The kids don’t know yet since it’s one of their Christmas presents but we’re doing a quick 5 day to Catalina and Ensenada. Not getting off the boat in Mexico… That’s pretty wimpy, Ensenada is plenty safe. We drove and camped Baja end for end last winter and never felt unsafe. Yeah but they’ve been to Cabo, PV, Mazatlan so Ensenada doesn’t have anything except the squirts and kitschy crap we don’t need. I swore I’d never go back to Mexico every time I get back from Mexico. 😁 I’ve been there and done that and I have the t-shirts, blankets and stolen credit card experience to go with it. I’m glad that you guys had a good trip and everything worked out well. It’s a beautiful country.

Maybe you can use one of those diving bells to get your stock back. Or just sit on 10k acres of apparently somewhat useless land hoping the kids will turn it around over the next 50+ years. Hey I fixed that quote for you.. I rather have 10k acres of supposed worthless land than sit on a cruise ship..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

My last one got canceled due to the Covid scare.
Not sure I want any part of that these days.
I’m tired of traveling anyways. I need a freaking
weeks rest after a damn 4 day vacation.
I’m over dat noise.

My wife, along with 8 or 10 other women have an Alaskan Cruise scheduled for May. She and I have been on this trip before but when one of her girl friends asked her to go she never hesitated.
I will never go on another cruise.

Vacation preferences aside, after the way the cruise industry behaved during the height of The Bologna Virus scare, I cannot imagine giving them a dime of your money.
I think 50% of the world has lost their fugking mind, or took enough pills to turn it into mush.

Are there any All-white cruises?
I know that a carnival cruise is out of the question!

On one right now and heading back to Ft. Lauderdale. It is back to normal as far as we can tell. No masks or stupid restrictions anymore that we noticed. Make you get vaccinated? Celebrity and no on the vaccination (jab) requirement and no on the testing requirement. I saw one mask on one crew member the entire trip and none on the passengers.

kwg If the fire currently in West Oak Creek canyon doesn't destroy it, do visit when in the flagstaff Sedona area. Especially if you can hike a little. I have spent a good amount of time in those areas. Regards

Guess the gov money quit flowing and they need ticket sales. It was packed and the same cruise this time next year was 98% sold. They aren’t for everyone and I get that, but it isn’t the only travel we do. There are certain ones we enjoy. I wouldn’t go on a Carnival cruise if my life depended on it. We like them when we travel to unknown places that we want to get an idea if we like it enough to make a land based trip. We are going to Peru next month (family there), Punta Cana in March, Japan cruise on Cunard in April with my daughters, and Switzerland in June on a watch makers tour.

Never been on a cruise and never will. Those things are floating petri dishes (long before the China virus).

Never been sick on a cruise and hardly ever sick at home. As much travel as we do it is damn good that our immune systems have been exposed to so much that they are humming right along.

So what is so dirty about a cruise ?
Every one we've been on, is always being cleaned, washed, or scrubbed at any given moment.
A guest spills or drops anything, a crew member is on the clean up right away, at night, there is floor scrubbing, and food places being cleaned, ice cream machines apart, and cleaning, etc. I see crews wiping everything down constantly.
If you catch anything on a cruise ship, it's because of your own poor hygiene.
I never wanted to go on one many years ago. Friends invited us to go with them on one.
I hesitantly went. Loved it. Unless you look over the sides, you pretty much don't know your floating in the ocean.
