cruises are the worst way in the world to travel from one place to another, they're not passenger liners lmao those are gone 4evr

people used to be able to book passage on freighters but i don't know if it's still a thing

still a thing though I think it costs more than it used to. Much like long distance train travel in the US, it takes so long that you end up paying more than the flight would have been (but it comes with lodging, meals and a unique experience)
