ngl i hate the fact that the only practical option for crossing the ocean is planes. Ocean liners are awesome, who fukkin cares if it takes you a few days, I don’t want to be crammed into a tiny seat on a plane, I want to at least have the OPTION of going in a cool boat. More energy efficient too.

Like rn you can find a couple CRUISES but those are expensive as hell and the boat itself is supposed to be the attraction so you’re paying for a ton of extra shit to make it an Experience™ and I don’t like that

There should be ocean liners again, boats that are comfortable but getting you from one place to another is the main point

Your only genuine Ocean Liner option is Queen Mary 2, which is operated by Cunard (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carnival plc) as a cruise ship out of the Bahamas for much of the year, with some occasional stunt ocean travel like round-the-world-in-80-days runs.

Wouldn't surprise me if "more expensive than flying" is inevitable at current fuel prices. The cost of, like, feeding and housing you and staffing the boat can really add up on a long trip.

Only thing I've ever really experienced like this was a three day ferry trip I took through the fjords of Chile (Puerto Natales - Puerto Madryn). It's a basically a huge car ferry that carries a lot of heavy freight to the southern districts of Chile and bills itself as a "hostel on the sea" rather than a cruise, to manage tourist expectations. Incredibly chill and relaxed trip where the only things to really do were make friends, read, watch the scenery go by and wait for meals. 10/10 would do again

I knyow, right??? OwO Cruise ships are ass, ocean liners are made for this sorta thing =w= I don't wanna pay a couple hundred dollars to be sent rocketing across the sky in a cramped seat in an aluminum can, I just wanna take a little week-long trip in my gay little cabin on my big boat qwq 💜
