    Snerk!
    Another ride on a Disney cruise...y'all sure know how to live it up.

    Who said 'Disney', boy? But, my Army retirement check probably does
    beat that of a toilet brush boy.

    Think Norwegian Cruise Lines. Not Disney quality, but within about
    85%, I'd say.

    Cruise? Oouu. We are in Costa Rica, no cruise.

    Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Mexico.

    We did a Norwegian in the fall. Sailed out of Boston and up the 'nadian coast. Norwegian was good but the ports we stopped in weren't, except for Portland and Bar Harbor.

    We're doing another Norwegian this summer to Alaska. We'll be done with cruises after that.

    Have fun!

    Glad you told me. We were thinking of that cruise, now I can stop! If
    you sail out of Vancouver, you'll get to spend more time for
    excursions or just visiting. Leaving Seattle cost us tour time. When
    we stopped in Vancouver on the way back we had only about two hours on
    shore. Just enough to visit the Customs office.

    We are not fans of cruises.

    Well, for your info, we renewed our passports last fall that had expired. I plan to take a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean soon. Just making sure Covid is under control and I pick a good safe clean cruise line. Since the wife is half Norwegian I'll
    probably lean to that company.
    Next question??

    Two times on NCL. Caught Covid the first time. Bad case of flu this
    last time. Had to be taken off in a wheelchair. Probably won't do NCL
    again. Be sure and take a lot of excursions to learn about the 'local
    culture'. Two of ours were cancelled because of the weather.

    No questions here. The fact that you think all there is to do onboard is play bingo or bowl tells me you have never been on a cruise. The reason for your passports likely was to get timely health care, when you could afford it or had to have it.

    Oh, BTW, "Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) is a holding company that is domiciled in Bermuda and based in the United States. It operates three cruise lines as wholly owned subsidiaries: Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, and Regent Seven
    Seas Cruises." Norwegian hasn't been "Norwegian" for nearly 25 years. One guy left and started Carnival (puke), and the other sold it in 2000. Not quite the flex or standup behavior you thought it was. But do give the US some of your loonies. :)

    If you do actually go, I highly suggest that you upgrade to a suite and get the dining package. Yes they nickel and dime you to death, but the room, amenities, and food is much better than the standard fare. After the Alaska trip we're done unless we
    decide to do a Panama Canal trip. I doubt I could get my wife on a flight to Europe to do a European river cruise. She hates long flights. Restless legs.


    I certainly do realize that different cruise ships offer different activities. >For the John, a seniors cruise where bingo and bowling top the list or when he regresses, a Disney cruise where he can follow around and fawn over his favourite cartoon characters.
    For me, adventure type cruises on smaller ships would be ideal.

    Then why wasted your time thinking of NCL? Those are not 'smaller
    ships'. You display your ignorance continuously.

    Close, Justine.
    A former boss lady was/is on that island running a fishing charter business.. but I haven't heard about her for years. The buddy you talk about was in the British Virgin Islands. Health concerns brought him back home a half dozen years ago and
    although he dreams about getting a boat to live on up here reality says his next stop will be seniors assisted living.

    Hey, he could move in with you! Maybe between the 3 of you, all y'all can figure out how to back a trailer. Eh?

    LOL!

    I looked at about 50 cruises there, but couldn't find the right link.

    Cruise? Oouu. We are in Costa Rica, no cruise.
    Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, Mexico.
    Cozumel?
    Yeah. I stay on the ship, especially if we have to tender in.

    SNERK!
    Yeah, better to stay on board playing bingo or bowling than trying to absorb local culture.
    What cruises have you been on? Let me guess - none.
    Well, for your info, we renewed our passports last fall that had expired. I plan to take a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean soon. Just making sure Covid is under control and I pick a good safe clean cruise line. Since the wife is half Norwegian I'll
    probably lean to that company.
    Next question??
    No questions here. The fact that you think all there is to do onboard is play bingo or bowl tells me you have never been on a cruise. The reason for your passports likely was to get timely health care, when you could afford it or had to have it.

    Oh, BTW, "Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) is a holding company that is domiciled in Bermuda and based in the United States. It operates three cruise lines as wholly owned subsidiaries: Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises, and Regent Seven
    Seas Cruises." Norwegian hasn't been "Norwegian" for nearly 25 years. One guy left and started Carnival (puke), and the other sold it in 2000. Not quite the flex or standup behavior you thought it was. But do give the US some of your loonies. :)

    If you do actually go, I highly suggest that you upgrade to a suite and get the dining package. Yes they nickel and dime you to death, but the room, amenities, and food is much better than the standard fare. After the Alaska trip we're done unless we
    decide to do a Panama Canal trip. I doubt I could get my wife on a flight to Europe to do a European river cruise. She hates long flights. Restless legs.


    I certainly do realize that different cruise ships offer different activities.
    For the John, a seniors cruise where bingo and bowling top the list or when he regresses, a Disney cruise where he can follow around and fawn over his favourite cartoon characters.
    For me, adventure type cruises on smaller ships would be ideal.

    Then why wasted your time thinking of NCL? Those are not 'smaller
    ships'. You display your ignorance continuously.

    Even my little dick feels tight inside Justine's ass!

    Snerk!
    Another ride on a Disney cruise...y'all sure know how to live it up. >>>>> Who said 'Disney', boy? But, my Army retirement check probably does

    Think Norwegian Cruise Lines. Not Disney quality, but within about
    85%, I'd say.

    We did a Norwegian in the fall. Sailed out of Boston and up the 'nadian coast. Norwegian was good but the ports we stopped in weren't, except for Portland and Bar Harbor.

    We're doing another Norwegian this summer to Alaska. We'll be done with cruises after that.

    Have fun!

    Glad you told me. We were thinking of that cruise, now I can stop! If
    you sail out of Vancouver, you'll get to spend more time for
    excursions or just visiting. Leaving Seattle cost us tour time. When
    we stopped in Vancouver on the way back we had only about two hours on >>>shore. Just enough to visit the Customs office.

    ===

    We did the Alaska cruise several years ago on Princess Lines. On the >>advice of others we flew into Fairbanks via Seattle and Anchorage.
    From Fairbanks we did the land excursion south to Whittier and boarded
    ship there. It was a great trip, highly recommended.

    https://www.princess.com/en-us/cruise-destinations/alaska-cruises

    I looked at about 50 cruises there, but couldn't find the right link.
    That's what we're thinkin of next time. Could you please post the
    actual cruise link? Thanks!

    Due to Alaska's politics, they just don't offer all gay cruises
    anymore... how sad!

    We are not fans of cruises.

    I caught a hell of a flu bug and am thinking of giving them up. Last
    time it was Covid, and this was as bad or worse!

    Actually, it was AIDS. Oh well... I should let Justine know!
