Sukarta I recommend shock treatment. Begin with a nice easy travel channel show. I recommend something with the ever perky Samantha Brown. Then a couple hours of ‘Gilligan’s Island’. Eventually switch over to ‘The Poseidon Adventure’ the ’70 version with Shelly Winters and Gene Hackman not the hackneyed remake. But you could watch both consecutively if you can stand it.

Intersperse this with the first season of ‘lost’. But only the first season since the rest doesn’t seem make any sense at all.

And then finally move on to a 24hr “Deadliest Catch” Marathon. All the while dosing with your favorite Serotonin Reuptake inhibitor (SRI) . Prozac is good but Cymbalta would be better. The next step is tough, draw a bath, light some candles and stare into the water chanting “I will not jump, I will not jump, I will not jump”.

There! You’re done! Now you are ready to book that first cruise.

With it you will enjoy all pleasures of cruising. Overeating! Overpriced excursions! Waiting in line. Fighting for deck chairs. Missed ports because of weather, equipment malfunction, civil insurrection, etc… Learning the meaning of the 4 C’s (which by the way has nothing to do with the 7 seas as I first thought). And that joyous feeling of going to another country and being viewed as a source of revenue “Just leave your money and get back on the damn boat” or “Come with us how do we contact your family in the states? Do they have money?”

Bon Voyage!

here’s a $million idea, surround the ship with retractable nets, if someone falls into one charge them $500, unless they were tossed on purpose

Sukatra, I have been trying not to think about that. I, too, have watched too many of those “investigative” reports. But I guess it’s the law of averages – how many people cruise every year and how many actually fall off, get the norovirus, or are killed in their sleep and dumped off the side? Of course, the way my luck goes….

Marilyn, I was just kidding. You couldn’t get me on a boat in the middle of the ocean if you paid me. I am deathly afraid of falling off and being left out there all by myself.

Unfortunately I have watched wayyyyy too much dateline nbc and abc’s primetime. they’re always talking about stories about people getting knocked overboard.

Just one of my many, many neuroses.

Slater: I’ve never been anywhere, so I’d take a cruise OR Sandals. I’ve heard Sandals is cool, but I thought that was a sort of couples place.
