kinggartk Posted June 20, 2007 #27 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Guess you don't understand this little icon here::p means I was joking...... Can't wait only 2 more months until I set sail on a Carnival cruise boat:rolleyes: Sorry...There are those here who get down right snotty when they see someone refer to a Crusie Ship as a "Boat".:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphakitty Posted June 20, 2007 #28 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I did. Boat: a small vessel for travel on water Ship: a large seagoing vessel So now we can decide what is a small vessel and what is a large vessel. My vote is "cruise ships" qualify as ships. ;) That is only ONE of the definitions of a boat and it is #2 at that! Def #1 is: a vessel for transport by water, constructed to provide buoyancy by excluding water and shaped to give stability and permit propulsion. That sounds like a cruise ship would fit into that definition! :p Def. # 4 is .... a ship. The words really are interchangable. While I agree cruise ship is more palatable, boat IS perfectly acceptable according to the definitions in Webster's Dictionary. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLC@SD Posted June 20, 2007 #29 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Wife and I are on the Ecstasy in late July and are staying at the Harbor House Hotel. If I wanted to get up early and see the boat dock and drop anchor, about what time should I get up? Wife will sleep in, but I figure it would be a good way to start the day. thanx -D ......since there is so much discussion about OP's use of "boat".......;) .......did anyone notice the statement about dropping the anchor when the boat docks........:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halos Posted June 20, 2007 #30 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Sorry...There are those here who get down right snotty when they see someone refer to a Crusie Ship as a "Boat".:) :D Call me snotty. I have to admit that it bothered me to see the word 'boat' too. I'm glad someone else yelled. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingjon Posted June 20, 2007 #31 Share Posted June 20, 2007 If you want to get technical, it is a B O A T also. Check Webster's Dictionary. It is perfectly OK to call it a "BOAT". Now...I call it a Ship also, but I am not a Cruise Snob, and will not YELL at someone who prefers to call it a BOAT. Okay that is fine......(whispering)...get on board and call it a boat. You'll figure it out for yourself! Its a mistake you won't make twice!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a mistake you won't make twice!;) I'm assuming it is a faux pax you won't make twice because of the reaction of the people who live/work on the vessel? Sort of like if you say "trailer" to the people living in a Mobile Home Park?? *s* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurbanfan Posted June 20, 2007 #33 Share Posted June 20, 2007 All I was wanting to know was what time she docked . . . honest!!:o -=D LOL!

My mother in law got on board one of her cruises and called it a boat.......the collective gasp from the crew was deafening!!! She never did it again.

WildWillie Posted June 20, 2007 #37 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Boat: a small vessel for travel on water Ship: a large seagoing vessel I've always been lead to believe that: A Boat leans INTO a turn. A Ship leans AWAY from a turn. Just an observation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdood Posted June 20, 2007 #38 Share Posted June 20, 2007 The BOAT might do a 360, but the SHIP will only do a 180 at the pier!!!!
