Caribbean cruise. How much should it be?

[Admiral Yi]

Hey Seebrew, have you seen Zohan?

Hey Seebrew, have you seen Zohan?

Yeah. Didn't like it.

[Valmy]

Yeah. Didn't like it.

Why not?  What did you think of it?

[Siege]

It ridicule the israeli military, the special forces in particular.
The toughest guy wants to be a "hair-dresser"? (That's israeli code-speak for gay).
The movie's central message is that if we quit fighting terrorism (the girl's brother), terrorists will stop attacking us.
I mentally puked.
The worst part is of course the love interest with a palestinian woman.


Reminds me of an awfull israeli movie about a dude that came to america to go school (like if there were no schools in israel) and when he went back got drafted, and fell in love with an ugly palestinian chick from the territories. I forgot the name of that movie. Got some awards in Europe or something.


At least Don't mess with the Zohan was funny, I guess. My wife laughed a lot in the scenes with Zohan's parents. She says they are just like mine, saying that the Arab Wars were real wars, and that all the wars of my generation have been nothing more than skirmishes.

She's one of the hottest women I've ever seen.

Plus she (Emmanuelle Chriqui) is a Sephardi Jewess

Chriqui (pronounced like "shree-kee") was born in Montreal, Quebec, the daughter of Moroccan Jewish immigrants.[2][3] Her mother was born in Casablanca and her father in Rabat.[4] Chriqui has relatives in Israel[2] and her family practiced Orthodox Judaism in the Sephardic tradition.[5]

>$2000 for a balcony was a good price.  The Valor is one of their better ships.

I like balconies, once you've balconied it's hard to go non-balcony.

Really? Thanks man. I really hate spending more money than I need to.
I got the cheapest balcony, so I didn't get to choose the deck.
But I hope it can't be that bad.

Now I need some tips about the drinking in the boat.
How much is it for a beer? How much for a bottle of vodka and a couple litters of coke Zero?

And, what have been crossing my mind, can I smuggle a bottle of vodka into the ship?
I've been told they confiscate whatever liquor you buy in the islands they stop, to force people to buy the drinks in the boat.

Your actual expenses will likely exceed the listed price a lot.  The extra expenses will be -

-Tips (hard to avoid, unless you don't mind every member of staff treating you as mortal enemy)
-Local tours (unless you stay on the ship all week)
-Drinks (unless you are me who doesn't drink anything but water)
-gambling (unless you don't gamble)
-shopping (unless you can stop your wife)

What they do is they give you a spending card when you go on board, and except for the casino they don't accept any other form of payment.  It is very easy to forget how much you have spent using that damned card.  You only find out how much you've really spent when you check out.

Sounds like accrual and unusual punishment to me.

I've been to a cruise ship once (paid for by my parents).  I don't think I'll ever take a cruise ship trip again.  When I go on vacation, food is probably the number one concern.  Sure, there is tons of food on a cruise ship, all you can eat, nicely presented, waiters all wear black ties, and sometimes they even give you oysters and caviar etc.  But there is absolutely no way they can do truly good food if the food is included in the price and you can order whatever you want.  Just no way.  The osyters and caviar that they give you is actually the crappiest kind.

What a load of crap.  Get a bunch of those 375 ml hip flask bottles of booze and tape them to your legs, chest, and back.

Good point.  I went to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico and while the food was abundant and tasted good, it certainly was not quality.  They had a very nice restaurant at the resort, but the food there wasn't included in the price (we ate there once).  Oh, and the drinks....   I needed like three pina coladas to actually get a buzz.

Huh when we went on our cruise last fall we took tons of booze onboard and nobody said a thing about it.

I haven't been on a lot of cruise ships, but I remember that there were duty-free stores on the ship where you could buy bottles of whatever you wanted cheaper than back in the states...
