A few days ago Australia had half a dozen cruises liners off our ports wanting to get in. What to do with them?
The missus and I were discussing this and debating whee to spend 14 days in isolation - cruise liner or a hotel on land?

What say you and why?
 
I don’t see the difference? A cruise liner is a hotel room - except with less medical care, I guess.

I’m really really happy to be exactly where I am. In a town with a population density of 40 people per square mile.
 
Okay, so how is this even a question. A cruise ship's room is on average, half the size of a hotel room.
 
Supplies to ships were problematic and running out. People were fighting on cruise ships over rotten food. So, unless Ginger and Marianne were on board, I'm going with hotel room.

I'd rather spend it at a hotel at Red Mountain in Canada! I'd skin up the mountain and ski down every day. I'd be in heaven.
 
I'm happy enough to be settled in my own home. Tons of books and a decent cable package to keep me distracted from all the actual work I should be doing.

BUT if I had to leave home and be isolated for 2 weeks, I'd pick a nice, well stocked cottage or cabin lakeside. Definitely with hot and cold running water, a decent and well stocked kitchen, some good books, my cameras and cable. Since we're indulging in fantasy.

Since I tend to view cruise ships as floating petri dishes anyway, I wouldn't likely be choosing that. Hotels are not-floating potential petri dishes with at least the illusion that I could leave if I wanted to without having to brave sharks. In either case, I'd have to rely on other people to bring me food and no thanks to that.
 
OK, so I could do that even without it being lake side or with a lake view. But I do like lakeside.

I'd prefer oceanfront. But at least I have this (off my back deck). And when it warms up into the 30s I'll saddle up and ride off into the wilderness for a couple of hours.
Could be worse!

No hurricanes or tsumanis on a lake. Plus, I do enjoy a nice, green forest which is rare for ocean front.
