I was not being rude . I was stating a question on why people cruise. I do it for relaxation , to see different countries and enjoy being at sea. The food ,as long as it is good (which the buffet is), is not my reason for cruising, nor am I bothered for five minutes of hustle and bustle out of a whole day. As you say, and I have said also, each to their own but the original I replied to was rather snobby in their reference to a 'cafeteria'.
