gillianrose Posted October 21, 2011 #26 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Pretty close results :)Looks like a few adventurous people out there I think a mystery cruise would work best in the Caribbean Adventurous? LOL. Adventurers spend nights in lesser known hotels (or tents) in places where English isn't spoken by everyone. They don't cruise the Caribbean surrounded by several hundred cruisers. The "Mystery Cruise" might be fun, but adventurous? Uh-uh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each his own spending a night in a tent anywhere is not adventurous to me :eek: Just plain silly IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marebear Posted October 21, 2011 #28 Share Posted October 21, 2011 To each his own spending a night in a tent anywhere is not adventurous to me :eek: Just plain silly IMO I agree with you 100%!!! I consider myself adventurous in that I am willing to go anywhere, but I enjoy staying in 5* hotels!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trina2 Posted October 31, 2011 #30 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I think a mystery cruise would work best in the Caribbean Not so well in Europe, you really need to plan for those ports I disagree - you could still spend an enjoyable day anywhere in Europe without too much planning (just as long as there is a shuttle offered into town) - keeping in mind, anyone booking for a mystery cruise is already ready to accept whatever comes their way. I love the idea. And love J&S's name for the cruise: Que Sera Sera cruise. Many years ago, Qantas offered mystery flights (including overnight(s) stops). Once booked and paid for, you could choose to find out where you were flying to 24 hrs beforehand... if you wanted. For us, it was a cheap way to see our capital cities and we availed ourselves of it on numerous occasions, flying from Sydney to Perth, for example, at a fraction of the cost. [back then, it was cheaper for us to fly to Hawaii (and they threw in accommodation) than it was for us to fly to Perth!!] So, the Que Sera Sera cruise will be a fraction of the cost of a normal cruise. ;) This would be great for those people who really like cruising (for some people, itinerary is a secondary factor when choosing a cruise). And if you don't like the port, stay on board. Now if they'll offer free flights for us Aussies as well [better make it business class... then we won't care what the climate - we'll be able to take enough luggage to be prepared for anything] -- then I don't care if they don't tell me the starting point or ending point. Just so long as they tell me where we are docking/tendering in the Currents the night before we dock. Add some OBC and they can tell me at breakfast!:p PS: Pre-cruise accommodation must be 5 star, of course :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKS Posted November 13, 2011 #37 Share Posted November 13, 2011 One has never camped until you've spent a night at Grand Canyon in 22 degree weather with 30 exchange students (about half from tropical countries), then wake up with an inch of ice on the tents. The poor Thai girls were wearing every piece of clothing they'd brought, everything they could borrow, and they were still shivering! LOL - now. Not funny then. Yes, I too am happy my camping days are behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
