I Will Never Take A Cruise
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
I had a good time on the two I've been on but the older I get the less it appeals to me.

Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
Never been on one, and never will. Just doesn't appeal to me being trapped, and tied into activities that I really aren't interested in anyway.

There a few that sound cool. The Viking River Cruises, or Alaskan ones. But, yeah. They are way too expensive and I don’t like people enough to be trapped with them.

Sail from San Francisco thru the panama Canal to Miami.
Get of that ship, board another and sail to Europe.

Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
Beware the river cruises. The deeper hulled boats are highly dependent on proper river water levels in order to travel. IIRC VRC has been royally fucked during low water months in Europe being unable to travel while other companies' boats continue to operate with ease. Also, knowing this, the cruise company trip insurance plays fast and loose with that contingency.JMarkJohns wrote:There a few that sound cool. The Viking River Cruises, or Alaskan ones. But, yeah.

IMO you get what you pay for on other types of cruises. We've enjoyed Crystal (http://www.crystalcruises.com" target="_blank) but they are spendy. If food and populations less than that of the Rose Bowl matter to you then you have to pay up for it.

We've been on two cruises. The little three day from San Diego to Ensenada and back and seven day Alaska cruise. Liked them both very much.

Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
There is one thing that will definitely make you loath to take a cruise: read the agreement you have to sign in order to be allowed to board. When a company requires you to release it of any claims as to the seaworthiness of its vessel it forces you to make a pointed choice: who is more deserving of death by keel hauling, the company directors or its lawyers?

Gedoudahere with this BS. I'm cruising from Darwin to Broome in August. Nuttin to do and 10 days to do it in.

Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
My wife and I cruise quite a bit, usually to the Caribbean over Thanksgiving with a group of friends. Went to Alaska this last May and loved it. Cruising the Mediterranean for a couple weeks, leaving in early May. We always do port intensive cruises so we have a stop most days and not stuck onboard day after day after day.

Trumpers love cruises so I anticipate many cruises in the future having massive covid outbreaks.

All non Vaxxed people should get a free cruise together as a way to get us to herd immunity

Thanks Royal Caribbean. I imagine this will really help lift the quarantine requirement for international travelers who fly on airplanes like sane people.

Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
I don't think that's necessarily true. There's a poll on the cruise website Cruise Critic asking if making the proof of vaccination mandatory before passengers are allowed to board. 90% of the respondents said yes. My wife and I cruise and we have many non-Trump friends that cruise too, and we're all vaccinated and would prefer the cruise lines to make vaccinations mandatory. Unfortunately, there's dumbasses like DeSantis that don't believe in it.

Can't imagine being stuck in your cabin for 24 hours a day with your partner and they bring you food to the cabin, esp in an interior cabin.Alieberman wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 10:10 am A Covid outbreak on a cruise ship is literally my worst nightmare.

Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
Maybe I will take a cruise after all.
Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
I know teh board's general idea on cruises but we're taking another one anyways. Next summer we're going on a Caribbean cruise on the Norwegian Breakaway with about 20 friends. Departs from Miami and hits Puerto Plata, St. Thomas, Tortola, Great Stirrup Cay, then back to Miami. Should be a good time.

Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
With 20 friends? I'm not even sure I know 20 people.
My wife is trying to talk me into taking the Alaskan cruise for our 40th so I may no longer be 100% against cruises. More like 95% against.

Re: I Will Never Take A Cruise
While you are considering options, consider the Alaska Marine Highway - could take a vehicle and do asome road travel between up-and-back trip. Not a "cruise" per se, but all the ports, and truly great visuals, too

There are horror stories of people who have been kicked off ships in foreign ports or placed on blacklists for violating the cannabis rules, according to the Wall Street Journal, and some told the Journal that they are scared and confused about the crackdown.
