I’m on a boat!*

I recently went on a cruise for two weeks to New Zealand. It was pretty good, all in all. Here is a picture of me eating icecream for evidence.

Things I learned (fun):

• trivia is life
• karaoke comes a close second
• sometimes walking in a straight line is just not going to happen
• you can’t say Titanic into a microphone (same principle as the Scottish Play)
• Titanic is the answer to 25% of trivia questions
• it’s always time for to eat
• wifi is super expensive
• drinks are cheap (if you have the package deal)
• no one sings sea shanties
• yoga is while at sea is really, really difficult.

Other things I learned (less fun):

• if you fall overboard you’re gonna die
• they have a shit-list of passengers
• COVID. Is. Everywhere
• the shows were… not great
• the comedian was transphobic as, and then tried the ‘It’s all a joke, don’t get offended’ trick.

Verdict: Would cruise again, but perhaps not for a while, and maybe I’ll take a friend next time. Who wants to come see the inside passage of Alaska?
