A Super Boat Ride...
 
Just returned, yesterday, from a great trip aboard the cruise ship 'Disney
Magic'. A great week with stops at Key West, Grand Cayman, Cazumel, and
Castaway Key, by Abaco Island in the Bahamas.

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.

Norwalk Virus, necrotizing fasciitis, MRSA, colds, influenza...

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. :)

I hear there's a ship's pool, the winner being the one who accurately
guesses the number of screaming brats tossed overboard.

Ditto. 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.

I'm with you, no eff'ing way I'd EVER take a cruise on one of those

one of those floating apartment buildings... never.

Are you the same lying Harry Krause that made a $100 bet with me on the
election?

I won the bet and you disavowed it, although you stated clearly in this
newsgroup you agreed.

The bet was not for my gain. I asked you to send it to the Make a Wish
Foundation.



We all made the same wish, Wally: that you would drop dead.
Apparently we didn't wish hard enough.

It's Mysophobia and no, I'm not a mysophobe.

I do have two immunological disorders and have to be aware of the very
real possibility of infections of all sorts from sinus to routine
cuts, bruises and skin problems like poison ivy. If I get a cut, it
takes a while to heal becaue of it and if it gets infected, I have to
cut out some of the regular meds to take antibiotics and that ain't no
fun.

Besides I hate crowds. :)

Harry, that was not called for.




I have no memory of Wally's bet. My guess is that whenever he made it,
he was residing in my bozo bin. In any event, maybe it's good he is
back. He did retire the cup as the dumbest poster here, and it hasn't
been easy to replace him.

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.



Hmmm. Some of the same things can be said about certain young women.

My wife and I went to that part of Mexico for our honeymoon. We landed
in Cancun, spent a day there, and then took the ferry ride to Cozumel,
where we stayed for two days. Rented scooters. Last season, some
tourists were killed in Cozumel. Hoodlums chased them down, got them off
their scooters, robbed them and then killed them. Scary.

Anyway, after Cozumel, we went to Tulum, and then to Chichen Itza. Great
trip. We spent another day in Cancun upon our return. I wouldn't
recommend Cancun to anyone these days.

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.

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!

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.)

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!


Are folks not allowed to have opinions on Disney Cruises different than
yours John?

I understand that coming off a nightmare cruise like that will cause you to
be a bit on edge.

You are finished with it............so relax dude.

You and Reggie need to take some chill pills.


Jimh, you are welcome to any opinion you wish!!

A nice present for your son may be a cruise on the Disney Magic! I'm sure
you and the wife have been on several, so you know what a relaxing
adventure a cruise can be. Your son would love it, right?

Ditto. 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.


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? Oh me.

You have no idea what the atmosphere is on a Disney cruise ship. It is not
comparable to the places cheap people take their screaming, snot-nosed kids
where you seem to go a lot. I can't believe you'd really take your wife to
those places 'every time you go out for dinner'. Hopefully you'll be able
to do better now that the Marines are feeding one of your family!

Try a cruise. If not that, at least try something other than cheap
restaurants.

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?.

Yes, by taking a preventative measure, the crew was actually spreading
disease. Good point.

Take airplanes. The continuous fresh air in the cabins is bound to be more
healthful.


Dont even talk about Super Market carts and door handles. The one thing
I have started to do is to use a paper towel when opening the public
bathroom door. I notice they now put a trash bin next to the door so
people can drop the paper towel in the trash.

As a matter of fact, Harry, the personal attacks have not started with
Reggie. He has asked you questions that may be difficult for you to answer,
but he's not 'attacked' you or Jimh. Neither have I, although Jimh would
like to imply that I have.



I have told Reggie that I want neither his advice nor his questions. I
have told him this at least 50 times.

Hey - do your thing - I have no problem with it. If you want to walk
around a floating infection factory where they have to hand out
disinfectant wipes to keep their clients healthy - have at it man.
Good idea. Brilliant in fact - should make everybody feel much safer
health wise. The base fact that disinfectant wipes are meaningless in
the long run shouldn't enter into it at all.

Remember - disinfecting doesn't kill virus vectors - only bleach or
similar solutions kill virus vectors.

I'm not going to do it for stated reasons. The last infection I had
took three months to get rid of and I had to use a walker to move
around the house. And that was from a brand new pool at the health
club I belong to.

Be my guest, but I'll take a pass.

Harry,

I recommend you either filter me, ignore me or stop posting in rec.boats
and use email. What would your response be if i told you I don't want
you to respond to my posts? What would your response be if I told you I
don't want you to use childish profanity and name calling every time
someone disagrees with you? Why do you think you are so special? Your
threads (like all threads) are open to all to respond, and even if you
don't use my excellent advice ( ;0 ), they have made for some great
discussions.

What happened to you that made you the way you are?

I am glad you enjoy going on a cruise with Mickey, Goofy and Donald, as well
as with a bunch of snot nosed screaming brats.

My son has higher standards.
