Stuck on a ship for weeks with the kind of people who think a cruise is a good idea of a vacation. That free buffet is pretty much 100% ecoli. You know some cruise ships have turned into overflowing turd buckets? then they drop you off in a 3rd world country for a couple hours where all the local gangs know your fat tourist rear end is easy pickings. And to top it all off it's all very expensive.


edit: also lol they'll leave your rear end behind in that 3rd world country if you're one second late to the boat.

I had the same feelings until I went on one. It was totes awesome after we got on the boat. I would reccomend getting an all you can drink beer thing if you can. Then you just use the duck out of it and gorge yourself. Also, you only have to plan some for the excursions.

It's always nice to find a quiet promenade that nobody hangs out on, pull up a couple of deck chairs and read for hours. On our last cruise, we spent a week in London, grabbing loads of books, then going on our cruise of Scandinavia out of Southampton. The promenade we found was pretty much deserted, with only the occasional folks taking a stroll. I decided to read a book about famous ship disasters, which got lots of looks and comments from the other passengers.


Cruises are nice because you can visit lots of different cities very easily. Go to your hotel room, wake up and visit a city. Go back to your hotel room, wake up and visit a completely different city. Very convenient.

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT!?
The buffets aren't amazing but a way better deal than the overpriced dining room packages they offer you.

Never do an Alaskan cruise because everyone is over 75 and the ship security lines take forever because they have to deal with all the walkers and wheelchairs.

Pretty sure OP is referring to Cruise's as in plural, I'm personally OK with one Cruise. Two or more Cruise's is absolutely ridiculous.

I felt the same OP, but with one of my ex's I went on one around the carribean islands of Barbados and St Lucia and poo poo. I was reluctant to go as I didnt want to be stuck on the boat for days at the time, nor get dressed up for dinner/certain areas : if im on holiday I want to slum it in shorts and sandals, and be doing interesting stuff each day.

She found one where It was casual dress everywhere, food and booze were all inclusive, and the restaurants opened 24/7 so I could come down at like 3am and eat 3 burgers (was massively into going to the gym at the time).

gently caress getting dressed up to eat some overpriced food. It had like 3 swimming pools and a climbing wall and loads of bars, and we were at a different island each morning and out from like 8am-8pm, so it was only the evenings where I had to be on the boat.

I bet it was for sure one of the cheaper options but the ship was like a floating hotel + leisure complex + shopping mall, and it was still really really nice. Only bad thing was the room was tiny and the "view" was a tiny porthole that looked out onto nothing, but you are only there to sleep anyway.

It owned.

You're talking about Carnival and other poo poo-tier cruises, the better ones can have really good food. Also I don't think many cruises stay on the boat the entire time. The one I went on visited Mexico, The Cayman Islands, Jamaica, and Haiti.

hosed up if false.

With that being said I think Tom Cruise looks pretty good, particularly for someone in their early 50s. This kind of ageism exhibited by OP is problematic IMO.

one cruise line has started confiscating bottled water/other liquids from passengers because so many of them were smuggling vodka onboard

when in college a couple of buddies went on a cruise that we found on deep discount out of miami for like $499 (pro move, by the way), and had a competition as to who could smuggle in the most liquor. One friend purchased a 24 rack of water bottles, tediously refilled the middle ones with vodka, laboriously re-sealed each one, putting them back under that shrinkwrap plastic so no one was the wiser, basically going the whole 9 yards.

I literally just threw 2 handles of vodka and a $20 in my bag and hoped either a) they wouldn't scan mine b) if ur a dockworker in miami you don't give a poo poo, and you'll take the twenty

I won the competition

I'd never go on a cruise that was anything more than a more convenient way to get around some islands.

Its just a giant moving hotel with somewhere to rest my head and get some cheap/easy food.

The holiday is the places you are going to see, not sitting on some boat.
