Latest exhibit of why the world has gone 100% bonkers.

Somone, explain to me, like I'm in 2nd grade, why you would build a roller coaster on a cruise ship? Are we that strained for entertainment?

Cruises should be abolished altogether.

cruises are different now...last one you were on had nothing it looked like this....

If you dont take kids along Azamara is the best cruise line I have ever used. Casual 650 passengers first class service.

It would be a good way to launch the life boats......Wheeee!

 

[petro]

Watch Trainwreck The Poopcruise on Netflix. Lol.
After a power loss sewage backed up on the entire boat. Folks were stuck for days walking around in shit.

As with everything in life, if you want quality, you have to pay a premium.

If I see a ship with a roller coaster, I think of screaming kids.

When I think of Hell I think of screaming kids.

Nothing worse than being stuck on a boat in the middle of the ocean with 500 screaming fk trophies.

Well, or blacks.

The urge to throw them overboard would be overpowering.

Oh yeah! I am not against the idea of a cruise, but I have to be with a certain level of customer. Gambling does not bother me. They chain smoke, drink, and keep to themselves, from what I have seen.
It's the loud, it's the rude. It's the too young to know (kids) and the too stupid to care (trash of all colors).
I want my drink, my nice plate of food, my wife smiling and quiet.

I did a Carnival cruise once. It was relaxing and pleasant.

But it was not my kind of vacation.

Being cooped up in a totally artificial environment, deposited at brief intervals on privat beach islands, and docked at ports lust long enough to get a drink and shop for trinkets isn’t my gig.

I’m old enough to remember when cursing meant the Grace Line hybrid cruise ship. And the better department stores advertised cruise wear to the small audience that went cruising.

They were not the floating tourist traps that ply the Carribean today.

Cruising is self-contained. Sleeping, entertainment, a restaurant dinner and many food options along with comfortable daytime relaxation options in the sun. So, all you gotta do is show up with everything a couple minutes away or so. Now, the capitalism of cruises you make reservations with, and to some extent the socialism of using all of the complimentary things included, is what causes any potential issues if warranted. Going to nice beaches or seeing the ocean on sea days is nice. Just saying.

Yes, because why not? I don't need a glass one wine with my steak, but I want one, and get one.

I like the idea of a roller coaster with a cruise ship on it.

 

[Captain Creeper]

The idea of being stuck on a boat at sea for days with a bunch of rowdy, horny drunk strangers does not appeal to. If I am on a boat in the ocean, I am usually there to fish. If I were to do a cruise, it would have to be an exclusive, expensive cruise with only adults and no riff-raff who cannot behave.

You’ll need to charter one.

It’s like being quarantined for days in a huge floating Motel 6.
