There are also cruises up the coast of Alaska.

That's what I've been on, part of the coast of Alaska. It was terrific! Highly recommend. [Not the ferry, the other one. The ferry cruise was very very different and not a normal thing - still an enjoyable experience but just not in the same ballpark or league or whatever] I've wanted to do a Mississippi river cruise for forever, ideally on a paddlewheel boat. Or, you know, raft because I am impractically romantic like that. As a child in Baton Rouge I saw a play put on by a theater troupe that reportedly was traveling down the river by raft between shows and that made quite an impression.

I've been invited to a "house party with ecstatic dancing."
I am *fascinated*, and you have to give us a full report.

Is the ecstatic dancing required? That *is* intriguing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I believe that ecstatic dancing can't really share space with other activities. In the before times, there was a weekly aession at the local theatre. My impression was that it was a lot of close proximity to sweaty bodies. Since we have an over-abundance of hippies, the bodies in question tended to have an un-viking-like relationship to regular hygiene and bathing.

I guess I'm wondering if it is ok to wedge yourself into a corner and not dance if you don't feel moved to

Yeah, I really like to dance, but *ecstatic* dancing? That might be a lot to ask if you're not in the right brainspace.

This made me chuckle. I haven't come across this many examples before.

I've been a quite a few cruises. Almost all of them working on designing shows and things like that, but still I think around 60 of them total. Mostly all around the Caribbean, but also an Atlantic Crossing, the Mediterranean Sea, Alaska, and the Mexican Riviera. I enjoy them. It's basically a giant floating luxury resort and you wake up in a new city each day. You really only have enough time in each port to get a sampler sized taste of it though. I think that's the biggest drawback. I find cruises are especially nice when you are going with a group of friends since there's lot of ways you can get together, but also do things that suit each individual.
