How was there nothing to do?
With that many people and activities there must always be something to do. You stayed in your room and watched Fox News?? What kind of cruise was it and what is your age range?
People are crazy. I went on one years ago, and they had a scavenger hunt.
“First person up here with full dentures gets 100 points!” People spitting their dentures into their hands and running up holding them in the air above their heads!
TV not my favorite thing, but I believe it was April, 2003. No Fox News. Banned, I presume. CNN International. Turn the TV on, they reported the same "incidents" of Americans killing Iraqi civilians.
