On the Good Ship Swanky - Page 2

The only place I've ever wanted to cruise to is Alaskan or Norweigian fjords. Primarily because you can only see what I want to see from the ocean. Cold, but gorgeous. Of course, I would require a guarantee that glaciers would be calving into the sea for my pleasure and enjoyment.

My idea of the perfect tropical relaxation vacation happens on South Pacific island beaches, not cruise ships.

Can't do boats of any kind. Even the Queen Mary made me queasy. I still want to eat at the Animators Pallet though...

I would love to do something like this - someday hopefully.

mousepod · 03-22-2006, 11:35 AM

ooh. I have a new goal. Raise $10000 by next year. Anyone have some spare cash?

Yeah, I saw the prices. I have Stateroom tastes and an inside cabin budget.

innerSpaceman · 03-22-2006, 03:19 PM

Pfft, I've got stateroom tastes, and a stowaway budget.

Well, we're officially booked into Cabin 6083 for the westbound trans-Atlantic.

I can't believe we're doing this. We really can't afford it, but we're going to make sure we do. (Read: lots and lots of ramen lunches for the next year.....)

So, is anyone gonna come with us???? Think of it - Barcelona, Gibraltar, the Canary Islands.... with 6 consecutive days at sea with probably a 50% passenger ratio of Europeans...... it's got swank all over.

I didn't think I'd like cruising but a week on the Disney Magic year before last showed me I was wrong.

We were interested in the transatlantic repositioning cruises but the iterinary they put together looks so very boring to me. We've put a deposit down on one of the 11-day Mediterranean itineraries to keep our options open but unless Disney discounts the prices significantly we won't do it. There are much better Mediterranean itineraries available form classier lines than Disney (in the cruising world DCL is only a mid-level line) for much less (and frequently include airfare).

That's what happened to me - last year we did the west coast, and boom!! I'm a cruise-a-holic now.

We chose the repo with this one, because we're weird enough to love the thought of 6 consecutive days at sea.

But, I totally agree that the ports are not that exciting.
