any tip for Cruise?

I do not like to go to a place like cruise ship, but under pressure from wife, we booked a cabin for 3 on P&O Pacific Sun which will take 10 days.

any tip for such kind of trip?

love to hear from you who had experiences!

if only your family, it will be a bit boring. i do not have such an experience and i have a friend did before. he organised the trip with other two families.

that might be a good idea, but it is very hard to get a bunch of family together for various reasons, your friend must be lucky.

空手, last time you told me that better tell the kids to work harder now and be easy later, and your dear daughter started to understand since 11. it is wonderfull when whe started to understand thise one of the basic principle of you pay what you get.

Just curiously enough, can you tell me you had never mention such kind of stuff before she reached 11 or had been repeating such doctrines before, if yes, how long it had been?

all chilren like playing, it is natural. when you push them to learn something they do
not know, they are always not happy.

my daughter still is the same and likes playing games in internet. but if you seriousely ask her how to make living in future, she will choose the music because it become easier after a few year learning.

about cruise ship, there is still problem of culture, which is like you sitting in the bar, you can go there but not everyday. my advice is do not going this time because it is cost and you would not enjoy much.

for the reason of having a holiday, just spent time and spent money. have you been Melbourne?

怎麼沒聲音了,...CHICKENRUN8? 這種活動,要玩的好,要早點組織,說不定一起去呢? 假如,CRUISER只是在澳洲的,我覺得還是別去好,另外,你孩子太小,不管是你,你家,你孩子都不會ENJOY MUCH.

the cruise is to New Calidonia and other 5 ports ten days then back to sydney.

I did visited melbourn with a tour group years ago, it is a lovely city..  

You might be right kid is too young to enjoy those stuffs, I just have to make plenty of photos and videos for reminding her later on.

to me we are on holiday all the days as long as you are in Australia.

last year I had toured the HaiNan island, does not like it. because australia is a much better island anyway..  oh now there  are a lot of Gum trees planted in Hainan now... they are from autralia....

haha, life is good.

wow.... you guys life is good....

i never been to cruise... but understand that not much fun there.....

不大可能有什麼fun。兩三天還可以，10天肯定會無聊。排除暈船的可能，即使不暈船，10天在一個移動的孤島上會有什麼fun？

same as you guys, buy my wife insisted, what you can do, she never believed indirect experiences... she is the victim of her father who got her to copy paragraphs from books for hims to make another book, so she now never believe any written books... only book she reads is to pass time... and unwilling to learn new knowledges...

if divorce is not extremely bad for kid, I may walked away long time ago.

哈哈,跑題了.

跑得太厲害了...

chickenrun, 反正你LP想去那就去玩玩見識見識一下.... 我們說的都是各人意見....

I just came back from a cruise ship vacation.  We flew to Hawaii and boarded the ship the same day we arrived.  The ship sailed at night and stayed in harbours at daytime to let passengers take trips on different advantures and on different islands.  There were plenty children on the ship.  The crews provided babysitting to these little children and let their parents go on the islands to enjoy the activities they like, such as scuba diving, snorkeling, surfing, hiking, golfing, etc.  Each island also has helicopter trips for sight seeing.

On the ship, there are exercise room, theatres, swimming pools, basketball court, library, video games and internet connections.  There are several restaurants serving only dinner in the evenings and formal clothing code is recommended but not required.  The crews also serve buffet type of food all day long.

There are old people in the passenger body but more are young people and families with kids.  It really depends on the type of the cruise.  Ours is a free  cruise ship.

I forgot to mention that it was a very relaxing environment.  You don't need to drive, don't need to worry about where to eat and where to find a hotel or motel.  Since it sailed at night, we didn't get any sea sick.  Everyone chose the type of activities he/she wanted to do.  Or you may do nothing and just lay under the sun by the pool.  If a cruise ship spends several days on the sea until it reaches next port, it may not be fun and you'll definitely get seasick.

意浮的TRIP不錯,很吸引人,能不能介紹的詳細些,如多少錢,在那裡可以買票等等,...謝謝在先了.

I met a group of people came from Malaysia.  They flew from Kuala Lumpur via Taipei to Honolulu.

The ship is called the Pride of America.  You may try to check the web-site named icruise.com

Since the land trip costs extra, average cost for each person in my family is US $2,000.

IT IS GOOD PRICE FOR CRUISE SHIP FOR THAT TIME.

意浮的TRIP跟chickenrun8的trip根本是兩回事，不能相提並論。意浮的TRIP是將船當交通工具，而chickenrun8的trip是呆在船上。

要不是空手憐憫你而故意轉移你的話題，我已經準備好十塊手絹來與你同病相憐一番。。。

thanks very much for you all!

but I really would like to discuss with all of you here about relationships (within the marriage).

I am really sick of her that she is reading those Huang Yi's Romance books by the boxes. it is ok if we do not have the kids, but we now have the kid who need new knowledges and information to raise the kids in a reasonalble good way...  

To be able to do it, you really have to spend sometime to do a serious study over the education system here...

maybe even spend more time to read bible is better than reading these shitty rommances..

very sad!   I took the wrong boat and I still have to stick with it. because if not my daughter will be severely affect in many ways... she is innocent and should not be penalised by parent's sillyness.
