Sure, I'll take a cruise on a big ship with hundreds of other people and their rug rats that I don't know on your recommendation. Like hell I will. :) Yup. Good idea. Don't go to your local grocery store either. Don't even *think* about getting into a cab! One of the songs on board was, "I've got the cleanest hands, in the world. I've got the cleanest hands, in the world. I've got the cleanest hands, in the world. The cleanest hands in the whole wide world!" (Sung to the tune, "He's got the whole world...in his hands"! This was true because we were continuously confronted with crew giving us hand disinfectants. Airplanes, I hear, are much better because of all the fresh air coming into the cabin! |

The Disney folks really take care of their passengers with great food, great shows, and a beautiful ship. I highly recommend it! I have never been on a cruise, but it sounds like a great trip with the grandkids. All my life I've thought they were a great waste of money, and they are. Now I've gone twice in two years, and am planning to go again in two years! I was thinking, while on this cruise, that cruise ships would be a great target for the GW fanatics. Those things use a lot of resources, and provide nothing, other than fun, for mankind. So, you ought to take advantage of them before they get on someone's hit list. I actually asked my wife if she would like to take a cruise to Alaska. She liked the idea originally, then decided she would prefer to take more shorter vacations than a 2 week cruise. Did you offer to send her on a vacation with someone other than you? |

As an aging baby boomer I cannot imagine wanting to take a cruise aboard a ship filled with snot nosed screaming spoiled brats........grandkids or not. I shudder every time we go out for dinner to find us next to a cheap skate family who decided to bring their screaming preschooler with them rather than hire a baby sitter. Having to endure an entire cruise with that *atmosphere* is not my cup of tea. That is the reason why they offer so many different kind of cruises. They are all death traps. Nope, not a death trap for most. Boredom trap for a lot of us. I can honestly say that I was never bored. There were usually too *many* things going on. I got a lot of enjoyment from a few quiet hours in the adults-only areas with a good boot. (Whoever recommended Monsarrat's "The Cruel Sea" did me a great favor." I'll take any other recommendations from the same author.) It was funny to watch the people on a Carnival cruise ship docked next to us at Cozumel. (Did I get the spelling correct, Harry?) When the Disney Magic docked, dozens of people on the Carnival ship got their cameras to take pictures of the Disney Magic. I saw not one person on the Disney Magic take a picture of the Carnival ship. |

You first. :) For me that's probably true. I smoked like a fiend for 39 years, so I don't worry much about the little things any more. |

Was a cruise ship docked near it. Unbelievable how much bigger the cruise ships are than the QM. Way to many people to deal with. We did that when I was stationed at San Pedro (Fort MacArthur). That was a fun tour and a nice park alongside, iirc. |

Having to endure an entire cruise with that *atmosphere* is not my cup of tea. Perhaps you, your kids, and your friends should raise kids who are not 'snot-nosed screaming spoiled brats...". Screw you. I never posted anything negative about your kids or grandkids. Your flame of my family is uncalled for. I have raised a son who will soon be a US Marine. I have raised a daughter who will soon be graduating from Ohio State. I can understand your nasty attitude after coming off a cruise filled with snot nosed screaming brats. You now need to chill. Jealousy coming to the fore again, JimH? Jealous of a you taking a Disney Cruise? ROTF! Oh my gosh, I thought you mentioned my grandkids in your post about snot-nosed kids! Was I mistaken? Yes. Please show me where I did. BTW: I am still waiting for an apology from you for posting a personal attack on my family. However, I was not surprised that you made that attack nor am I surprised you are not man enough to apologize for that attack. JimH, You are sounding exactly like Bassy when you were teasing him about his wife and kids. The difference is John made the comment once, you made the comments to Bassy numerous times a day, for months. Do you remember how silly it sounded when Bassy was asking for an apology? Whats next, Are you now going to accuse JohnH of stalking you and your family?. |
