Agree but you can hardly deny that there is a certain element, probably only a minority, that attend cruises who are total idiots.
There is a lot of genuine enthusiasts who attend these things but I cant help but find the whole image trashy and tacky.

are cruises not for mincers that would rather hang around town admiring their cars than actually driving them?
