Well, the other advantage of cruising is no flights. Flying means two days of your vacation is hell.

Well, that's the joy of being in Europe. I can take a road trip to Spain or France or Morocco, and I can fly to England or Italy in less than three hours.

And how do you get to the cruise ship if you don't live in the port city? Never been on a cruise ship and never will be. A small sailboat or river boat, yes. A cruise ship, absolutely not.

Even a 1 hour flight means being in the airport...I hate all of it.

Forbes is spinning “a misleading tale of what it takes to become wealthy in America.” Most of the Forbes 400, like Mitt Romney, have benefited from a level of privilege unknown to the vast majority of Americans.

Most of our super rich were born on third base and think they hit a triple.

Those “born on first base” — in upper-class families, with inheritances up to $1 million — make up 22 percent of the 400. On “second base,” from households wealthy enough to generate inheritances over $1 million, UFE found another 11.5 percent.

On “third base,” with inherited wealth of more than $50 million, sits 7 percent of America’s 400 richest. Last but not least, is the “born on home plate” crowd. These high-rollers, 21.25 percent of the total Forbes list, all inherited enough to “earn” their Forbes 400 status.

Forbes, the United for a Fair Economy researchers sum up, has glamorized the myth of the “self-made man” and minimized “the many other factors that enable wealth,” including tax breaks and other government policies that help the really rich get ever richer.

It is very much a caste system.

If you avoid the buffets you'll be fine. The restaurant style places are generally amazing. Of course checking out the human safari is in some ways part of the appeal.

You can poast on cruises too. Sit down with your beer and tell the libs all about the glorious views you are seeing. Or challenge them to fistfights on Tortola or something.

Sounds like a nightmare. I'd rather have a party in a library.

Another one??

Yeah, but it's all over in a few hours. You can't get off a cruise ship when it's out at sea. You cannot get off. OMG. No thanks.

There was a tropical storm that made people sea sick. I thought the whole do this now and that next scheduling tourist shit was awful. Who wants to be herded around and told what they're to do for days on end while on vacation?

I think cruises are really for conservatives. They don't like having to think for themselves, and they appreciate it when someone takes over and tells them what to do.

The cruise ruined your marriage?

It couldnt possibly be you, I suppose. Because you are too deeply intelligent and enlightened. Clearly....it was the honeymoon cruise.

[Lily]

Its definately not my thing but I can see why people would enjoy it.

I have been on a number of cruises in the Caribbean. They are a lot of fun. I have crawled through bat caves in Belize and wandered around Mayan ruins in Cozumel...and done a lot of other cool shit...on cruise excursions.

They are an experience and I do not think people can accurately imagine what they are like - you gotta do it to know.

The food is so fukkin good. And unlimited.

They are one of the few family vacations that's still affordable too. I mean I love really cheap style travel too but I can't stay in hostels with my kid right?

Yeah, but there are cruises and there are cruises. Are you saying you did that from one of those giant ships with thousands of passengers that leave behind a trail of destruction? Those fucking ships that finally got banned from Venice because they are literally destroying the city?

And you can stay in Airbnbs with your kid and even have access to a kitchen.

Spend too much in the same place together. Get on each other's nerves after a while. Even boat lovers have told me this is a problem with people they knew well.

That's why a private jet would be better.

Maybe ya shoulda taken 1 instead Holliday. Marriage might a turned out better, eh.

You say that like there's something wrong with that. Of course, I guess to an illiterate like you, it seems like torture.

I suppose calling it a party is a bit of a stretch, especially considering you and your mum were the only people who attended.

Oh, spoken like a true idiot who doesn't understand that there are literally millions upon millions of people who are smarter than you and appreciate books and libraries.

Who the hell has a birthday party in a library though? Weirdo.

I don't actually know. That was your fantasy, not mine.

Why would that post confuse you? I never had a party in a library. That was your fantasy. Although now that you've brought it up, I think it would be a really cool place to have a party. There's this library in Portugal, for instance:

A lot of people don't seem to do their research before they go to a new place. They show up, pay for a tour and are indeed herded like flocks of sheep. The very visible ones here are the tourists from China following a tour guide with a little flag around.

They were always ill suited to Venice. I have gone to Alaska and a couple of times in the Caribbean because it left from New York. Really it would be impossible to get such a good value anywhere else.

If I lived in Florida, I would go on a 5 day cruise every once in a while if I wanted a short break, even if I did not do any excursions it would be worth it for the food. I rarely use the buffet - I prefer the formal meals for supper and the taco bar type places for lunch. But I will use the buffet for a snack. But I have friends who we have cruised with who like to go to the buffet for supper about half the time.

 

[The Prowler]

Well, the other advantage of cruising is no flights. Flying means two days of your vacation is hell.

I have to fly to cruise. We have always gone a day or two early and stayed in a hotel for a night or two. It is all worth it since we are always escaping a Canadian winter.

 

[The Prowler]

It sounds like you might have a mental disorder. I am quit comfortable being on a ship in the middle of the sea. My wife and I have even considered a trans-Atlantic cruise trip.

 

[The Prowler]

I thought the whole do this now and that next scheduling tourist shit was awful. Who wants to be herded around and told what they're to do for days on end while on vacation?

What kind of cruise was that? Something where they schedule everything for you? That is the type of cruise that old people who cannot plan anything for themselves take.

That is not how most cruises are and is not anything like any cruise I was ever on.

Why the fuck would you sign-up for something like that? Hahahahaha!!!!

 

[The Prowler]

Exactly. Yuck.

Apparently you are also clueless.

I should have known...

 

[The Prowler]

I think cruises are really for conservatives. They don't like having to think for themselves, and they appreciate it when someone takes over and tells them what to do.

For all but one port (a port on the first cruise we were on, we went on a snorkelling excursion sold by the cruise line) that I have been in, I researched and planned my own excursion. I pick the attractions I want to experience and plan it at home before leaving. We do some of the coolest shit there is to do at every location. Sometimes I utilize public transportation. Sometimes I rent a car. Sometimes I get a couple of taxi rides. And sometimes I hire a driver.

You always seem to be talking about things that you know nothing about.

 

[The Prowler]

Airbnb's are a great alternative way to travel for families. We use them.

Millions of people use them. I have used a bunch of them in the USA and Canada. I have also used hotels and motels. I have also used KOA cabins which are awesome, especially the deluxe cabins with kitchens. I have also rented other awesome cabins and cottages.

I have also slept in tents.

One of the most important things about a vacation is to go with cool people. It does not matter where you are staying if your travel companions are whiny assholes.

 

[The Prowler]

A lot of people don't seem to do their research before they go to a new place. They show up, pay for a tour and are indeed herded like flocks of sheep.

Yeah, lazy and stupid people do not do their research and end up doing some lame tour with another bunch of DFTs.

Which is why LettuceButt should stay away from cruises. Or any other vacation, for that matter.
