Well?
Please don't be weird in my topics
No. Seems boring.
Shut your BF28/9 sound hole and listen up.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice? Strike three.
Five or six yeah, last one being about ten years ago. I like them a lot but I hate the environmental damage

Went on two during high school with my family... Enjoyed them...

Don't think I'd enjoy them now though since I'd be going by myself...

No, norovirus is the fucking worst.
A coworker told me how his family had to take turns on the toilet while helping his dad who was in a wheelchair. Fuck that mess

ive been on 2

the first, i spent all my time and money in the arcade. mainly on the cabela shooting games, mastered every last level

the second, i spent most of the time in my cabin playing RE6/Anthology on my PS3 (it came out the day i left)

i do want to give one a real go now that im capable of getting my own cabin/deal, but i cant ethically justify it
My fate was the grandest, most brilliant of them all.

No, and I never will. Cruise ships are abominations.

I've enjoyed the 3 I've been on. I like going to the different ports, seeing small snippets of an area without having to commit to 2-3 days of any one of them.

I've been on 4. Just got off one last week actually. Lots of fun and very relaxing

Not in the conventional sense as a civilian but I was in the U.S. Navy and went on multiple 6+ month deployments we called cruises. Ive seen a lot of open water in my time and travelled the world multiple times over.

Mediterranean deployment was the best. South American deployment was good but not as good as the Mediterranean and Middle East deployment had some cool stuff but overall Id firmly rank it last. There were others too that were good that Id rank in the middle.

Med is the best. It was a 6 month pleasure cruise. I have no idea what kind of relations we were supposed to be representing and we werent doing anything like plane guard for a carrier there or primary strike destroyer for launching Tomahawks like in the Middle East. It was literally just going port to port and partying for 6 months. Huge waste of money by the government as it was estimated to be like a million dollars a day for us to be deployed but I sure had a blast. Fucking great time.

As a civilian Id like to maybe do one of the Alaskan ones sometime. Cool scenery, cooler weather. My type of vibe.

I find nothing interesting about cruises. They're almost the antithesis of how I'd like to spend time.
I love traveling and have been to multiple countries but a cruise never appealed to me
Its the easiest way to book a vacation for family gatherings because it handles all accommodations, entertainment, and food for a bunch of different people.

No. Any time Ive been on boats Ive gotten horribly seasick. And thats with medication. Cant imagine being stuck out on the water miserable with a high chance of getting norvirus on top.

We had a dude on my ship that got sick every time we went out to sea. He was so bad when he even KNEW we were getting underway he would be sick before we ever left the pier which would make me chuckle. He was a mess specialist (cook) and Id see him with his Dramamine patch when I would eat and Id be like Come on man we havent even left yet! He would just chuckle.

I was forced to go by my older brother. He meant well and I love him to pieces but being around that maby people is not my cup of tea. All the free food was nice tho.
Jack! Jack! He's my psycho maniac! <3
18? 19? But none in the past 20 years. For a while it was my parents' favorite mode of family vacationing.
Yes

I didn't particularly care for it, but the food was great
Why not go all in?
Nope. I probably will at some point since I've got family that keeps trying to get me to go. But frankly I'd rather just cruise around on my own boat and do some fishing.
Have you seen the Yellow Sign?
Quando omni flunkus moritati
No, but Ive been considering it this year. Some of the bigger ships are the sizes of small citys with enough people, places, events and fun to easily keep you occupied for a week.

Their also not that expansive if you find a good enough deal.

Three.

They're nice because they're easy AF. It's literally, choose destination, choose weekend, tack on excursions if you want, and bam, you're done planning.

Nah I have no interest. My wife wants to go on a Disney cruise and that sounds fucking miserable. If anything i might be down for an Alaskan cruise at most. Rather just take a boat out myself and fuck around for a bit tho.

I would like to take my daughter on one, but the wife has zero interest. And Disney cruises are among the more expensive ones.

I'll be on a Royal Caribbean ship in a few weeks. Flying to LA to check out my first Quantum class ship, Ovation of the Seas.

