We shall skip by the religious connection - although that is certainly part of hell - and go to being quarantined on a cruise ship hoping you don't get the measles.
The measles vaccine was developed in 1971, so people who started school before that year probably all got it and are now immune.
So anyone over, say 55, isn't going to be infected. So all the old farts can take care of the young'uns who never got vaccinated.
What's the Scientomalogist view on vaccinations? (Always add the Homer Simpson 'ma' to that word, because Scientomalogists search the internet for usage of that word and will follow-up as they deem necessary!)
I just hope they have enough liquor to make hell on earth tolerable.
They had all their vaccines, including the vaccine for mumps. But then something almost exactly like mumps, but apparently not mumps, got them and now they're stuck until everyone gets better.
Back in 2006, I was on a cruise ship that departed from Piraeus and island-hopped through most of the beautiful Greek Islands.
They kind of shoe-horned me into an already-established tour group, so everybody knew everybody else, and it wasn't easy finding friendly people to hang out with. I found some, but it had been easier on earlier tours. It helped that I spoke at least enough Greek to get around. Most of the people didn't speak any.
I didn't care for the shipboard experience. I didn't stay up for the late shows because all my energy went into in-port exploring.It wasn't the kind of big, splashy ships that you see advertised. This thing, I found out, had been a converted auto-ferry, and smelled like it. My room was not much bigger than a broom closet, and inside, so no ocean view unless I went topside.
There was a tiny little pool topside, but it wasn't big enough for real swimming, and it was as warm as bathwater, besides.
A number of the food orders got messed up, and it seemed to fall to me to be the interpreter to untangle things. When the right food got to the right people,it was heavenly, but often a confused mess until them.
All in all, I loved Greece, but I would have like another approach.
Many times I considered jumping overboard and swimming to shore myself, dragging my things in a watertight bag. It might have been easier. I enjoyed Greece, the people were delightful, but I didn't get to spend enough time in the places I liked most. If I had it to do over, I definitely would.
My brother took me to Alaska twice. We had a balcony and it was so wonderful to sit on the balcony away from all the other passengers watching for sea life. That is where I spent most of my time. We didn't go to the big meals with the whole ship. We dined alone. There is that option these days. I don't know if there always has been. We didn't do the ship provided side trips. We explored on our own. Since my daughter used to work for Princess, she told us what we needed to know.
I'm actually not interested in going anywhere very far anymore. I got to go to Alaska 4 times (2 on land) while she worked up there, which was the #1 thing on my bucket list. Not like I have a bucket list. I always wanted to go to Alaska.
