Date: June 19th, 2019 11:40 AM Author: Excitant Theatre When I was a kid I did an Alaska cruise and it was pretty cool, went with my folks and my grandma and uncle.
I've thought about going solo on a cruise and just chilling the fuck out, writing, reading and being cut off. I think I could probably do just 1 week of that before I went stir crazy but it has been an idea.
My folks went on the QE1 for a leg back in the day as well. |

Date: June 19th, 2019 11:41 AM Author: underhanded mewling corner pisswyrm only cruises worth anything are ones where it's the only way to see a place, eg galapagos or antarctica. this is a very rare category; can't even think of a 3rd place that fits into this. every single other cruise is prole and not credited.
alaska cruise is the epitome of prole. |

They hire some pretty good tour guides, you are busy all day seeing shit, I was actually pretty worn out. The food is pretty damn good, great staff. The boat is small so it doesn't have a really huge bar/nightclub thing, but I went out solo a few times when we stopped.

Date: June 19th, 2019 3:19 PM Author: Grizzly exciting shrine ive been on one that i was basically required to go on with some in law$. it sucked.
the "cruise director" or "fun fascist" was some douchebag whose natural state is that of someone 10 min after doing a shitload of blow. his shenanigans were constantly invading my rich inner world.
you will overhear other passengers talking about how this is "a trip of a lifetime" for them. you will see these same people be astounded by the lamest execution of "fancy" food and drinks.
you will see people in mobility scooters treating the ship staff from the Philippines or eastern europe like indentured servants. you will then see that same guy in a mobility scooter order two entrees for dinner. entitled people of all ages throwing elbows to get in line for popular events. people shamelessly manufacturing complaints and perceived slights in order to get free shit. it was one of the single worst displays of ME ME ME ME culture.
i saw two boomer aged males go BALLISTIC about the stupidest shit. first was when he thought the line outside a bar with music was too long, even after it was explained to him that they had to clear the place out after someone had a heart attack. the second was because he had to wait 30 min for someone to come and push him in his wheelchair off the boat because "KIDS WHO DON'T NEED ASSISTANCE ARE TAKING IT ALL" (btw he was looking right at me when he said this, and i was there because i was with someone who was over 90 years old).
the food is pretty shitty but edible. analogous to the best dorm food you could encounter.
the art gallery and its art auctions were seriously the most entertaining part of the trip. i literally went to every one because it was so hilarious. i witnessed people paying over 10k for art that would have been tacky and overdone in 1987. i got to hear the auctioneer and other cruisers creaming themselves over how great they thought thomas kinkade was. i got to hear an art auctioneer say an artist was from "Kiev, Russia".
one thing they did do well was live music. the all black carribean themed band played the banana boat song aka "daylight come and i want to go home" to entertain pasty white midwesterners. given the labor practices on these things it was the best context dependent joke i have ever seen done, but i have no clue if it was intentional or not. pretty sure i'm the only one who got it though.
and this was on a Norwegian Cruise. i think they're mid market in the grand scheme of things. i'd hate to see what a carnival cruise looks like. |

getting on and off the boat was a bit of a cluster fuck. it was a mad rush to the bar after the mandatory safety briefing, which really set the every man for himself vibe that persisted throughout the whole 7 day trip.

Date: June 19th, 2019 3:49 PM Author: Diverse unhinged forum Just go on a regular vacation or if you don't like to plan at all an all-inclusive.
The entire thing is an ordeal. Initial boarding / departure is an hours-long shitshow. Boarding and reboarding (long lines and smelly, stressed, rude proles) and transport to and from the excursions and everything else leads to so much frustration and wasted time.
The food is a mediocre attempt at "fancy food" and you're trapped.
The drinks are expensive and trend toward sugary shit and you're trapped.
The ship is crowded and you're trapped.
Your room is small and you're trapped.
"Formal night" and the dress code and being told when you could eat and who you had to sit next to was so annoying, too.
This was on a Holland America cruise, which I think is mid-level like the Norwegian bro above. |

