Cruising is Back in 2022: Curated by TPG Senior Editor, Benet Wilson

Despite growing up watching “The Love Boat” television episodes in the 1970s and ’80s, I never wanted to take a cruise. Thanks to my best friend, I took my first one — reluctantly — in January 2016 and had a wonderful time. Cruise ships can keep you busy from sunrise to the wee hours of the morning, making them a great vacation option, especially since you get a room, dining, nonalcoholic beverages, activities and more. Here are 10 stories that cover cruising from stem to stern.
