And the cruise happened...

Part of me would have enjoyed a nice cruise and magic gaming...the logical side of me knows I would not have enjoyed the world's largest seafaring sausage fest.

A sausage-fest is a party with a shortage of women. Think about it that way, and the reference makes sense.
Man, you guys are old!

That's so true...
But I was under the impression that the Magic players were a subset of the cruise-goers, they didn't compose ALL of the cruise-goers. I mean, a cruise ship can usually have a 500-1000 people, depending on the size - this was probably a "small" cruise ship, but still...
I've never encountered more drunken idiots than normal on a cruise ship... since you have to pay for the alcohol, that usually puts a damper on drinking. Not to say that there aren't any, of course, but it's not like it's an open bar or anything...

Nothing Special
I don't know about that. I mean, it's not like wedding reception levels of drunken stupidity, but I know I got significantly more hammered on my honeymoon cruise than during any other two-week period in my life.Spiderman;280035 said:
On Royal Caribbean, everything you buy on the ship (including beverages) gets charged to a ship credit card, so it's easy to lose track of how much you buy on drinks. Plus, there are bars everywhere and you NEVER have to drive home.
<shrug> Yeah, but not everyone's on their honeymoon, nor drinks a lot anyways. I mean, I've been on Dolphin, Norweigan, and Carnival, and most of the people I met were "coherent" Obviously I didn't meet every single person on the cruise ship, but I didn't meet enough to think that "Man, everyone's drunk!" on here.
Yeah, you can charge to the ship's card or your own, but usually, you've either budgeted for drinks or keeping track in some way so you're not surprised at the end of the cruise. It's probably a very small percentage of people who have a huge bill at the end.

That's true. Are they going to do it again any time soon? I might check it out if I have extra funds...
*sigh....*
Look here
Wizards sent people to the cruise because it was a fun thing to document. Additionally, they agreed to allow a PTQ to take place and they wanted to be there to document it.
The new one is the same company as the old one. The set up is relatively the same, with the big difference being that you would leave from Ft. Lauderdale instead of Galveston.
