Where are all the passengers going to park their cars while on the cruise?
How long will it take to get on and/or off the ship? |

I went on a 7 day Eastern Caribbean aboard the Oasis of the Seas. There were 6500 passengers aboard and even during days at sea I felt like I never saw more than 25-50 in one place at a time.
These ships are so big, and there is so much to do at so many locations on board that I hardly saw anybody. The only place that was busy was the main dining room at dinner time. I would recommend a cruise to everyone. |

I just got thing in the mail the other day from National Geographic cruises. Now those look cool. There's one where you're on an icebreaker cruise with I think 250 passengers or so.

Triggering my claustrophobia and hatred of crowds. Why would anyone ever pay to be in that situation?

The trans-Atlantic on Symphony will be even better as there will be very few kids. Norwegian Epic on the other hand.... |

As someone that hates crowds of more than five or so people, the thought of being on a boat with 8000 people gives me the willies.

Being trapped on a ship with 8000 People of Walmart is a horror movie, not a vacation... View Quote It's the same reason that the nicest and most expensive ski resorts have the most polite guests. The trash is priced out. |

Nice timing. Only two weeks to the Titanic anniversary!
I've been on a few cruises, but the ships were grey, we all had to dress alike, and the food wasn't great. Oh, and no women. |

Look at that thing. 228,000 tonnes is twice the size of a Nimitz supercarrier. View Quote Carriers are measured by their displacement tonnage which coincides with the weight of the water actually displaced by the ship while afloat. In order to overstate their comparison to other massive vessels, cruise ships are described by means of their "gross tonnage" which isn't a measurement of the ship's weight, but is actually a measure of it's interior volume as calculated by a formula. My guess is that the displacement tonnage of the Oasis Class cruise ships is between 90,000 and 110,000 tons, or roughly the same as a Nimitz. |

You take a minimum 7 day cruise, but preferably 10 day or 14 if it's available. The longer the cruise, the more expensive it is, and the fewer trashy people will be on it. Stay away from the 3 day cruises like the plague. It's the same reason that the nicest and most expensive ski resorts have the most polite guests. The trash is priced out. View Quote |

I've never understood the attraction of what amounts to a floating Las Vegas strip. Would much rather be camping somewhere remote with friends and family.

Being trapped on a ship with 8000 People of Walmart is a horror movie, not a vacation... View Quote Mrs Rabinowitz and I have been on 4 cruises together (she went on more with her late husband). We have done two Carnivals out of Galveston, a Princess to Alaska out of Seattle, and a Norwegian around the HI Islands. All have been fun. Alaska was rough but the scenery was spectacular. Carnivals have their ups and downs.....but they are still fun. Norwegian was very sedate. The excitement was flying over the volcano in a chopper. I’m ready to go again. But Mrs R started HRT. The idea of being trapped in a room with a 60-year-old red head with raging hormones is frightening.....in a happy way. |
