Cruise discussion - ex BP's MIA

Hey now! I really don't need to see some old boomer's Man Boobs!
Cinci...they're taking the late 20s/early 30s girlfriend on the cruise with two of her friends. One or two nights of 3 on 1s and they're dead. Burial at sea saves a fortune on cremation/burial expenses back home. It's a win-win.

Edit: What? This is fight club, right? Right?

Generally the only people that say they don't like cruises.. have never been on a cruise
On a cruise, you will find the majority have been on multiple cruises and some in the double digits
The number of international folks you meet, especially on USA originated cruises.. is very interesting..
I have met many Australians on cruises
My biggest disappointment are the pools... disgusting... and the urine smell
My biggest surprise... once you get into international waters... the tops come off
I'd go stir crazy on a cruise. When I was a kid we used to fish off of the barge out of Redondo Beach. That was fun and you were back on land in a couple of hours. I saw a few sharks get reeled in.

@DubCoffman62 you're validating my point about people who were never on a cruise
Generally, during the majority of a day, you're docked so you do whatever you want... stay on the ship, gamble, go eat, sit at a pool, read a book, go drink, go to the gym.. or head off the ship to do whatever
Mid to late afternoon you return to the ship... in time to eat dinner.. followed by hordes of deserts, ice cream, etc...that goes on till midnight
or go drink, gamble or head to the night club or comedy show
But the ship travels to the next destination from this time until you wake up.. in your next destination
Wake up, you're in Cancun.. end of day.. ship moves.. wake up in Jamaica.. end of day.. ship moves.. wake up in Cayman Islands... and on and on
If you go stir crazy on a cruise... you can only blame yourself
If your perception is that the sun is blazing, it's hot and you're only staring at the sea all day... you haven't been on a cruise

Well that doesn't sound bad. I though that you were pretty much at sea most of the time. All of what I know about cruises is pretty much from watching The Love Boat. That and seeing pictures of my friends and relatives in tourist traps. I like to walk cities. I've walked most of London, Paris and New York (Manhattan) and eat at local holes in the walls. I'll never forget , one time walked into a bistro in Paris in the Luxembourg Park area and there's this guy sitting at a table smoking a cigarette, reading a paper with a dog laying at his feet. I sat down, some woman took my order (I ordered beef taretar (made me laugh, the bread they served with it looked like Wonder bread) and the guy that was smoking and reading the paper got up and made my order. Another time in NYC I walked into this place in SoHo and they sat me in a corner and no one ever came by to take my order or say hello. I guess they didn't think I fit in. I pent a lot of time alone on my trips with my wife. She's the kind that enters a museum as soon as it opens and they have to kick her out at night. She can spend 15 minutes staring at an old piece of cloth :lol:

Rome, Naples, Venice are wonderful... and note worthy... but to walk thru Italian towns that you never heard of.. and see what the people are like, how they live and exist... that has stayed with me moreso than the Florences.. I do like a good museum tho... kids get mad at me.. "Dad, they are not going to test you.. you don't need a 93 for them to let you out". Me and an older sis were at breakfast in S Italy.. we had the menus.. I said "I;m dyin for eggs" which aren't on the menu.. She said "ask". I did and waitress says "we have them but how do you want them done because no one ever orders eggs".. well, nuf said, still did it... but the view was out of this world and that waitress had staples in her navel... gorgeous

The scariest town I ever walked/drove through was Birmingham UK. I decided to walk to the Jewellry Quarter from the Bullring not realizing what sketchy neighborhoods existed there. Got lost trying to find my way back too. European towns aren't laid out like towns here and it's very easy to get lost. I tried driving through Birmingham without GPS, found myself in the middle of little Pakistan which wasn't fun either. One summer my wife and I rented a car and hit every mayor stop in England from Brighton to York, There's there really depressing places over there that you'd never think existed. Somerset was my favorite, it was like being in the shire in LOTR. Colombia is hands down the most schizo country I've ever been in, Shit can get real in the blink of the eyes down there.
