A cruisetalker kindly brought this to my attention: We have a mystery ship. However, there is one unusual problem, here.

The web site in question is for adults only and does include a number of images of an adult nature. If you are under the age of 18, please DO NOT click the link below. (Take note cruiseny!)

Between the ages of 18 and 21, you may wander through the site, but until you reach the age of 21, we are sorry, but you cannot book a cruise on this mystery ship.

It will only be a short matter of time before Joe deletes this thread, throws me in the brig and strips me of my moderator status. However, I am risking all this for a bit of a giggle. I will probably end up regreting it.

BEWARE - ADULT LINK - IF OFFENDED DO NOT CLICK!

(Cruisetalk does not endorse the product or the associated links.)

Any chance of sending me to review the ship, Joe?

Now there is a bunch who don’t mind formal night! Guess they don’t need much luggage. Do they also sail Alaska, it would be hard finding any carrots dangling there!

Reminds me of a breeder version of the Regal Empress Mutiny and Mayhem/ Pillage and Plunder Cruises.

2 of the public rooms they show look way too much like the Canberra's Meridian Lounge and Alice Springs Lounge.

From the link Pam gave:
Ocean Star Cruises withdrew its Superstar Capricorn from the Thailand region after it ran at a loss. The only other cruise ship offering regular cruises here is the Andaman Princess of Siam Cruise Co Ltd. It has no casino on board.

Looks like someone didn't do their homework???
