SO to the bahamas.

Mostly my wifey. I've been on a bunch with just us two. Before her I never cruised.

Besides just me and her cruises, Ive done one with her and her girlfriends - one with her and her work - and I did a destination wedding so 40 of us cruised down for it (friends and family).

It's easy for short trips. But I still prefer staying on the island and flying in.

Some friends. Cruise lines can be SUPER sketchy though, when it comes to safety.

From Reddit:

I've worked on major cruise line. Deaths happen often. A lot of morbid stuff happens.

For example, if you're suddenly on the brink of death while in port, they're getting you off the boat. Doesn't matter if that port is a small Alaskan fishing village or Caribbean shanty town with no medical facilities. The point isn't to save you, it's to avoid a death on board. We often have far more advanced medical facilities on board. Often times the towns and ships will throw a dying person back and fourth instead of helping. Nobody wants to acknowledge the statistic.

Or the people who quietly whisk you away and lock you in quarantine with no ability to leave if you're found to be infected by certain viruses, like Norovirus.

Or my personal favourite, people who disappear. Obviously people fall off. Or jump. Or whatever. We know that, and we prepare. Doesn't matter if you're in the hot tub, on your balcony, or gambling. If you aren't completely inside your room or the restroom, you're being watched. You may not see the cameras, but they're there.

Why? Because people do odd things. A few years ago a teenage girl met a boy she liked on a cruise and found by some stroke of luck, he was next door. She was invited over to his room but she couldn't open to main cabin door without disturbing her parents. So what does she do? Tries to jump from her balcony to his. It was only a short way, but it's slippery. She fell from damn near the highest level, hit the water and nobody saw her again.

Later her family wanted to sue with a claim that the safety railing was the issue and they deserved compensation. It sounds terrible, but all the CL did was tap into the footage. It was all on film, every second of it. Her jumping right over the rail, slipping, and silently disappearing into the dark below.

Also we're all constantly wasted. There's that too.

I'm in Florida, so we just drive to the port, Tampa is right here, Port Canaveral and Miami are short rides. Miami is furthest at 3.5hr.

The Carnival boats are def good times with young people. I should have started cruising earlier with a homeboy (before settling back down). 2 young brothers can clean up chicks on cruises. Chicks constantly approach choosin

I think 3. One was when I was probably no older than 9 and it was for a wedding with my father's family.

The other two times was at camp and we went on a boat trip to the Statue of Liberty.

I'm not about that swimming life so I stay away from anything that has to do with boats.

Gotta think too, most chicks wont have NO wifi for the whole cruise. No facebook, no twitter. They aint paying that $$$ for internet the boats be having.

Man pack a clean fit for each night, lounge in casino, or by the bars. And .. I be mostly alone late night on the ship. My chick is not about night life, so once she's down I skirt out. Gambling.

You would think a dude alone would be a red flag on board, nah these females dont care.

Single dudes could eat real good...
