What is happening to cruise ships lately! Have they all been cursed!?

Look at the pic of what has happened to Granduer of the Seas! Apparently there was a large explosion and a fire but no power loss. The passengers have been flown home and the ship is in the Bahamas. I'm not sure I want to go on another cruise now...

"time remaining : 3d 13h 9m"... It would probably be quicker to sail each of the data packets across the ocean on a certain general cargo vessel...

Any idea what it will cost me to buy all those on DVD? For example, I got 9 seasons of Two And A Half Men and every season is about 5 or 6 DVD's..

Besides that, try to pass immigration with so many DVD's in your bag  ;D

I got BioShock Infinite the other day, and this is my reaction:

HOLY SHNIKIES! :o

Really though, the game is amazing, I completely recommend it. But nobody talk about the ending, where I last left off Elizabeth and I just got to the First-Lady Aerodome.

It's ballast, so I can say with 100% certainty that he paid for each and every one.

I saw some let's play video's on youtube, it looks totally different then the previous Bioshocks! Haven't got around yet to play it myself.

By the way, I'm coming to the Great Lakes with the Fuldaborg! I'm hoping for a trip as far as Duluth :)

Well, Since the episodes are 105 minutes each, I'd say a good portion :D
Edit: The ones with the origional Barnaby are the better ones though.

It still might take a few weeks. Vessel is now in the Pentland bound for Finland for discharging her cargo from Ireland.

I can't wait to get the hell out of town again  :doh:

I guess I'll see you when you arrive. ;D

You are scheduled to dock on Tues. June 4 at CHS 1 for grain, if I'm not mistaken.

How did you know? I have the people, streamers, donkeys, peach pies, semi-automatic airsoft rifles, Black Hawk Helicopters with Navy stunt pilots... just a quaint little gathering.

By the way, any idea when the Vaasaborg departed? Just noticed that she's already on the Lawrence seaway past Montreal..
