Cruises are a Neat Opportunity
Thursday, March 4th, 2010
Have you ever played the game called “Lies?” Simply put, Lies is a game in which you go to a place where you have never been (and will probably never be again), and pretend that you are someone entirely different from who you actually are. This can be a very fun way to experiment with different ways to handle similar social situations — and if you really want to be strange, you can always try out those ridiculous pick up lines you found online. Or you could just walk around as if you were the king or queen of the world, confidence and power oozing from your every pore, and tell people the stories of your (made up) life to see how they react.
While most of the time this is a bad game to play, there is a time and a place for it. That time and place is on board a cruise ship. If you have ever taken a cruise, you know that it can be an amazing time to essentially be somebody else, if only for a few days. It can be really awesome to see how “the other half” lives. And the other half in question does not have to be the opposite end of the socioeconomic spectrum, either. They can just be “the popular people” or “the lusty people.” Simply take whatever you would generally classify yourself as, and be the polar opposite of that.
This can be an incredible opportunity to learn. And not just about your typical assumptions about life, either. You can try out things socially that you would not dare if there were people you know around. And you can also learn more by watching people interact. So when you shop around for cruise offers, think about what kind of person you might want to be in a far off place.
