: I do not have any info re: cruise ships or there private adventure islands.
: I can tell you thought that the cruise industry is sleazy. The dump their trash in the beautiful ocean. They float around fat people that love all you can eat buffets. They shelter tourists from the real culture of the islands.
: You are not going to the Bahamas. You are going to a floating obesity vessel. The people you will be with are the same types that are at happy hour at the localbar - except on the fat boat, it is always happy hour.
: Cruise ship? How about calling it the LOAF BOAT?
: The PM is officially at war with the cruise industry.
: Official saying of 2001 'You cruise, you lose.'
: FYI: Did you know that 45% of males between the ages of 19 and 34 that take cruises have mullets? It is true.
: Want a hillbilly holiday - TAKE A CRUISE!!!
PARTYMAN: YOUR RESPONSE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF YOUR ELITIST ATTITUDE. THERE ARE
MANY HARDWORKING "MIDDLE CLASS" CITIZENS (OF VARIOUS CULTURES) WHO
FIND A CRUISE TO BE FUN AND WITHIN THEIR BUDGETS. THEY ARE NOT "HILLBILLIES"
BUT JUST "ORDINARY" PEOPLE ...MANY RETIRED, ON LIMITED INCOMES, AND NOT
OVERWEIGHT AS YOU IMPLY...WHO FIND THE CONVENIENCE OF CRUISING
TO BE A RELAXING MANNER OF TRAVEL.
IT IS NICE TO KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT ENJOY CRUISING. THAT MEANS
THAT A LARGE SEGMENT OF THE POPULACE IS SPARED YOUR
SUPERCILIOUS AND ELITIST ATTITUDE.
