Going on a Cruise

[Xielos]

I'll be gone from today untill Monday, going on a cruise with my family. See you all when I get back :cool:

[suburbanhell]

Have fun man!

[Sebastian Kain]

Fantastic! Enjoy yourself! :sk:

[Tsarmina]

Wow. Have fun! Have you been on one before? I heard that they are really addictive.

[Xielos]

This place charges 50 cents a minute to be online, so I'll keep this short. Having fun on the cruise fo the most part, and I'm about to land in Nassau. Bye for now :P

[Chain Lightning]

You'll have to let us know which ship and cruise line you're on. My wife and I are cruise addicts, we go on Royal Caribbean all the time.

Tsar, yeah, they are a lot of fun and it's safe to say that everyone I've met that takes one becomes a regular cruiser and books more. I highly recomend them.

[Malibu Sally]

Yup. We take one to Mexico every other year. Have to say that Carnival is our choice now. RC is too filled with dusty old folks who complain about everything.

[Kinetix]

Where to Xielos?

[Malibu Sally]

Where to Xielos?

Well he said he was about to be in Nassau, so I venture to guess that the cruise is to the Bahamas. O_o :P

[Kinetix]

oh ok, I didn't know where Nassau was.

[Malibu Sally]

That's ok. You live way the heck up in Washington.

I did not know where Olympic National Park was till just a few years ago. :rolleyes:

[Stalking Shadow]

Florida is that bay in Vietnam, right?

[Kinetix]

Florida is that bay in Vietnam, right?

Ya :rolleyes:

[Xielos]

Found a computer that only charges .25 a minute :P

I'm on the Sovergein of the Seas, and docked in Nassau untill 2:30 am. Next up is Coco Cay, where I'll be riding a jetski :cool:

See you all for now :)

Yeah, the cane-walking-soft-food-eating bunch of irritants practically took over my Hawaii cruise a few years back. But, hey it was HAWAII, so we dealt with them.

Yep, been on that one. We were on it just a couple years ago before they took it into drydock to retrofit and update it.

Coco Cay is nice. Have fun!

Hawaii? Lucky bastich. ;)

We usually take the 3 or 4 day cruise out of Tampa or Miami to Cozumel. November is the best time to take them too. The fares are the lowest of the year AND the chances of tropical weather hazards are low as well. The temps in Mexico are in the low 80's, so you don't roast to death, and, on a personal note... Cozumel is waaaay better than Cancun. Cancun has become too "Americanized". Cozumel is much older and still retains much of it's native character.

[Alumette]

<sigh>

Someday I'll take a cruise. <calculates her teacher's salary over the next...>

Yeah. Probably when I'm one of those soft-food-eating, cane-walking irritants. :(

I'd like to do a Mediterranean cruise, preferably on a smaller ship, or an actual clipper (like, with real sails and everything :P). I have no need to be on a floating city.

Of course, I could meet someone with a private yacht and a villa in Provence... that would be okay too. ;)

In any case, Xielos, it sounds like you're having a ton of fun. :) Live it up, man!

[Xielos]

JETSKI'S ARE AWESOME!!!!

We're setting off from Coco Cay as I'm typing this. I also went Parasailing. That was COOL!!! Saw a school of sharks from all the way up there. I'll be back home by tomorrow, probably sometime in the afternoon. Untill then (or in a few hours, whichever gets boring first) talk to you later :P

[Tsarmina]

I'm not jealous. Really. :grr:

[Tarkenchi]

I'm not jealous. Really. :grr:

aww, mina is green with envy! GLad your having fun mate!

[Xielos]

We ran out of suntan lotion.

Ow. :shinner:

Anyways, I'm here at the teens bar, which sucks pretty badly, but its better than the tiny TV in the rooms. Not much else to do tonight, my dad is already talking about taking another cruise in a few months :cool:

See you all later :P

[Tarkenchi]

:mad: Another cruise?! *sigh* i want a real vacation, vegas didn't count... :cry:

[Stalking Shadow]

I'd settle for a massage right now.

[Chain Lightning]

Sally, yeah we've been to Cozumel twice on previous cruises. I loved the Mayan ruins at Tulum.

Oh you can really hate me now, we're hitting Hawaii again in September. Want me to bring ya back something?

All together I've been on eight cruises, my wife has been on nine, (she took one with just her and her mother, left me at home, the wench) I've done Hawaii once and the others were all Caribbean. I've been to St. Martin, Curacao, Puerto Rico, Grand Cayman, Cozumel, Jamaica, Bahamas, St. Thomas, Antigua, and I hate to admit this but I'm sure I'm forgetting some of them.

We've decided we're done with the Caribbean routes for now, so next year we're doing Tahiti and starting in on the European/Mediterranean routes.

[Tsarmina]

Still. Not. Envious. *esplode*

[Xielos]

Well, I just got back a few hours ago, but I decided to take a nap. All in all, it was a great and fun experince, from all the great food, to wiping out on a jetski and nearly killing my cousin. 3 days is just not enough ;)

I definetly want to go on another one, maybe just me and my friends...

[Stalking Shadow]

Hey, who's your buddy? That's right, good ol' Shadow. :P
