Ziggy Stardust does Elvis!
Going on an ELVIS cruise.
- Thread starter minds_I
- Start date
Hello all,
I am back...still trying to recooperate from the trip.
It was as I suspected, all Elvis all the time all over the place. In every room, hallway, on every deck. Elvis everywhere.
It was as if someone ate some bad Elvis and booted it everywhere.
They had drinks named after songs (the "Shake Rattle and Roll" $7.50).
They did indeed have fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
They had many Elvis contests with many of the same ETA'a just in different order.
There was a 94yo woman doing the twist (very disturbing).
There was a 7yo boy being trained by his mother to be an ETA. Sad really, everytime the kid was looked at or heard his stage name (Storm) he would turn on and do Elvis moves as if on cue. Mom sure did seem to enjoy the attention as well.
There were leading ladies from movies he did (and he was a rotten actor-he even agreed the movies were rotten).
There were door decorating competitions.
There were groups that all wore the same costumes to the various Elvis events.
They played Elvis movies on the ships TV.
Then there were the want a be ETA's at the keroke bar.
Everywhere I turned was Elvis.
The sad part was that my mp3 player did not go up loud enough to drown out Elvis.
I think if I hear Love ME Tender or Heartbreak Hotel one more time I will go running off into the street with an assualt weapon screaming in the night.
It was a great cruise if Elvis is your thing...but it was long and boring for me.
My sweet wife had a great time and that is what matters to me. And the food was kewl.
I did make a tincture to take with me but it was not the same as smoking my buds. Still it made the whole thing more bearable. And there was no issues with being caught smoking although it would have been doable. There were roaches on the upper deck at the back end of the ship so I know others were indulging.
As to the tincture, it was good (made according to directions) but it tastes horrid. Along with the burn of the alcohol it was hard to do. Put it in a glass perscription cough syrup bottle, washed with bleach and put in a plastic bag using a sterle proceedure it made thru TSA.
Being in a wheelchair, they did a pat search on me so like in the psat I could have just put a sack next to my sack and all would have been fine to take smokables.
My sweet wife took gigs upon gigs of videos of the cruise but little inthe way of stills.
She is talking about the next cruise as well as dead week in Memphis this summer....Yes Dear!
Well, thats it really.

You are a good man...
You Sir,are a better man than I.Two days in I would have stuffed my clothes full of peanut butter and banana sandwiches and jumped overboard.
To answer your question:
I have never had a problem smoking on a cruise ship. If you have to use the outside promenades hang to the back of the ship at night and you'll be fine.
keep a lit cigar with you just in case and you're good to go.
You can bring all you need with you leaving but don't bring it back into customs with you.
have a good time.
you are indeed a very good man, perhaps if you neglect to renew your passport you can beg off the next trip at the last minute. bon voyage.
you have been through elvis hell and survived.

respect elvis,,, respect minds I,,,
