Thread: Cruise anyone?

Although I make jokes, I cannot fathom the horror these folks endured. Shame on Carnival.....I've been cold,wet and hungry. Raw sewerage.......ughhhh

Agreed. I have heard many stories of food poisoning and other issus on these cruises. The owners of some ships are foriegn entities and, combined with international waters/laws, are not necessarily required to do things as the passengers expect. Once you are on board that thing, you are at their mercy. Hell, I don't think you can even sue them? I expect you sign your life away before boarding! I always have said I would not go, even if the cruise was free! What a nightmare!

I have never wanted to go on a cruise - I'm just not a cruise ship kind of guy. I think it's the conspicuous consumption on such a massive scale that has always put me off. That, and when I travel I want to experience other peoples, cultures, and ideas. I don't think one gets that on a 3-hour-long, organized excursion during a port call.

But now I *really* have no desire to go on a cruise.

Cruising, province of the well fed, newly wed and nearly dead.

That Cruise Line doesn't have a stellar reputation. people need to do a little investigation before they put their lives in someone else's hands.

I also have never had a desire to go on a cruise; I'm thankful that I have a spouse that shares my view on that subject.
