Traveling Gentleman

I can imagine there are actually some people who wake up that early. There are some people who sleep few hours, but not because some sleeping problems, and if they go sleep very early then certainly some might wake up at 2 AM. Most people however, they stayed up kind of late, and then they have to get up 'kind of early' for breakfast.

From what I know, the loyalty programs offered by cruise lines are somewhat limited and few, which is actually rather surprising. Someone might say this is not the case, but any frequent airline traveler would know the huge perks available, and it cannot be compared to the loyalty programs offered by cruise lines.

This would have been really fun to try once! And of course people are likely to be willing to pay a premium for such an experience, but it is doubtful someone would do it over and over again. Can anyone imagine someone saying "I am going on my annual north sea oil rig cruise now!".

It does seem a good idea to always have a passport when traveling abroad, even if it is not necessary, because it could turn out to be necessary under some circumstances. It is not a matter of doing something unnecessary just for some far-fetched scenario, like packing a pharmacy just in case you get a cold, but a passport does not take up a lot of space.

It seems that things went off topic; however I would like to contribute by informing that I am pretty sure that Star Cruises offers halal meals, but they cruise in another part of the world than the thread starter is interested in. Otherwise, vegetarian food might be an option, perhaps even better than kosher food?
