Cruise for all the booze (well, after you fork over a few hundred)?

thursdaysd, thank you!

Shop till you drop, cruise till you snooze! Perfect :D

Just booked Holland Am for 22 days late September. Less than $100/day. How can you not do it?

Very easily.

June 4, $349 Diamond Princess Alaksa Northbound. 7 days. Wow!

See my new topic about cruising and how the cruise lines screw their employees and the environment.

Kenav, you are dead wrong!

Explain "screw their employees" when the ships are providing employments at a much higher wage than what the staff are getting from their home country? And how do you explain the crew from countries like Canada, Australia, UK etc? If the wages are so low, why are they there?

As to the enviroment, we are the most guilty of polluting the enviroment with our carbon emission and the wasteful consumerism, filling up landfills with reusable goods. Stop driving your car and running the AC in your house before we start going down the enviroment path. Stop applying double standard or take some author's word as gospel. Have an open mind and do your own research!

"If the wages are so low why are they there"? Tips and they need a job.

I don't drive a car.

I have a friend who spent several years working on a cruise ship and LOVED it. Her wages were substantially lower than what she had earned doing similar work in the U.S. (she's a hairdresser), but she got substantial tips, and her living expenses were very low, so she was able to bank most of what she made, and she got to to travel to places that she might otherwise never have gone too.

Everyone needs a job, unless you are independenty wealthy (the 1%) or you are retired. Even retirees have jobs: volunteering and giving back to the community.

Kenav, good for you on taking public transit or ride a bike and not owning a car. It works for city slickers but for us poor sap plain rural folks, not owning a car is not an option, unless they allow us to tie our horses on big city streets. :D
