I'm back...

You know...in case anybody cares.

The cruise was awesome. I was looking forward to it, but really didn't know what to expect. Without a doubt, the trip exceeded my expectations by a long shot.

If you want to take a cruise, I recommend Carnival's Spirit class ships. They're huge. Really, the thing dwarfed any other cruise ship we came across. Great service on board, too. Oh, and something like 80% of the staterooms have balconies. That's cool as hell. We weren't supposed to have one, but we got 'upgraded.'

We actually spent Christmas day in Cozumel, Mexico. We were supposed to 'Snuba' (like snorkeling, but with a long air hose to the surface so you can go 20ft down) that day, but high winds and rough water prevented it. Poo.

Before you ask, I didn't get sick on the boat. I got sick, actually, when I got home. I woke up Sunday night, threw up a few times, and couldn't even hold down water yesterday. This morning I woke up, felt fine, and came to work. Weird.

Anyway, I hope everybody enjoyed their vacations, or is still enjoying them.

I won't say publicly. Ask my brother - he was with us and he's not married.

My friend was on that cruise at the end of November, and couldn't stop raving about the food, the beaches, the clear water and the fish in it.

He also didn't pay much either, since it was one of those clearance specials... Something like $300US including the port taxes for the week, plus tips, plus airfare.

glad to hear that you had a nice time

about getting sick though...there has been a real big problem with ppl getting sick on cruise ships, not on the ships but after they land and the days after. you get violently ill for a day or two and it goes away like nothing happened. they haven't found the cause of it. i am just glad that you are feeling better....

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

Nick,

Congratulations, and well done.

Having (Heaving?) spent 4 years in our U.S. Navy, I must say that I envy you. I enjoyed nary a sec at sea. At the sound of the 'cast off' whistle, I generally got real green, and stayed that way until my toes once again touched terra firma. I would give a lot to spend one good day at sea.

The cast off 'whistle' was more of a deafening horn that echoes with incredible power between two ten-story steel boats. We were in the security line between our ship, the Pride, and another Carnival ship, Inspiration, when three long blasts guaranteed that we wouldn't hear the 'Vegas-style show' that night.

No, really, I didn't have a problem with the constant motion of the ship. The only thing that's ever made me motion-sick was, go figure, a video game. Dark Forces for the PC. Made me really, really sick every time I played it. Weird...

I drank some bottled water in Belize, but other than that the only water I drank was on the ship or from the several liters of Dasani that we bought in Key West.

I spent a week on Cozumel several years ago. 5 days diving and having the time of my life and the last 2 days puking in a hotel toilet.

FYI, the day the cruise ships come to the island, all the local eating establishments change to menus with much higher prices. Those islanders got this stuff down......

That's not surprising - I'd do that if I were them.

There were nine ships there on Christmas day, the day we were in town. Our cab driver said that the next day there would be 15.
