Now - I've only been there a couple of times, so I'm certainly not the expert, but I have had some fairly "typical" experiences....typical that is, of a tourist's point of view, always different from a Resident's. My visits started off mainly from Airports, and I've always regretted that I was never able to take the 4 or 5 days necessary to "hang on to European tradition" with good food, great wines, deck tennis, swimming pools and things all to be found onboard those luxury liners...    but....the price, oh - the price...! Wouldn't have to have been the "Titanic" but something similar would have done me...! I started off in Washington DC, where I saw all those things you're supposed to see, and some you ain't...!    Then - I hopped onto a Greyhound bus, having been advised that -although longer - it would give me the chance to see more, and it WAS cheaper, and I AM a Scotsman by birth! Well - it certainly did that......
