Sailing...Takes Me Away...

from this crapfest.

I'm leaving on Thursday for a cruise. I'll hop aboard the Ecstasy and ride that big mamma jamma to Cozumel and back.

This will be my first cruise and I'm not sure what to expect. Everyone tells me it's mostly just eating and if that's true, then I'm good with that.

I'm not sure how I'll feel about being "trapped" on a ship for several days but if all else fails, I can plug in my iPod, grab a book and read under the Mexican stars.

Anyway, I'll be back (hopefully) next week. I'm hoping I won't become a story on Primetime or 20/20 after I fall overboard and the cruise line tries to cover it up. I might have to skip the binge drinking.

As anyone with norovirus will tell you, just remember to be very clean. When you've got that many people in one place, it can get nasty. Bring some of that antibacterial hand lotion.

In all honesty, you couldn't pay me to take a cruise. It's like being on a floating boat of death and disease.

Being the germophobe I am, you just scared the shit out of me.
Great. I don't think I can get a refund now.

I wonder if I can wear sterile latex gloves at all times?

Cruise ships were designed for binge drinkers.
Tips: always get off at the Ports even if you are not going on a paying tour
Pay for at least one shore excursion and go on it
If you visit every 'place' on the boat everyday (casino,movie place, all pools, workout place etc etc) you can walk off the food, which won't be as good as you dreamed but better than you expected.
Use a condom. Have fun.

Girl, bring bottled water. The water on cruise ships is NASTY.
