Are you any better than FF for telling people there is something wrong with them for not traveling at your comfort level? Just out of curiosity, is your idea of "ruffing it" going into a town without a 5 star marina ?

I didn't read her response the way you did Ted.
I believe she was simply reacting to the last line of FF's post where he clearly lays out an argument against "modern"...

If he had simply pointed out that some (many???) people cruise without amenities and with satisfaction I'd bet that would have been the end of it. Seems to me he couldn't resist what I refer to as "twisting the knife".
One way or another, it gets a reaction.
That is my read anyway...
