    I don't get the appeal of that sort of package. After you strip the marketing off the offer, it turns out they are all long vacation plans only.

    It's for people that can't handle reality.

    And if they can be away for up to four years, and can afford to
    financially, they probably don't have to live in any reality that is
    anything like what most of us have to live in.

    It is probably just for marketing. Someone sees that, thinks they are
    friendly to persons who live in alternate realities, and starts taking
    their more reasonable cruises with their company.

    Imagine being so fragile and emotionally damaged, of not being able to accept the simple results of an election to the point of spending thousands on a cryfest-cruise.

    Yeah, my guess would be that their problems go much deeper than the election results, even if they'd never admit it.

    It's a shame but that is what our Government wants fighting between
    our self. And now that they have lost the half or a little less of
    the black vote and the latino. The only thing they have is keep everyone
    up in arms.

    Well, I really hope that come January the newly-elected will keep promises
    and clean house. Unfortunately its going to be a long road to repair a lot of the damage done to say nothing of half the population up in arms. The damage being the fragile mentality many appear to have.

    I don't think it'll be fisxed in one term, unfortunately. There's decades
    of rot to go through and decades of crap tyo scrape up. It'll be a start though.

    Didn't you all vote Trudeau out of power only to have him pull a fast one
    and manage to remain PM? Or did our media portray that wrong? ;)
