Anyone on TravelPage ever participate in one of the CruiseTrek cruises? I enjoy Star Trek and always thought it would be fun to cruise with the actors from Star Trek. I know they get about 300 - 400 people in their group when ever they put one of their cruises together.

A couple of years ago I saw an add for such a cruise onboard the Statendam I believe. Though I am an SF fan and enjoy Startrek I would never want to go on such a themed cruise, once been to a convention but I don’t like to wear my pajamas during the day time so I kind of not really fitted in. Although there is nothing wrong with a themed cruise I rather take a normal cruise.

Poor other passengers having to fight a bunch of Klingons over an extra plate of “qagh” at the buffet! Hope what ever ship it’s on the don’t have to go to red alert!

Best, Onno

Onno,

Funny.... I think I would enjoy a ST themed cruise, but I agree the conventions are filled with such goofy people. I would never be caught dead wearing a Star Trek uniform. I'm not a trekkie, but I am a trekker...you probably know the difference.

Let's not forget Dr. Who. Can you imagine Daleks running around the ship screaming "Exterminate Exterminate"?

Barryboat,

The cheesy sets and stories were all part of show's charm! I loved it. Mr. Gizmo and I would sit and laugh at those cheesy sets. Some were just not cheesy but really bad.

Gizmo,

Funny....LOL

There was another "movie" that was a big hit in England where some travellers explored the galaxy and it was the same kind of slightly "off" humor as Dr. Who and Monty Python...something about "guide to the Galaxy"? Anyone know what I'm thinking about?

Barryboat: You're referring to The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, perhaps?

It featured a great set of characters including Zaphod Beeblebrox (inventor of the most potent cocktail known to exist, the Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blaster).

It was mostly about trying to answer the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.
Eventually they came up with the answer: Forty-two.

I did watch the video one time to see what all the fuss was about...it wasn't my kind of movie.

Somehow I must have missed Guide to the Galaxy. How about Red Dwarf? That guy that was part cat was really a character.

The Star Trek cruises are referred to as Cruisetrek. They have had Alaska cruises and Caribbean cruises. Groups of over 400 trekkers attend these cruise events.

By the way...Jamaica Jeff...you're a little off topic, but what a cool idea to have a trampoline on a cruise ship...right near the railing (with a net of course).
