more without using a computer or your cel phone?
