Did our first big ship cruise over the Christmas holidays. We did absolutely

nothing and had a blast. The thing is the sea not the ship. We did not get off

the ship at all. Now we are looking for a Cruise to Nowhere.



Agree. I can spend a lot of time just sitting in a deck chair, drinking a cup of coffee, reading and

watching the waves go by. It's even better if the water's rough.

And you have to PAY to sit in an enormous herd of people to do this? I

have a boat.





The govt. payed me to do just what John was talking about.



The govt almost paid me to ride a ship to Vietnam from Boston harbor. But, I got a change to orders

at the last minute and went somewhere else. Missed a nice (?) boat ride.

"ride a ship"...??
What kind of seaman talk is that..especially in a boating newsgroup?
Try SAIL on a ship'


It would have been a boat ride, not a sailing adventure. This ship had no sails.

I don't suppose you've ever gone 'boating'? When you take out your boat, do you tell all your
friends you're going 'sailing'?

Why not stop looking for ways to be unpleasant?
