They creep me out and I cannot imagine paying money to have them all around me - but everyone seems gaga over them.
What am I missing?
I get that they are "in their natural habitat" but they are CREEPY!!! I don't mind LOOKING at them - but the idea of those things all around me... No!!!
I love animals, but I'm not seeking out snakes or alligators and such to play with them either. EW!!!!
Oh well... Anyone on a cruise with me can rest assured I will NOT be fighting anyone for a spot with those things.
I don't think they're creepy at all, we find them fascinating. They don't bite nor would they try to eat you (like your gator or snake example). Some people might think turtles are ugly, I guess it's in the eye of the beholder. They are rubbery and slippery but I think dolphins are too. I grew up with a true love of the ocean and its inhabitants; when I heard about sting ray city and being able to swim with them, there was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity, esp since we don't agree with the dolphin encounters we've seen offered. One of our daughters shares your opinion, btw, and chose to relax back on the boat instead! Luckily for her, our excursion also included awesome snorkeling!

I DO love the ocean and its inhabitants. Stayed up until 3am once to watch a nest of loggerhead turtles boil. I just don't get the appeal of getting in the water with flappy things with whips coming out of their butts swimming all around you. LOL.
Why do people like mushrooms? I think they're disgusting
I love stingrays. But I find their capacity for learning and interaction fascinating. I wouldn't try to convince you to like it because I completely understand that once something creeps you out it's game over.
So, @Dug720 , you wouldn't be interested in this kind of encounter? View attachment 223515