You forgot:
The ship is a de facto quarantine zone which means you can get sick at any given moment and you're trapped.
The cruise line will call you years after the cruise asking you to go on more cruises. |

Date: June 19th, 2019 4:14 PM Author: Magical ratface mental disorder eh, it's not that bad. Some of the ships are pretty awesome. You can basically go around the boat, sit by the pool, get utterly shitfaced all day, eat a lot (I've had shitty food on cruises, and some that was pretty decent, depends), gamble a lot, and go to some sometimes pretty good entertainment. Some of the funniest live comedy I've ever seen was on cruises, for example. Usually you can find some people to hang out with, slut it out on the dance floor at night, etc. And they tend to be pretty cheap. Sure it feels kind of "standardized" and there are some fat people in sight, but oh well. It's not the worst way to spend a few days. They take care of everything for you.
The ports of call are usually SPS tourist trap hellholes, but you can have some fun on these things, even the hilariously cheap carribbean cavival cruises. xoxo is wrong about this, and I do a lot of traveling the more traditional way as well. |

Date: June 19th, 2019 4:16 PM Author: Cerebral dull dilemma ok this is important perspective
do you have to wait in line for shit a lot with huge fat people?
does it generally feel crowded on the boat? |
|
Date: June 19th, 2019 4:20 PM Author: Magical ratface mental disorder other than my viking cruise (small river boat) last year, I haven't been on one in a really long time.
wait in line? Sometimes, yeah. But not for everything
feel crowded? not always, some of these boats are enormous |

Date: June 19th, 2019 4:34 PM Author: black senate codepig on and off the boat is really where the lines are bad. there are like 50 bars throughout the boat so you don't have to fight people to get drinks.
oh and people get up at 5am to stake claim on pool chairs right by the pool. the best chairs anyways are on the upper decks in random spots that no one ever takes so whatever. |

Date: June 19th, 2019 4:17 PM Author: cocky newt kitchen my parents took me and my brother on a cruise once, around the time of the Columbine massacre. it was one of those Carnival cruises which are incredibly boring for kids not of drinking age. so we ended up just roaming around and playing arcade games and shit. but my parents made us "make friends" with this big mouthbreather kid that would not leave us alone for the remainder of the journey. we would actually wake up in our cabin and hear this kid breathing heavily outside the door, waiting for us to make our appearance. I haven't been on a cruise ever since. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4285919&forum_id=2#38411760) |

Date: June 19th, 2019 6:07 PM Author: Razzle Iridescent Cuckold My parents are prole, so they've treated my wife and I to a few cruises. Usually some gigantic boat on Royal Caribbean or Princess Cruise lines and we always ended up having a blast. You just get drunk all day and chill by the pool. Food is surprisingly good and if you splurge for a suite with a decent balcony it's 180. Just sit out and watch the ocean with a glass of whiskey in hand. At night, there's tons of entertainment and fun shit to do. Usually go to dinner, a show and then stumble on stage for some karaoke or participate in trivia or whatever. Then, after you rawdog the wife/gf, you can call room service at 3am to bring you a pizza/burger etc. Wake up at 9am, hit the gym to detox the filth, and then reload on the booze/food again.
Having said that, our last cruise, and first with our kids, was a nightmare. On the third night of a 7 night cruise our youngest shit himself at dinner and then had constant explosive diarrhea and vomiting all night. By lunchtime the next day, my older son and I had come down with the Norovirus too and couldn't leave the room. Then my wife got sick and they ended up quarantining all of us to the room for the next three days. These two dudes in hazmat suits would come every few hours to change our sheets and disinfect the place and have some laughs at our expense. We were all sick for an additional two days after getting off the boat. Good times. |

Date: June 19th, 2019 6:56 PM Author: Razzle Iridescent Cuckold It was three years ago, so I must have shared it on here. It was a top-5 worst experience of my life. But I always did have a blast on cruises prior to that; probably, more than anything, because they served as family reunions with aunts/uncles/cousins etc. from Buffalo.
I noted in response to a poast above that were finally giving it another shot next year. Doing a 4 day Halloween Disney cruise. Hoping we have better luck since it won't be flu season yet. |
