The Trip

unfortunately, nothing quite that clean BigV.

Pie, We were on Royal Caribbean this time. To be honest it wasn't the best ship in the fleet. hell, it is probably the one that speared the whale from IOTD awhile back. I remember RC being much nicer in the Caribbean. In fact, the Carnival ships I've been on recently were much nicer than this one.

I did forget to mention one of the laughable (for us) highlights of the trip. Everywhere we went, restrooms were hard to come by, disgusting when you found them, and you had to pay someone standing outside to enter. With all of that one must keep in mind that my wife is A) not very patient, B) very capable of hanging with the boys, C) not easily embarrassed. the lines for the women's restrooms were unbelievably long while the mensroom lines were maybe one or 2 people long at most. my wife would stand in line with me and use the mensroom before me. the other women would point and gawk and fume - but we didn't spend our trip standing in line for the pisser.

one question to any european who is peeking in here- where are the toilet seats? male or female restroom doesn't matter, there was not one single toilet seat in the entire region. (not that you would ever sit on one anyway)

Lucky you weren't on Carnival, perhaps...

Carnival ships join Katrina effort
CARNIVAL Cruise Lines has chartered three of its cruise ships to the US government to serve as a temporary home for victims of Hurricane Katrina. The six-month charter was arranged by the Military Sealift Command on behalf of the Federal Emergency Management Agency for an undisclosed price, according to a Carnival statement. The vessels Ecstasy and Sensation, each with a capacity of 2,606 passengers, will be docked in Galveston with effect from today and the 1,800-passenger Holiday will be docked at Mobile from Thursday under the initial plan. In apologising to guests who had planned cruises on the ships, company president and chief executive Bob Dickinson said: "Given that Hurricane Katrina is the worst natural disaster in US history, we trust our guests will understand that the decision to enter into these charters was the right one. This inconvenience to our guests will provide desperately needed housing for thousands of individuals affected by this tragedy= 2E" Carnival adds that the itineraries of two other ships, Carnival Conquest and Elation will be modified because of the storm and the three-ship charter.
