Went on a Holland America Christmas cruise with my soon to be ex boyfriend and his entire family in 2003. Got the Norovirus. Do not recommend.

i’ve seen some stuff about river cruises that tour across europe and they look really cool compared to giant oceangoing hellbarges. but i think they are exclusively for rich people and cost thousands of dollars per person.

Caribbean Ocean Spiders are bred for their union busting skills, to keep the crew in check.

I would not go on a cruise even if it were free and a good package, just sounds miserable. I wouldn't want to go on any boat again really, boats suck. If I ever even see an ocean again it won't be because I went out of my way to do it. A big toilet full of the stinkiest food.

Is there a chance that one of those cruise ships might hit an iceberg? If I start a journal for a nordic cruise or some poo poo that it will sink and in a century or so it could become a new mythology?

Cruising is for deeply lazy people who can't plan a vacation. I am one of those people every other summer.

I think whether people enjoy cruises or not depends on what they expect out of a vacation. When I go on a trip somewhere I enjoy the aspect of finding things to do and usually have a few goals I'd like to accomplish at the destination. For other people a vacation means relaxing and doing very little planning and just decompressing with alcohol and food. Cruises greatly appeal to this latter group. I took a 7 day cruise to Alaska with my mom about 15 years ago and it was alright. The food wasn't that great and the boat kind of sucked but visiting towns and seeing the landscapes was cool. The thing that sucks about the town stops though is they are tourist trappy and they don't give you enough time to explore, I think we got like 6 hours or so per spot.

If you love cruising you can be like the silent solo travel Japan man and cruise for the rest of your life. Silently filming the entry to women's bath and interacting with nobody.

pencilhands posted:Seems like they’re not too expensive and there’s a lot of stuff to do They will add a massive tip onto your bill for both housekeeping and waitstaff. You are never anywhere long enough to really enjoy yourself. Any “swim with [animal]” you go on is going to have a guide who is cruel to animals. If you go on a cruise that shows kids, those kids will be running past your door shrieking at Al hours, day and night. If you are trying to not have a bunch of surprise bills, I would suggest going to a resort. My ex and I did not enjoy the cruise we went on. Aside from the Jamaican weed we bought. Also, since it didn’t click for me until we arrived at the turtle farm, sea turtle farms are actual farms and all of those sea turtles are going to be butchered and eaten. They are also too large to smuggle out. Froghammer posted:They're tailor-designed to vacuum money out of your wallet while also giving you diarrhea Yeah. What froghammer said. Also, if you want to be drink the whole time you are on the boat, be prepared to pay at least 4 times per drink what you would expect to pay in a restaurant for the same drat thing.

I went on exactly one cruise that a family took me on. At this time I was deep in my addiction so I had smuggled on a bunch of of ground up OC 80s (if that tells you when this cruise went down)ask me how  .So basically I was out of my mind on opiates for a week. We stopped in Jamaica and I traded a pair of leather sandals I had for a bunch of pretty decent pot at this hair braiding place..dude was really cool. We ended up talking about the reggae band Third World...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXeY74ttezU I slept with a bunch of women because being that high on both pot and opiates (at that time I had taken a break for a while so I ended up getting way higher on a few lines at a time)...each one got angry at me. It ended up with me having to like dodge around like a secret agent. By the end of it I basically got banned from all family vacations. so Cruises are a land of contrasts.

That man is truly living the dream. That said, I do enjoy cruising. Nothing really to plan, and most things are included. It’s nice to sit on a balcony in the middle of the ocean.

Just book a trip on a fully staffed yacht so you can do whatever you want and have a chef create meals specifically for you and your guests. For an insider's look into this experience, check out the hit show Below Deck.

whiskas posted:Boomer parents just came back from a cruise. Apparently they provided covid tests, and when my dad tested positive and asked what to do to, they said nothing, no need to quarantine. Apparently nobody did anyway, buffets and restaurants were packed with people coughing, clearly sick, the whole boat turned into one giant covid cruise. Then there is my MIL who without fail gets come kind of sickness requiring medical intervention when she returns from every cruise. its funny how even before covid there would be an article every couple weeks "cruise ship stranded with no running water and every passenger making GBS threads their pants"

Some friends convinced my partner and I that the black friday sale last year on cruises was a "good deal" so we put a $200 deposit down on a four day with the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas. Without flight, it'll be something like $1,100 for the two of us - exterior balcony stateroom which seems kind of nice. But it's also like $800 for the all you can drink booze package. Having second thoughts since literally everything is an upsell, which appears to be what a lot of critics here are saying (among other things). Might just take the money and go on an adults only all inclusive for like a week, versus four days on a loving floating Wal Mart.

Today I learned that up until COVID my boss's boss and his wife would take a cruise every year. He said Disney was by far the cleanest and had the fewest cases of gastrointestinal virus outbreaks, likely because they fiercely protect the Disney brand. Pretty sure that guy makes dump trucks of money at this point for attending meetings.

I went on a carribean cruise with college friends and we had a blast. I brought peach vodka and sprite zeros and stayed drunk a lot of the time. Key west was really fun and we went bar hopping and one place had drinks that filled a goldfish bowl. I was in my twenties and skinny so i hooked up with a hot dude. We paid extra for some of the tours but also sometimes just wandered to the beach to chill. Prettiest beach I've ever been to, water was so blue. Being drunk may have clouded my judgement though. I also tried escargot for the first time (it was fine but if you put cardboard in that garlic sauce it would be edible) and i also had fried alligator that was pretty good. I also tried anchovies on pizza and i didn't hate it. Overall, best spring break i ever had. I didn't usually do much for spring break though, usually i would go visit my grandma but this was our last break before graduation so we did something special.
