The Regal Empress is quite a rock and roller.
You may end up getting real seasick if you down a bottle of vodka on the first day, or any ship for that matter.

If you buy a bottle on board they give it to you after the cruise. You are not allowed to bring your own booze on board. You have to buy drinks by the drink at the bar.

Just like an airplane all luggage is screened and you have to walk thru a metal detector.

If you fire up a joint, do it in the bathroom. The smell gets thru cabin doors.
It will alleviate sea-sickness.

Cocaine or anything harder will get you thrown overboard. The crew are not trained to help someone on a bad acid trip either.

The Carnival ships are a non-stop party.

There are lots of security guards on the party ships and they do give a second eye to the spring breakers. Don't try anything asinine, the brig ain't too comfortable and you will be escorted off the ship permanantly at the next port.

Watch out for senior citzens too. Some have canes and walkers. Many cruisers are obese.

Either way the ships have gyms, basketball courts, rock bands, reggae bands, and disco's. Regal has good entertainment for its prices.

The gym is least crowded early in the morning.

You never cease to amaze me .... your
obvious quest for life in the fast lane.

Drugs, Sex, WOW !

Don't you ever wonder when your " doing "
a crewmember, that you might be doing all
of the people they have been " doing " ?

Cruising is one thing, but cruising with
reckless abandonment, is another ...

You have mentioned all of this before, and
I have often thought about your trip in the
fastlane, may end up, on a dead end road.

Have fun, but for God sake , be careful ...

I have calmed down with middle age. I am very healthy now, and safe during my party years. Read my Norway post.

All that sex and drugs goes on in Hanover [home of Utz potato chips, and Hanover Lantern] as anywhere else. I am just open about it. If it is underground, that stuff causes big trouble. If it is open it becomes manageable and no longer forbidden fruit.

The best school teachers were usually the worst students. They know all the tricks a troublemaker would play that a goody goody would be clueless on.

Just wanted to share with Indica my experiences and try to see a cruise vacation from his perspective.

Well, that's the first time that I've heard that! Are they available free from the ships Doctor?

Does not hurt to ask

Maybe marijuana theme cruises LOL, once into international waters. Cheech and Chong could be the entertainers.

Wow, get stoned and stare into the ship's wake and zen into the sound of the wind and water, groovy man

In the 1920's during US prohibition, there were booze cruises out of US ports into international waters.

The ship's casinos shut down within the 12 mile limit.

Just think if Commodore or Premier did this and charged $5 a joint they would still be in business.

Seriously reefer alleviates nausea in chemotherapy patients.

Perhaps instead of digging up very old posts that you feel are important....uh, right....you could start a new, non-QM2 thread. If it is interesting, I'll certainly read it. OR you could just ignore QM2 posts altogether.......there's no crime in being disinterested and no one is forcing you to read anything.

I am, however, eternally grateful to you for keeping our best interest in mind.
