For me, Hell would be an eternity on a cruise ship. I can't think of a more boring experience, less exciting than watching grass grow. I'm glad people enjoy them but it's not for me. When I was facing the military draft my father tried talking me into joining the Navy. He was a merchant seaman during WWII and my grandfather was in the Navy in WWI. When I thought about being trapped on a ship for days and days at a time, I told him there was no way I was going to do it. I want dirt under my feet.
I spent 10 days on a troop ship in 1966 going to Germany with about 1,700 other prisoners, we were called passengers, but it felt like prison. Can you imagine living/sleeping in a compartment with 200 seasick soldiers? It was not pretty! No, I will never go on a ship again.
