Leaving tomorrow on the LARGEST CRUISE SHIP IN THE WORLD (by 5cm over it's sister ship, the Oasis of the Seas)
This is the inaugural cruise, they're calling it the "Labadee Extravaganza"...it's only a 4 night cruise
The other Inaugural Cruise is on the 5th, and that is when she begins her regular 7-day routes.






How big?



Bigger than some of those condominiums.
HAHA....Dave has funny shoes! Have a good time EID. Been on one to Alaska and loved it!

Those are tug boats that help the ship in and out of berths. The water canon is simply their fire nozzles that they spray because it looks cool.

I always thought some people hated on Dave purely because of his political beliefs but it didn't occur to me until this thread that a lot of it was just straight-up jealousy.

Call me a spoil sport but...While many people are unemployed, on the brink of having their home foreclosed on, or some child is in need of food, I am sure it is nice to go on a cruise. I'd do better things with my money.

I didn't say he couldn't spend his money on what he wants, I said that I'd spend my differently. Whether this is a comp or not, he will still spend money. Part of the problem with this country is that we care more about ourselves, our vacations, our big tvs, and dirt bikes than we do for those who are really in need. It's called consumerism and greed. It happens on a large scale, and while it happens, children starve to death. Unfortunately, Americans are under the impression that they are entitled; a good education, and an even better career, and dammit I worked hard for my money and can do what I want. We are not entitled to one damn thing when others are starving, we were just lucky enough to have been born here and greedy and cold-hearted enough to, for the most part, not share with others. So when people post pictures of big luxury cruise ships, not only am I not impressed, but hardly jealous since that is the mindset that leaves so many without.

Really? I loved my Navy cruises

I think going ashore with 20-30 of my best friends, was some of the funnest times in my life.

The tugs, "tug" the ship from the pier, than escorts them to the open sea.

I no longer own a dirt bike, my tv was free, and my computer is old and partly broken. However, you miss the point, and your response is the typical response I hear when greed and consumerism are mentioned at the expense of others. All you're really saying is, you go sell everything and give to the poor and then let's talk about me and what I have. It's a round a bout way of admitting to greed. No one is calling for people to sell everything they have, or even most of what they have. What is being asked is to set aside the consumerism and greed and give more out of what we do have. It is clearly obvious that we do not do that because we have enough to help and yet the help needed is not being met.



Also, there are free ways to help, like freerice.com or by filing out this:





http://gifts.wfp.org/...campaign=thankyou-US



There are many things that could be done, but aren't. And a big reason for that is our consumerism and greed. The attitude that we are entitled, we earned it, and we can do what we want with it.

You know that the free rice program is a devistating program to the local farmers where the rice is distributed. Some people argue that it does more harm than good.

Dave, have a great time.

Joyce and I went on a cruise a few years back and really enjoyed it. I don't think I've eaten that much before we left, or since we got off the boat. That was some bigtime feedbagging it.

The ship looks top notch. Let's get some live reporting when you can.

Actually, the program helps more than it hurts. First, free rice, tries as much as possible to buy from local economies, second, these aids are given to places that are already devastated financially and otherwise so the help given helps a greater populace of people than it takes from.

Billy, enjoying life when you can doesn't make you a selfish greedy bastard.

Since you have no idea what Dave or the rest of us do for others as far as donations and volunteer help, it's a bit hypocritical to preach improvement and better moral standards. Step down off that high horse for a bit, and take a look. You might find some decent people down here.

This is another common response, "You don't know what I or anyone else gives" I don't have to know what any one particular person gives. In my previous statements, I used the word "we" to collectively refer to the majority of people who simply don't give enough. It's not about being on a high horse (another classic response when the greed of people are mentioned) -- it's a fact that America is a consumer national full of greed. Even the average family here would be considered extremely wealthy compared to how others live. Not only am I not impressed with a luxury cruise, I would not be on one.

We shop at places like Wal-Mart at the expense of others. We throw people in jail for stealing large amounts of money for longer terms than we do child molesters. We buy, we consume, we get what we think we are entitled to because "we worked hard and earned it", and we have enough money and resources to help others but we don't help enough. No high horse, just facts. Go online, type 'starving children' in a google search and look at some of the pictures. Then come back here and join the other couple of assholes that are making jokes.

I suppose if i lived in Minneapolis i'd be upset as well.
I do not know Dave personally but i assume he considers some of the people here as his friends. So he is going on a criuse. Bugs you that much, really?

Sounds like you want to change the world, and have chosen to first crucify Dave for taking his family on an enjoyable trip, then some of the people here because they don't live up to your standards..

Since I've gotten two "classic" responses already, let's see if we can make it three. You paint people with a wide brush here, and across the US. Because you wouldn't do something certainly doesn't mean it's wrong. It appears that if people don't do what you feel is proper, they are out of line. Lot's of words for that, but I won't use them here.

Are you an elected official?
