you just get more bitter each day

But not so bitter that I quit posting in the politics thread for 2 years like you did...

Unfortunately for us...

That was my fault.

Is this the corned beef thread?

Princess cancels 4 months of cruises out of Galveston that were scheduled for Nov 2026 to Mar 2027.



I can't imagine it was very many refunds, not with this much warning. Disappointing but, whatever. I am sure those who were cancelled just rebooked elsewhere.

I doubt many Canadians or anybody else are planning any vacations that have anything to do with the US. But hey, we don't need friends. Just the big ol', good ol' US of A. Country boy can survive. Right?

If you took everyone in a wal-mart that eats at waffle house or Popeyes, you'd have the customer list for Carnival Cruises. Princess, owned by Carnival is a step up.

Oddly enough I did go on the Majestic Princess 2 years ago. It was not a good experience. The ship only had 1 fully powered motor.

Office sent you to deliver a sticky note to Aruba?

I saw an ad for some cruise line the other day, the dude was fat, balding and single, he kept emphasizing the all-you-can-eat and, esp., the all-you-can-drink aspect of the cruise. I think the actor was actually drunk, but that's probably exactly what they were going for...

MSC cruise line went all in on Orlando Bloom and Drew Barrymore to be the celebrity spokespeople for the purpose of expanding their US market share. Wife and I are diamond guests on MSC and will be Blue Diamond next year. Word has it that Princess might have made the decision to move their ship out of Galveston because MSC is Arriving.

Be sure to try the shrimp omelet

my kids still remember that

actually they remember dad having to shit every 20 minutes in the some of the worst public bathrooms in the bahamas

That's gotta be one of your all time worst decisions, along with not going through with the tiger pit in your yard for the neighborhood scofflaws

I liked the flood wall, designed to keep a horde of Mongolians out…
