Scammers who say they have your search history probably just bought your email from a data breach. Omar Marques/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images Police are warning about a growing number of email "sextortion" scams.

My family sailed on the Wonder of the Seas. Royal Caribbean I thought I hated cruises until I sailed on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas for the first time. The ship was absolutely massive and my family had so many entertainment and food options. I loved not having to worry about what to eat for dinner, and we never felt bored. If you'd asked me just a year ago what I thought of cruises, my answer would have been a resounding "meh."
