P-C - how many days would this cruise take? any land excursions, or would you have to stay on the boat the entire time? would you be able to have a room of your own, or share with a stranger? And, most importantly - would you be able to go off in a corner and read if you wanted or would togetherness be enforced?

I can never decide if I would love a cruise or not. I love the idea of being in a corner and watching the sea, but I'm also in the camp of "I will strangle you, Cruise Director Minion, if you suggest another insipid mingling opportunity."

Enforced togetherness can be hell.

And they recenly were broadcasting the Addams family movies ... I'm reminded of when Wednesday and Pugsley were sent off to camp. I suppose setting the boat on fire if they tried to force you into some sort of group activity would be a bit much. Not to mention fatal.

P-C - how many days would this cruise take?

It's just for the weekend, very short. Miami to the Bahamas. I figure the boat goes to the Bahamas on Friday, we Bahama it up over the weekend, and then we boat back on Monday. But the flyer has absolutely zero details because whatever, we're Indian, we don't know how to make websites (spoiler warning: there is no "more info" anywhere).

would you be able to have a room of your own, or share with a stranger?

It looks like everyone has roomies.

I...I hope so?

I've actually enjoyed the cruises I've gone on with my family. But I had my brother to hang out with.

Well, almost anything's endurable for a weekend. You might get a nice nerd for a roommate. Would the cost be prohibitive?

The cost of the cruise seems to be pretty cheap. It's getting to Miami that's expensive, although it looks like I have enough FF miles to do it.

Look at it this way, your normal routines have not yet yielded a girl, so doing something out-of-the-ordinary, might be just the thing. Couldn't hurt, anyway.

That would be my deal breaker. But if you can get through that and want to have more Indians in your life and possibly to date, consider it.

Yeah, that's sort of what I'm looking at. It could be a fun, ridiculous adventure. Looks like I can take a red-eye to Miami and, I don't know, look for Dexter until the boat leaves. We don't have any Buffistas in Miami, do we?

Isn't Laura in the Keys?

P-C, just about anything is bearable for a weekend. At the very least, sun, ocean, swimming, decent food? Can't be all bad and could be a lot of fun. I say do it!