My cruising strategy right now is to go on smaller, older ships in the Winter when they are cheap. Then I hang out in the Casino and play slots until I get enough loyalty points to get free or discounted cruise vouchers for the Summer. This way I average about 2 cruises a year.

And to those who think they are unethical, believe what you want. Ive done the ship tours myself and seen the recycling center and water treatment systems. The industry has been switching to LNG powered engines instead of diesel. Also, there are many more container ships out there burning way more fuel per person than the cruise industry does if that's the hangup.

Haven't been sick yet, either. But washing hands is mandatory to get in the buffet since Covid. They also clean a lot more, too.
Never and I never will. I've already almost drowned enough times, I know better than to push my luck.
Look, I can name a few instances in MY life where I tried to reach mutual understanding
and i can TELL you, always faster and easier to just kill em. Just is!

Yeah I can take my family on two cruises for the price of one Disney cruise. Also, the nightlife wouldn't be the same so I have no interest. It's probably cheaper to fly in to Orlando and spend a day at Disney World before taking the hour drive East to Port Canaveral for a more traditional cruise right after in the same week.

Never have and never will.

When it comes to travel, I'd rather have an authentic experience than gallivant around some giant tacky floating hotel/shopping mall full of disease and exploited workers.
after years of waiting
nothing came
Yes I been on 3 cruises. To Jamaica, Bahamas, and Mexico. But it's been over 10 years since I been one one. This was back when I was still living with parents which made it easy to save money for trips.

The only ones that have any appeal at all to me are river cruises. Where the ship is just an alternate way to travel across Europe plus a place to sleep at night, and the cities visited along the way are the actual attractions. That's something I might consider doing someday.

No, they have no appeal to me.

yes, a few when I was still in school. They're the only time i've left the US.

No and I have no interest. I don't like the idea of being on a boat in the middle of the ocean for that long.

It also seems like so many of them have issues will people getting extremely ill.

Completely overblown worry. I've been on a ton of cruises and there has never been any epidemic of people getting sick

It also depends on how classy the cruise line is. Like, I avoid Carnival like the plague, because it probably can be found there.

Once to the Bahamas. Had zero interest in going then and the interest remains zero now.

3 and I loved them, but I'm a very boring guy.
Also, one of them had a zip-line, ice rink, a rock wall, and some wave rider machines, which kinda feels like cheating, for some reason.

Aww, but that's the one that had all that fun stuff on it. What does one do on a klassy kruise?

Not get sick? I don't know. I mostly just ate and drank high end stuff when not on excursions

Of my 3, I've only gotten sick once and that was blatenly from over-indulging on the ice-kream machine.

I haven't been on a Carnival cruise, but I think on longer cruises (like 5+ nights at least) they aren't too different than Royal Caribbean, especially Carnival's newest ships. I'm talking about cleanliness and atmosphere.

There has been a push by the cruise lines to prioritize shorter cruises. This is why they have been building up private islands a day or two away from Florida ports. It's much more profitable to have a 3 day cruise and then 4 day cruise every week instead of a 7 night cruise.

The downside is that shorter cruises attracts more riff-raff and people who want a "party cruise". I guarantee that these crazy fights you see in the news lately are coming from short booze cruises. Could be Carnival, MSC, or Royal Caribbean, which are the 3 cheapest major lines.
I went on a cruise with my family. It was just a weekend cruise, so the ship went to a spot in Mexico for a few hours and back. I was 12 at the time, so there was a lot of stuff I couldn't do on the ship.
currently waiting for my turn in Master Duel.

I have a 7 day Royal Caribbean cruise next January. I'll see how it compares to Viking, which is super elitist. My dad always paid, most recently for my honeymoon.

I have been spoiled so we'll see how the cheaper ones are when I have to pay.

I have a 7 night journey to Puerto Rico, Coco Cay, and St. Thomas right after yours on February 7th. Independence of the Seas. It's my favorite RCCL ship so far. It's old enough to be pretty cheap, but big enough to have lots to do.

It's going to be a shock coming from Viking. Royal is just the "family" cruise line with big ships. Lots to do though. Which ship is it?
Yes, and I'd absolutely go on another.
