Fair. I can understand both the appeal of cruising from city to city on a swimming hotel and the hate from these cities against the ever repeating sudden influx of thousands of tourists with each cruise ship.
I mean... It's probably the laziest form of traveling and contributes the most pollution. I would have no bad feelings against it being banned by more countries.
Never been on a cruise, but you get to travel without leaving your room. Go to bed one night and wake up in a different city the next morning. Unfortunately, sleeping trains are not very common in europe, or somewhat expensive.
Which sucks because trains are cool af and I've always wanted to ride one with a private room. They used to be cheaper than other modes of transportation but I never got around to it. Now they're just as expensive if not more and I missed my chance for cheap train rides ๐
