After going on more than 50 cruises, there are 4 things I still hate about this type of vacation

I've gone on cruises with all different lines and have had some of the same experiences across the board.

• There are still things I hate about cruises, even after more than 50 sailings.
• Cruises can require lots of planning and limited port time, which kills spontaneity.
• Loyalty programs can make it hard for those of us without status to make reservations.

After more than 50 sailings, it's clear that I love cruises and keep coming back for more.
