I wonder why?

I haven't been on a cruise, but in the midwest and east coast, almost everyone who's heard of TV brings up that ugly rumor, laughing and condemning it.

So even though they are "totally IGNORANT of The Villages", they know all about that rumor and mock us for saying how nice it is here.

But it's okay.....leaves more room for open-minded, people who rely on fact, not fiction, to come and enjoy it.
