Other one is the Alaskan cruise. Brother just did this one. Had a ball, best ever he reckons.

Only one people complain about is anything off WA, to bouncy in Indian Ocean, even the cruise ship crews dont like it Next door went with his wife and three sons, tried to get off at Broome due to them all suffering

Any horror or awesome tales?

Titanic and more recently, Costa Concordia.

now that's the funniest thing I've read flysurf.

you bang on about the NWO, globalization, terrorism and post videos from organisations that support Marxist politics and far left ideology.

but you holiday on a cruise ship.

the ultimate symbol of globalization and capitalism.

lol.

I dunno,

is it a conspiracy

I couldn't imagine anything more mind numbing than a cruise.
Stuck on a boat, only able to hammer around the selected harbour towns for a few hours and doing all the stuff i could normally do at home.

I can.

Imagine being stuck on a cruise with someone who endlessly drones on about conspiracies, 9/11, American/Israeli plot to take over the world, etc.

I'm sure I would stick a fork in my ears to end it all.

But I was looking forward to our cruise

I've heard very mixed reviews, and as usual it all depends on how much money you are willing to spend.

Glowing reviews from people that have been on similar ones to FlySurfer's. Rather than packing your bags and traveling every few days the hotel you are staying in moves around instead. It's super easy.

At the other end of the spectrum I have a colleague that is, frankly the biggest tight arse imagineable, so he took his family on one of the cruises that are not unlike a mega booze cruise.

First the kids got sick, which they first noticed at the dinner table when they projectile vomited all over the shop. Crew members in bio suits came in to clean it up. Then his wife became sick too leaving him practically alone on a boat for a few days (maybe a good thing).

They didn't make New Caledonia because of a cyclone.

Thinking he'd avoided the virus he started feeling queasy disembarking. By the time he was on the bus to the carpark it was all over rover and he had to push his way to the front to get out and spew. The next thing he remembers is waking up at home with the ambulance guy shining a light in his eyes and asking him if he knew where he was. He reckons his prostrate issues started after that.

The thing about cruise boats is there are constantly thousands of people on board a mostly enclosed, air-conditioned vessel. And when they get off a few thousand more immediately get on. They are breeding grounds for all sorts of exotic, microscopic life forms.

No... engine room is 2nd floor near the back, and sound proofed

I wish I had just enough money to buy one of those nuclear submarine, engage a crew and sink all those useless floating buildings...

You should hang out with

single malts... so long as there is plenty of ginger ale.

looks nice flysurfer

Some of the ports...



Venice...


Dining room...

What I like about the dining room is that with the correct view you get to see the horizon go up up up, and then watch the horizon go down down down..

I'm glad I don't get sea sick, but it was interesting watching people learn to walk when the seas are rough. Its like they/you take a step but don't actually put your foot down until the very last second as the boat is moving so much.

Anyway, I think cruises are fantastic. Its a great way to travel without traveling. If you like to drink, eat, even watch movies, there are heaps of things to do on board.
