Some people get it instantly.

When you tell them that you’re planning to “take a cruise” on a container ship, they are fascinated and ask if it’s really possible.  But the most common question I have had to date is “why would you do that?  Is it free?”

I was one of those people that got it instantly.  I stumbled across it in google searches trying to find a cruise ship holiday.  I didn’t really want a Cruise Package per se, I just wanted to go somewhere on a really big ship.

I was feeling disheartened though as I compared the options, dates and costs.  An inside cabin, and stuck out at sea surrounded by a thousand people was just not quite hitting the right note.  I just knew if I kept searching I’d stumble across something that appealed.  There would be a destination where I could feel fascinated, and there would be a room where I didn’t feel like a sardine.  It was just the art of finding it.

And then I did.  In the midst of Passenger Cruise Ships I stumbled across Cargo Cruise Ships.  And I was hooked.

I’ve spent a month googling for other blogs with information, and once I’d booked a trip, tracking my ship across the globe.

My ETD is 14 days away and I am excitedly gearing up for a trip where I’m on the ship coming into port –  not watching from a nearby hill
