Dry land
: I used to think that when I got to middle age, I’d enjoy going on cruises. But between the germs and the seven-story waves, I don’t think so. I’m staying on dry land.

Ive never been in a hotel so nice or with people whos company I enjoyed so much that I didnt want to get away from both after about 8 hours. So, why would I want to get stuck on a sea going hotel for two weeks, where the rooms are not as nice as the average motel 6, the people are overstuffed gluttons and the place has all the atmosphere of a large greyhound bus?
The ocean is a dangerous place. Thats what makes it special, not seagoing RV’s full of vacationing gasbags who cant get enough of the midnight buffet. -
i wonder if someone blogged the whole time?

They run into a patch of bad weather on the way home from the cruise, and get refunded 1/2 the cost of the cruise? So do you get money back if your plane runs into turbulance? If your coach gets stuck in traffic?
I’d have thought opening the bar for free drinks was compensation enough, and then something more for the people in the flooded cabins. -
I can’t remember who said/wrote this, but it kept going thru my mind on the first and only cruise I have taken: “Being on a ship at sea is like being in prison, with the added danger of drowning.”

I took a sea cruise once on a troopship to Korea. We went through a nice storm in the North Pacific.4,999 people out of 5000 were seasick all over everything. What a nasty way to get from point A to point B. No thanks, no more sea cruises.
