Cruises?

[tc_rain]

Do you prefer cruises to dive many different places or a trip to one specific location for more dives? <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

Funny you should ask. Why not sign onto the ScubaToys February 2008 cruise to experience it yourself?

My only problem with the cruise idea is that you only get a few days of diving in, and most of the trip is spent at sea. If I have a week of vacation I want to spend as mant days diving as I can, so I prefer to fly there. That ST cruise in February looks like a great deal though. If I lived anywhere near Texas I'd be all over it.

Where do you live? We might get cheap airfare for you.

<DIV>On this cruise, you'll have a bunch of other divers to share experiences with, both underwater and during the surface interval between ports.</DIV>

<DIV>The other nice thing about cruises for those of us with non-diver spouses and SOs; while the diver is diving, the non-diver is off doing her/his own thing. They don't sit on the ship, bored.</DIV>

I'm smack in the middle of the Pacific, so airfare isn't that cheap. And besides, I'll probably be diving in the Philippines in Feb.

My wife wanted to go on a cruise before our last vacation. I explained I didn't want to spend the majority of my time on a boat, only to get off for a few hours at some port. I won and we ended up spending a week in Coz. The topic has surfaced again since the next vacation is approaching and I thinkI will end up losing this round.

Wife don't dive so there is no way I could get her to go for that . My LDS wenton Blackbeards earlier this year and offerd a great price. I mentioned it to the wife and it was a big "NO".

Just tell her you're going to take her on a cruise on a yacht for a week

Then she would put pin holes in my air lines
