My IBM and golf buddy in Bradenton was on one of those nightmare
cruises around South America and he ended up being trapped on the ship
for 3 weeks until they finally went to Miami. It actually worked out
OK because that was where his car was anyway. They were supposed to
fly back from Chile but Chile would not let them land. The cruise line
shuttled them to the airport for flights home and that was where his
car was. He did get an unscheduled trip through the Panama Canal and
he had a nice suite so being on the ship an extra 3 weeks wasn't
horrible.
Ahh...another advantage of being on a cruise ship...a free extension
because of a breakout of a virus on board. Add that to food poisoning,
falling overboard, hitting reefs and sinking, crashing into other ships,
and it is easy to see why the cruise life is so popular.
Look at the bright side, at least they don't plunge down from 33,000
feet in a fiery crash that kills everyone on board.
