I read cruise reviews for fun to gain insight into people's lives and it's sort of anthropological, but a lot of the ship owners seem really scammy and willing to do shady things for money.

The concept of packing thousands on a boat is just unseemly.

Anyone who willingly enters such an arrangement is militantly hylic.

there are major norovirus outbreaks 1-2 a year, it'll be fine. The countries blocking the ship are comically over-reaticting to a virus where even if person to person transmission is possible, it's pretty hard to do.

There is one ocean liner left, not a cruise ship; no casinos or pools or shit. Just passage from the uk to the us. I wanted to go on it some day.
Oh well.

>>2880563
Why the fuck are rich people paying multiple tens of thousands of dollars to be on a floating hotel that docks in 3rd world shitholes anyway?

>>2880656
Orgies and swingers, unironically.

>>2880654
It has pools and a casino, it's just faster and more robust than a cruise ship.

>thing only found by eating infected animals or animal feces can transfer this to humans
Okay so the ship had some piss poor health management and killed a white person rather than the nogs they kill yearly.

Wtf I want to go for a cruise now

>>2880677
No you don't, imagine 4-5 out of 10's thinking they are 9's usually overweight and the only ones in orgies or swingers are the +40's just together and on the cruise "for the kids".

It’s fun. And it’s also vacationing on easy mode. All you really have to worry about is getting to and from the port. And once you’re on board, the only stress you’ll experience is the stress on your waistband from the food.

Just…avoid the short Carnival cruises, unless you like watching drunks and shouty black people.

It's just an inferior version of going to one of those big all inclusive resorts in Mexico.

It just makes me wonder if enough of America is secretly alcoholic to make a boat where essentially the only thing to do is drink appealing.

It's prounounced "Hentai"

>Will this officially kill the Cruise Ship industry?
i think plenty of cruise passengers have never heard of hanta virus, and even more will forget about it in a month

sometimes yes and sometimes no. I worked on cruises in University. Some of the port stops are pretty great, but others are in the middle of buttfuck nowehere or in some industrial container port or both. They will say they dock in Rome but then you end up in Civitivecchia. Check the routes, check the ports, but also check where they dock and for how long you will be there. It is pretty brutal to pull up and figure you are just going to be able to walk out to whatever and realize you are stuck trying to get to where you would like or only having a couple of hours if it all to do anything.

Cruise ship riders are NPCs. They're chickens in a cage and they don't think about anything. Just give them alcohol and they're happy. You could announce they're all being killed in 2 days and none would even think about it.

>>2880563
no

I have *got* to find a cheap slut girlfriend for cruises.

>An average cruise costs about $150 to $300 per person, per day. For a standard 7-day trip, base fares range from $700 to $1,500 per person, bringing the total to roughly $1,500 to $2,500 once you factor in onboard spending and extras.

Docking at some peaceful Mediterranean town with my 1000 Amerimutt compatriots must be what it feels like to arrive by boat at the English coast as an illegal African

I went down a big cruise rabbithole. I also thought they were just NPC floating theme parks but that’s only on segment of the market. Cunard, Viking, and Silversea all seem more upmarket, no waterslides and pool parties, and they have onboard libraries and lectures. I want to go on a (nice) cruise desu.
