You guys aren't thinking about it from a solid engineering perspective. Put a giant human slingshot on one end and a giant net on the other. When things are going fine, it's a fun ride getting slingshotted from one end of the ship to the other. When it turns into a poopcruise, you can turn the slingshot around one one ship, and the net around on another, and fire people from the poopcruise to safety on the second ship.

It's stupid that big ships don't have escape capsules beneath the water line. That way even if the ship capsized and sank people could get to the bottom of the hull into the pods and they would pop to the surface!

In the movie "waterworld", where did all the cruise ships go? they couldn't have just disappeared? I bet there are billionares just off screen on their cruise ships watching the poors fight over cigarettes

I went on a cruise once with my family years and years ago, and even as a 12 year old with the ability to do nothing but drink coke and eat pizza all day every day I remember getting uncomfortable with how wasteful and disgusting it all seemed. I'm sure there are worse excesses of Capitalism, but something about cruises makes it very naked.

It's entirely possible to not pass noro even if you're using the same bathroom!! Just be diligent and bleach everything after you poo poo/vom. Every. Time. Unfortunately it is hard to do that when you're dehydrated and your legs have given out (because of the violent making GBS threads/puking). I got noro last year and managed not to pass it to my partner by just making real drat sure I bleached the bathroom really thoroughly.

If your life is devoid of human contact then you don't get it either. That seems to be working for me.

The comedian Doug Stanhope went on a cruise and decided he'd be hosed if he was paying their prices, so he made a suit with a whole bunch of goon bags full of vodka hidden in the lining. "I looked like a fat gently caress but I had been drinking a lot anyway and my face was bloated so they thought nothing of it and waved me on".
