Each 4th of July that passes I realize more and more that it’s never been about the fervent shows of patriotism or brave acts of our founding fathers. It’s all about cracking open some crispy boys and thanking our lucky stars to be standing here today.

I'm not a cruise fan.
In my experience ... The food is mediocre. Entertainment isn't memorable. And their sustainability efforts are disappointing. (admittedly I have only been on base-level cruises)
