imagine its full of women (or traps, twinks if you like) and they are ready to frick anytime during the trip. that would be fun
god you need to get pussy summergay
why is everyone on this board so fricking horny Jesus Christ
Hey, count me in the 'horny' crowd too.
same
Chilling on a boat seems pretty cool
I just wonder how easy it is to get MILFs and GILFs on one.
Most are probably with partners/husbands.There may be a few all-female groups but I'm guessing that would be pretty low as they'd rather be on a beach going crazy than on a frickin ship.
i'm guessing the vast majority of MILF posters have never actually been with one. it's a unique experience and worth trying but younger women are better in the overwhelming majority of cases
It is a very stress-relieving experience. Just do nothing all day except recreational activities, isolated from he world, served of everything.
It's not the best choice if you want an adventure in cities or nature.
Is it boring
>voluntarily putting yourself in a situation you can't escape for a week
>this is relaxing
Peoplee so overworked. Locking themselves to not work is relaxing.
Ridiculously sad
Do those boats have internet? I might work regardless (startup moments).
You'll have to purchase a plan for internet usually for these cruises.
not anymore, most cruise lines are giving internet packages (among other things) away to attract customers now
You do that everyday, though.
If you're a shut-in like OP, no
If you have friends or a s.o. to go with or you're sociable, they're not bad at all
how many cruises have you been on anon, waht are some of your favorite memories from the trip
not that anon, but I've been on ones I enjoyed and ones that were meh. I think 5 total, out of which I really enjoyed 3.
>very first cruise, from NYC to Halifax, Bar Harbor, Martha's Vineyard, and Boston
>had an awesome time, enjoyed visiting the small towns and sailing in and out of port in the thickest fog I've ever seen. Bagpipes playing from a barely visible fort up the hill in Halifax was a really cool experience
>went on Alaska cruise with mom and brother in 2019, food was excellent and views from the ship were fantastic. definitely my favorite cruise to date, Princess may be a retiree cruise line but fricking hell they hire good cooks
>2012 "End of the World" Christmas cruise with family in the Caribbean. As a cruise it was ok, Cozumel was really the only fun port, but was with family and actually enjoy being with family, so we had fun together. Heavy weather on the way back to Florida from Cozumel, which I had a lot of fun with while half the family was seasick in cabin.
Not a fan of Caribbean cruises tbh, it's all the same cruise-line packaged bullshit and souvenir trinkets in cruise-owned "safe" areas with every trip outside being basically poverty tourism. A few places can be exception, but most islands and central/south American ports outside of Mexico seem to be like that, and I don't like contributing to that kind of industry. Hence why I liked Alaska and New England so much, and I'd love to do Med and Nordic cruises too.
>2012 "End of the World" cruise
how did they know??
>gotta make reservations for any specialty restaurant
>buffet is a cross between the stock exchange and the zoo
>that shore excursion you wanted is full
>we had to cancel the port due to bad weather
>we had to cancel the port due to covid
>this next port is a tender port, please take your ticket and wait
>madam the deep tissue massage is $240 for an hour
>don’t forget you gotta be back onboard 5:30 p.m.
>9am on last day: thanks for your money now gtfo
I guess being trapped on a floating scam is certainly stress free if your goal is to turn into a raisin on the sun deck
>gotta make reservations for any specialty restaurant
Do zoomers really get anxiety over making a fricking reservation
Don’t know bout zoo ears cuz they don’t cruise, but boomers surely get uppity about it
>what do you mean the restaurant is full and I can’t change my table of 2 to a table of 6 hours before the dinner
>being trapped on a floating scam
This made me laugh so hard
this
just stop posting you Low Culture mongoloid, we know cruise ships are containment devices for monkeys like you but keep it to yourself
You have a meltdown whenever you're required to make a reservation. Lol
it's annoying in the age of automation. get with the times, you boomer frick
You're scared to call another person. The problem is you, not them.
you forgot the upsell on LITERALLY FRICKING EVERYTHING
>sorry that drink isnt included in your drinks pass
>stand over here and smile. ok that photo will be $60 frickboi
>that shore trip you wanted to do now has a premium option
>still having to tip even though from and touring to non-tipping countries
>you forgot the upsell on LITERALLY FRICKING EVERYTHING
Yeah, so what? It's optional. That's why cruises are so inexpensive. Sorry you're a drunk who can't afford a drink package or are so autistically meek you can't simply say no to a photographer (not that you have to buy the photo anyway), well that is a personal problem. Regular people budget for those add-ons or don't buy them.
