The Dream? Or the Nightmare? (or why I may give up cruising?)

First time I read it as well. Still can't stop laughing.

Glad you enjoyed it!:D

Love this! Great writing about a unique adventure - my first time reading it, so I appreciate its being brought back. Glad SailorJack and Jill are still sailing the high seas!

Thanks...it was a rather unique sailing.:D

please post reviews across all lines you have sailed in

I caught the Dream/nightmare review brought back in Norwegian forum and realised missed your latest review!

you inspired me to post reviews post cruise in a lighthearted manner

please also post your future cruises so we have a chance of cruising with you

I am sure you and my husband will get on very well together and Jill and I will share mutual commiserations

"So there we sat. A free open bar, lights ablaze, and the band playing on while we noted that our ship now held the record for the most Japanese tonnage sunk since 1945."

Best line in a cruise report ever.

All my reviews are in my signature...just expand it to see them. Latest review is on the Celebrity board. Next up is in January on Princess. I will have to go back and look at your reviews - I always enjoy reviews with a little humor. Thanks for your comments.

It was a memorable night. I am sure the ship ran out of liquor as the bars started closing around 10:00.:(

That was a great line, but I liked the one where he said that he had signed on for a glass bottom boat ride in the Falklands so he could see the Argentinian Navy.

During the war a British submarine sank the Argentine cruiser "General Belgrano," I think that was the last naval engagement of the war. It would have been interesting to see.

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. I haven't laughed this much reading a review in a long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I'm slowly reading your different reviews. I laughed so hard I had to stop & wipe the tears from my eyes. Between the "Queen Mary" & this one I can only imagine what the rest are like. Keep them coming.

I just assumed that he was laughing so hard he hit some keys on his keyboard by mistake. I've probably made that mistake a few times while reading your reviews as well.

Looking forward to your Princess review in January.

How did I miss this in the past? Kudos! I will seek out some the others.

Could be.:D I looked up Dxx on the internet, but the result was a video game.

Fifteen years later and this is still hilarious. I found it by googling "Most Japanese Tonnage Sunk Since 1945 Cruise Critic"

Glad you enjoyed it.  Hope you like the one on Azamara - it was our first time for that cruise line and the itinerary was unique for us.

AND...

Lgdesign - thanks for your comment.  I had a lot of fun with the Dream review.
