So not only are the ships filled with sick people but passengers are trapped on the floating petri dishes until returning to home port.
No thank you, I’ll walk.

Can someone clue me in as to why the Boings are calling it a floating indoor mall? I’ve never been on a cruise ship before. Is it the styling, or something else?

Because it is the equivalent of staying at a hotel with a giant indoor shopping mall that floats around, occasionally, in theory, stopping at “exotic places” that you can “experience” and then go back on board and have a burger and fries?

Good heavens.
I’d never really given much consideration to what one would do on a cruise ship in not in one’s cabin. This would be my private hell.

Maybe not the best name to apply if you want to get home in a timely manner. Just watch it from now on; no listening to music, no cow hunting and definitely don’t try to navigate any straits with mysterious tide patterns. And for Zeus’ sake, someone get the toothpicks ready and lash the captain to the mast.

The original Odyssey took 10 years or so. Just saying.

As observed, it’s like an actual rewrite of The Odyssey.
Sirens probably going off and whatnot.
You HAD to ask, and now I can’t unsee it.

Yeah, and he was the only one to make it back. Odyssey of the Seas is a really bad name.

Hey, it worked for Apollo 13. Sort of.
