There is a big difference between traveling on a luxury liner and traveling on a troop ship. Seriously. I cross the North Atlantic 4 time in the 1950's on military ships.

You don't know what you are missing on today's ships. Maybe you just don't like ships. If you can't handle going on the water, I feel for you. Nothing worst than getting sea sick. Fortunately I never had the problem.
