Jew Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 ^I have a feeling it won't be operating much at sea anyways. Just seems like something that won't be able to handle any sort of wind or rough sea conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Id guess this ship has really good stabilizers though, and even in rougher weather, it could just rise and not go over the side of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 We leave for our Cruise of the Living Dead in two days! (yep .. . we're going on Holland America with my Parents and Brother/SiL) It's a very port intensive itinerary, but I've loaded up the kindle for Sea days, as it looks like there's really NOTHING to do (other than Trivia, Bingo, or Casino) on those days. whee! but at least we're all in suites, so i'm looking forward to it.

Midgetman82 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 That North Star looks quite unnerving, but the entire ship looks absolutely incredible! Indoor pool with retractable roofing, bumper cars, the restaurants, and the amount of space on the ship! I'm certain when it's parked, it gets it's own zip code.

bert425 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 ^ Yeah, I'm looking forward to hearing how this one goes for you guys. we're planning on drinking. . a LOT. I mean. .. it's super port intensive, and it's places we've always wanted to go. and we're in suites. so there's that. but there's just no way around the fact we're gonna be on a ship full of really old, mostly white, Republicans, during Election Day. (I would have said old-skool racist in there too. . but don't want to generalize it. . .tho I'm sure I'm right. My 75 year old Mother insists that she is not racist and she doesn't hate Obama because of his skin color. . . but then yesterday told me (with not a drop of irony, or awareness) that they weren't notifying the Guard of their gated Community that they were leaving, because "I don't trust him. . he's (whisper) black). edit: HAL has informed us the Cruise is SOLD OUT (I guess they easily filled the spots vacated by the people afraid of EBOLA (and yeah. .there were a ton of em on a cruising site I joined to follow the Holland America boards). . . besides talk of EBOLA was a gigantic concern about folks not dressing up on Formal Nights, and exactly which cheeses are on the "Cheese plate". seriously. . .like 5 threads just on that!

Meteornotes Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 ^Ok, based on all that, I demand that you take really good notes so you can properly tell the stories when you return. Sounds like you're going to have a lot of fun and see aand hear all sorts of interesting things. And really old drunk people are often amazing story tellers. Trust me on this. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Elissa, you guys should try and get TPR onto the Media list for these things! I mean, a cruise ship IS a floating theme park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
