Lol- I've been a closet cruise geek for over a year now, since before our cruise to Alaska. At least one other member here is as well. CC can be a vicious place to post, full of trolls and upgrade grubs and the like, but it is very informative as well.

Even a 12 degree list is pretty damned scary, epecially if you consider that 45 will capsize. I think of all the glass and items that could go flying and I can only imagine the level of destruction. I hope that little girl is okay.

Typically when you book a cabin on a cruise, you select a specific class of cabin such as "inside", "outside", "balcony" etc... Cruise lines often give out upgrades to a higher level of cabin if the ship is not full. Some people make it their life's ambition to get an upgrade and try all sorts of tricks... That's a grub. The especially obnoxious ones seem to think it's some sort of right and go flaming bonkers when then are actually placed in the cabin they selected and paid for.
