M.S JAZO Posted November 17, 2009 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Saw 2012 this weekend and in the movie a cruise liner, The Genesis, which looked a lot like Oasis of the Seas goes down after the tidal waves sweep across the world. Now this wave is massive compared to the one in Poseidon, however, no is coming to rescue you after if you happen to survive. So, I got a question. Lets say the world is coming to an end. Would you want to spend your last days sailing on a cruise ship until whatever was going to happen, happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leesbrug Land Posted November 17, 2009 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2009 If my family and I are going to die together I want to have some fun doing it!:D I will feel sorry for the ships crew that will have to cater to me knowing they will not be able to use their tips:p.

PattyG12 Posted November 17, 2009 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Oh wow ... hadn't thought of tips. Maybe this is one instance where nobody needs to tip! While we're at it, can I please have a free coke cup to share with my DH? He plans to wear shorts in the MDR and smoke in the Cabin. They can fine us too!! Just kidding, BTW.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spammie Posted November 17, 2009 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Sure as long as my family is with me. If the world is going to end I can't think of a better place than to be on a cruise. I have already told my family that I would like to be cremated when I die and have my ashes scattered at sea while they are on a cruise celebrating my life. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted November 17, 2009 #5 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Hmmm !! Maybe there will be some good prices for sailing during Dec 2012...Especially that Xmas sailing 12-21-12.....:eek:.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grumpus Posted November 17, 2009 #6 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Well, since we’re living in fantasy land today, I think instead of going down with the ship so to speak, I’m going to use the new space rocket my dad built for me and jettison myself from the earth before it ends. I will then travel to another planet where my strength is magnified by the planets gravitional pull and therefore makes me the most powerful being on the planet. I will then live there as some mild mannered behind the scenes type person, with a job that will keep me informed of the goings on around the planet, so at a moment’s notice, I can swoop in to stop the evil & carnage of my new world!!!! Otherwise, sure.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it ,if you were the ships crew would you be spending your final moments catering to passengers?.Naw,If I were the crew I'd be in a quiet section drinking the good stuff and eating the better food.Let the passengers wait on themselves:D :cj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amybeth4 Posted November 17, 2009 #11 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I would love to spend my last days on a ship, but the weather better cooperate and if RCCL knows in advance that this is the last cruise going out before we all die, they freakin' better let me bring alcohol onboard, stiff the staff, smoke wherever I want and wear shorts in the MDR!

I'm a little slow this afternoon, though, took me a few minutes to figure out why it seemed so familiar!! Some of us may want to spend the final days on a cruise ship, but I don't think the crew would!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrozuk Posted November 17, 2009 #15 Share Posted November 17, 2009 You'd find me in the Windjammer with my last meal washing it down with vintage Dom Perignon with the family and doing that thing the Brits are rumoured don't do oftenand tip heavily.

novalab Posted November 17, 2009 #16 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Can I bring my dogs? LOL! I thought of that too...but for us, it would be our dog, cats, chickens, and horses!:eek: Oh...and our DD's pet birds. Since my list constitutes the start of an ark, it just might be a good idea....:rolleyes: But on the other hand, I think I would pass on the cruise and stay at home surrounded by my loved ones & critters.

Desert Cruizers Posted November 17, 2009 #17 Share Posted November 17, 2009 For those who saw the movie, your reviews. I haven't read any good ones yet, so hesitant to spend the $$ and wait til it comes to TV, but then won't get the full affects that way. When & if a disaster of that nature comes, not sure we will be able to choose where to be, but hope its with our daughter and their family.

H82seaUgo Posted November 17, 2009 #18 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The ocean is the last place I want to be near at the end of the world. I prefer to be as close as possible to where the Lord descends from Heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sea-cruise Posted November 18, 2009 #20 Share Posted November 18, 2009 DH and I just returned from seeing 2012. I won't spoil the ending for all of you so all I can say is.... I would not want to be on a cruiseship during my final hours, unless my family and dogs were with me and we would be on dry land once again. P.S. I would sure have a good time running up my seapass bill though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooselover Posted November 18, 2009 #24 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I voted no simply because I would want to be there on our farm with the animals and of course, my family. There's no place like home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyancho Posted November 18, 2009 #25 Share Posted November 18, 2009 No Thanks!! Drowning is a horrible way to go. I think I would like to go in the privacy of my own home, bottle of bourbon in one hand and the biggest joint I could roll in the other hand. Oh yeah, I forgot the big bag of Cheetos..........
