Has anyone done a cruise?
Thinking of doing one at Xmas to Vanuatu, only really done one other cruise and that was from Athens to Venice but I was on a Contiki tour so don't remember much of it

Re: Has anyone done a cruise?
not done a cruise myself Paul but a few mates have. The rooms are tiny and smell bad. You don't want to spend any time in them at all, so don't pay a premium for an 'upper' deck room.
Apparently the entertainment is pretty good. Try and avoid a pensioner cruise though.....unless you have a hankerin' for a GILF.

Re: Has anyone done a cruise?
My wife and I went on a cruise in 2010 aboard the Pacific Sun. We had a great time and didnt get sick.
The rooms are not as bad as Gos Makes out. But be prepared for lots of down time where there is only time to relax and drink.
Make the most of the ports when you stop.

Re: Has anyone done a cruise?
love the youtube clip IMO the fella with the piano takes the cake,
was that the entertainment ??
I suppose if you find a ship with a race track on it it's OK

Re: Has anyone done a cruise?
Just got home today from a 10 day trip on the Pacific Pearl..
Had a GREAT time......Do It Paul, you will have a ball
Tip: Take plenty of $$ dough $$, drinks/cocktails etc can be a bit pricey
Food is all included in the price, tastes good and all you can eat.
So I'm an even fatter bastard now that can't fit into the leathers.
Duty Free = 2.2 ltrs of grog and 50 cigs WTF is that shit
I'll knock that over in a weekend.
