****ed at what? God?

This sounds awfully like, "Who do we blame/sue for this?" The tour company?
The weatherman? I can understand their disappointment, but most of those
cruise tickets are sold at "discount" prices, to people looking for a real
deal for their vacation. Don't they assume some responsibility for the
ships being constructed for the majority of expected weather patterns, not
the extremes? If one looks at statistics of how many vacations are altered
by adverse weather conditions, one might better understand the popularity of
trip insurance.

I wouldn't call the windows on that, or any other modern cruise ship,
'portholes.' I am sure that was one of those we saw regularly coming
and going in the Hudson. Many of them look like glass-walled hotels.

I hope the passengers can enjoy having a good story to tell their
grandchildren, but I wouldn't blame them for being really ****ed right
now.

I wonder if the tourists following the wine-tasting
circuit in 'Sideways' start off by doing the NY Times
