Default Vette Barn Tour Bus or Cruise Ship

Just think of all of us VB members, trapped in close proximity for days on end with no escape route. Either on a tour bus or on a cruise ship. With audio of GrandSportC3 and RedLS1GTO bickering about EV's over the P. A. system the entire time.
Maybe a cruise ship would be better, due to no way to bail as you started to lose your marbles.....you'd have to stick it out. We could have dodgeball, boxing, skeet shooting off the stern, etc.

Just a bunch of like-minded, easy-going people out for a cruise. Listening to the soothing sounds of "**** TESLA! **** YOU!" and "Never mind that, if your percentages line up, and you are not in Austria, it goes to show that..." over the PA, 24/7.
VB members under 60 must go un-armed
VB members over 60 get to carry pepper spray for self defense purposes
VB members over 70 get to carry pistols for self defense purposes

Sound viable?? Just think of sitting at a dinner table with Yadkin, Big Bob, Critterus, GTOguy, Slewfoot (**** that guy), Lars, Frankie, BadCad, Anjdog ,Bruze, and on and on.
What an interesting trip it would be. Hell, Louie Detroit could even host a radio repair class.

Of course, all of the formerly suspended VB members would be encouraged to participate. StoryTellerStealth, Ill Duce, RealBadger, etc.

If everyone decides to meet up and cruise out of Port Everglades, the bestest seaport in the world offering the most options, I would buy the first lunch onboard.

If someone was pointing a gun at me, and told me to get on a cruise ship or they would shoot me, I think I would choose getting shot.

Interesting I did two cruises sponsored by the NCM. The first one was a 2 week Alaska land and Sea cruise (2004). We had a 100 Vette people on board. Spent a lot of time talking to Wendel Stroud and also past chief engineer Dave McLellan! The cruise was set up that we had good accommodations and plenty of fun. Way too much booze and plenty of decent food!

The second 2 week cruise a couple years later was South to Mexico and South America. Again a great bunch of people and a very good time.

Yeah, me too, I have only been on four cruises.

Best one was a family one, 50+ of us, did a lot of late night drinking each night after the wifey and kiddies called it a day
Each night in bar until 3 AM when they kicked us out; also paid $200 for a round of golf on a shit course in Grand Cayman, but it was still fun.

The only way I would cruise again if I knew I had enough doods to keep me company at the bar until it closed; the food and the shows are for the ladies.

It depends upon how far, and how willing you are to travel. Viking River Cruises will take you on scenic cruises along The Rhine and there are fjords to explore. If you are planning a trip to Europe, you could look into these. I have only been on one cruise and that was with Princess Cruise Lines to the West Indies. It left from San Juan. It was great!

It is the lower-tier of pricing, thus the lowest-end passengers.
Pretty certain carnival gives you an additional 85% discount if you can prove your primary is on wheels, or you have a bingo card from the last trailer park event.

13% of the country gets a 87% discount, or something like that, it looks like.

My wife and I have done 16 cruises, most of them at least 2 weeks in duration.

We have used Royal Caribbean for 6 cruises and Princess for the rest, that includes the two NCM cruises I mentioned before. No way in hell do I want to go on a Carnival or Disney ship.

When my son at 22 got married I sent him and his new wife on a Carnival Ship as a honeymoon present but they were much younger and of course had a good time with that company.
