The pandemic shut down vacation travel for quite a while, and especially shut down cruise ship excursions. But travel is now rebounding and vacations on cruise ships are popular once again. For this week's poll, we ask if you have, or ever would, go on a cruise. Besides voting in the poll, be sure to share your thoughts on cruises, and where you have gone if you have been on any.