>still having to tip even though from and touring to non-tipping countries
Already rolled into the cost of the cruise. You can tip extra if you like, but you aren't obligated to.
No matter how you feel about cruises, they're great.
If you like them, that's perfect; no further questions. If you don't like them, they still need to be aggressively shilled. Let the boomers and basic b***hes go on cruises, while you do the real traveling. The fewer people there are in your way, the better.
The equivalent of throwing used car batteries in the most beautiful oceans in the world.
Don't listen to these /nevercruised/ crabs in a bucket
Actually I think that would be better for the environment
They're great if you literally want to not do anything. If you've been working 60 hour weeks for several months, I could see the appeal of a cruise. Or if you're so old you can barely move. But any young healthy person should not look to cruises for their sense of adventure obviously.
Is something wrong with an expedition cruise to Antarctica?
No, but that's a $30k once-in-a-lifetime trip
I thought mine was worth it. If the pandemic ever blows over, I'd like to take the Aranui cruise from Tahiti to the Marquesas and back. Given that I don't think I can swing buying my own sailboat, learning to sail, find a compatible crew, and doing the voyage. And I think their run out to Pitcairn is a little steep.
>30k
More like once a year but ok
I'd be very surprised if anybody does an Antarctic cruise more than twice unless they are working aboard. And very few would do it more than once.
Maybe this is a miscommunication.
No. I would love to do a Mediterranean cruise and wake up in different badass port every morning.
The good way to do that is by chartering a yacht, not going on a cruiseship
i like that fact that there is absolutely zero need for logistics on a cruise ship. everything is taken care of. food, rooms, entertainment, destination. i don't have to plan anything. just wake up and so something.
it's a lazy man's vacation, and it excels at that.
It's comfy if you're a rich boomer and don't care about trying to seem cultured
Tried it once. Never particularly got the appeal. Granted I was a teenager at the time but all I really did was just eat, eat, and well eat for 5 days.
I'm going on an alaskan cruise soon. I'm fricking hyped.
Cruise shipping is for overworked parents who are tired of doing the tedious administrative shit of their day to day life, and want to just flop down for a bit and have zero responsibilities.
It’s basically adult day care.
Great for oldies, but a waste of time for us Real TravelersTM
You just sold me on cruising.
I'm so tired.
that isn't something you miserable online English teachers would ever experience. save some money for ryanair and hostels in asia
The last thing I want is to pay to be trapped on a floating tub in the middle of the ocean for a week. Sure you get to stop somewhere but is it somewhere you really wanted to go anyway?
I was a merchant mariner so yes I am biased.

Deck or engine?

>Is cruise shipping the most moronic thing you could do during vacation?
Calling it "cruise shipping" could be more moronic
i can see the pros of them, ive never done them, i'd rather be at a beach resort, or a self catered property on a nice beach, or visit port cities at my own pace not worrying about this is my only chance to see all the port in one day.
are you only thinking of typical caribbean or mediterranean ports on the cruise?
there are cruises to areas of the world that you get to see things you wouldn't normally like like norwegian fjord cruise or Alaska
there are river cruises that typically cater to boomers in europe Rhone, Rhine, Danube etc or meme historic adventure - like Nile or Mekong or Mississippi.
also there are luxury train trips that are like a cruise, but its a train so less amenities like those japanese luxury trains - but they exist in south africa, south america also
>cruise shipping
Come on
lots of boomer swingers
lots of families with snot-nosed little shits running around
I wouldnt do another one unless it was a much smaller boat that can go to remote locations
the whole mega-cruise thing they seem to be touting before the pandemic is my nightmare
o a o this boats rockin o a o rockin' the whole world now 'cus were living the suite life now
If you book one blind and hate it then yes, it's moronic. But, if you know what you are getting and know how to maximize your time onboard, then it's actually an incredibly efficient, stress-free, and relaxed way to see the world in an uncommitted sort of way. The ports of call give you a superficial feel of the region, albeit diluted with the inherent tourist trap industries that inevitably inundate those port areas. At nighttime you get pre-arranged entertainment/standup comedy/various stage performance, plus there's a gym and casino if you want. The ratio of staff on each ship is something like 1:4 so the service you get is of decent quality. Would I do it alone? No. But with the right person it can be romantic.
It's obvious nearly everyone who b***hes about cruises have never been on one
They're not for everyone but for most people they're perfectly fun
