I took this photo from my front window as the Q of the S was leaving New York.

I dunno, but I'm not getting on one. Way too top-heavy for me!
Those behemoths must have terrible sailing characteristics, not to mention untrained crews. I think I'll pass.

My cruising days were just a little bit different riding through all the drive-in's and downtown to see what was happening at Snappy Service hamburger joint.

looks like the 'Princesses Imodium' criuise'; the reason for it's giant height is the ten decks of toilet paper shipping containers (made to look like cabins). It is also known as the 'Geezer diet cruise. :))

Back in September 1973, I came back from England on the QE2.
That was one beautiful ship. My wife and I brought back a Bentley, Jaguar and an Old English sheepdog. Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end...

Joe, that must have been one heck of a great trip! It would be nice to see some pics if you'd like to share them.

Went on my first and - so far - only cruise about a dozen years ago
I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Didn't come back raving about how I just had to go again but would definitely go again if I had the chance (it is rather expensive). One surprise, while I've always loved the sea and ships, it was nice to find out I had a good stomach for it. I was watching the fairly high seas (20'+ waves) from the Promenade deck and decided I should go get my wife to see the sight. When I got to her cabin she said she had just taken some seasickness pills. I was utterly surprised! When I asked why she said everyone's getting sick from the really rough seas! "Oh", was all I could think to say, "I was wondering why the restaurants and dining rooms were all so empty when I went to get something to eat!"
