I know he went when river cruises were becoming a "thing", about 8-10 years ago. I bet the tour lines got the message. He talked like hardly any of them had a walk through. You had to keep walking around the bow or stern.

I could see that if you have to walk all the way around the ship. I liked walking through the lobby. I got to look at the other ships and cruise lines. Avalon's ship designs are more modern/contemporary. The other lines look like your rich grandmother's living room.

I have an uncle that went on one with his wife, when they were about 60. Both are in great shape and active. The enjoyed it, but one thing he said was really annoying was they would tie the cruise barges together, at port, and you would have to crawl over, or through the 4-7 other barges to get to shore.

They do that sometimes but it takes literally 10 seconds to walk through the other lobby. It's not that much of an imposition.

The wife (no pics) found a river cruise in Europe that she wanted to try. I was skeptical because I'm not 85 years old. However, I was wrong.
She found a cruise on Avalon that started in Le Havre and worked its way down the Seine into Paris over an 8 day period. The key here is to find a cruise that labels itself "active" or something. The demo is active retiree types. The other cruise are people that are so old they can barely get on the boat. (True.)
We flew into Paris and spent 4 days there before the cruise line drove us via bus out to Le Havre. (About 2-3 hours.) The first day was a trip out to the Normandy beaches, which was a bucket list trip for me. From there we worked our way down the river with some daily excursions into the various towns. What I liked about the cruise was that once we got on the ship, we were done moving around for 8 days. Basically a floating hotel. Food was great the entire time. People were great, too. We're 50 and while we were still the youngest ones on the ship, everyone was friendly and outgoing.
I'm someone who never wanted to go on a cruise for a whole list of reasons but we really enjoyed the river cruise and wondered if anyone else had done one...?

Whoever is ghost-writing these sucks. That reads very close to how Trump talks. But it’s not at all his written style, which is very different. Dude would never use commas correctly to indicate the pauses in his cadence. And he would never type a phrase like “lo and behold” (much less spell “lo” correctly).
Something weird is going on. Even weirder than the usual bizarre state of affairs in this janky-ass administration.
This. It's the commas and the cadence that's missing. When you read tweets from him, you can hear his voice. Hell, Gavin Newsom's troll team can write Trump better than Trump's team.
