Yes, the show was silly, but it had a sorta innocence to it. Everything nowadays is a REALITY show. And who wants to see reality when we see it all day, you know? Many times I watch a movie just to escape reality.<br /><br />Yes, I've heard of both Windjammer and Barefoot cruises before. I think they're more of like a BIG sailboat, aren't they?

He and his partner go together. They usually take one in the Fall and then one in the Spring. And yes, he showed me photographs of the interior and exterior of the ship and I couldn't get over how HUGE that thing was. OMG..there was even a bowling alley and movie theater on them. One of these days I must try one. I think I would enjoy a cruise to Alaska!<br /><br />Aren't the actions figures a RIOT?

The world needs good-natured silly shows.<br /><br /><br />I've never been on one of the huge cruise ships, but I did go on a smaller cruise in the Mediterranean. But with my mother, so no chance of meeting anyone, alas. And I went on a Barefoot Cruise on one of those 100-passenger sailing ships. Windjammer did lots of different types of cruises, and I was on one of the family-oriented ones. I asked the activities director (I'm not exactly sure if that was her title) about the most interesting cruise she'd worked. She said it was the naked gay men's cruise!
