I don't see them advertising it like that.

The table settings might be nicer, but it's still a chowline of people asses-to-elbows.

I guess you guys will have to wait for your first time in jail to spot the differences, if you aren't going to learn from strangers on the Internet

We could make the same dumb jokes about:

Popular restaurants, clubs, sporting events, concerts, movie theaters, stores on Black Friday, etc etc etc.

(Personally, I’ve been on 5 different cruises and they’ve each been among the best vacations of my life. But lol lots of people so they must be just like prisons amirite?)

I don’t live at/in a restaurant, club, sporting event, concert, movie, or store for a week or more.

Perhaps you do. But if you don’t, none of those things are similar to a week-long cruise at all, since you are there for hours and not days.

I don't live asses-to-elbows in line with people for a full week on a cruise ship either. I have a room to myself. What point are you trying to make, exactly?

The room is only for sleeping. Everything else is massive crowded common spaces
