There could be several reasons why it seems like everyone you know is going on a cruise:
1. Popularity: Cruises have become an increasingly popular option for vacationing. They offer a range of activities, entertainment options, and dining experiences, and often include several different destinations.
2. Convenience: Cruises are easy and convenient. Accommodation, meals, entertainment, and travel are packed into a single package which minimizes planning and organization.
3. Social Media Effect: The prevalence of social media creates an environment where we constantly see what others are doing, making it seem as though more people are going on cruises than they actually are.
4. Availability of affordable packages: Over time, cruising has become increasingly affordable. Many cruise lines provide a range of pricing options, from ultra-luxury to budget-conscious.
5. Promotions: Cruise lines often have sales or promotions, especially during ‘wave season’ (January-March), which could influence more people to book cruises.
6. Reopening after COVID-19: As travel restrictions are lifted and as cruise lines restart, there might be an increase in numbers of people going on a cruise.
Remember, even if it seems like everyone is going on a cruise, choosing a vacation is a very personal decision and depends on one’s personal interests, budget, and lifestyle.
