It’s only been a week since I came ashore, but already the differences between land and sea are staggering, to say the least!  I would’ve never imagined just how much living the high life would taint my otherwise average daily happenings, but now I’m seeing the damages firsthand and boy, do they stick out like [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/adjusting-to-the-landlubber-lifestyle-once-again/feed/ 0 http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/things-learned/ http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/things-learned/#comments Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:00:43 +0000 Scott Sevener http://www.comedic-genius.com/?p=2311
What can I say?  My first cruise was an awesome cruise – I think the previous 11 entries in this series do a fine job of supporting that claim!  I saw all sorts of amazing things, I tasted foods that have pretty much ruined my taste buds for anything else that could possibly come across [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/things-learned/feed/ 0 http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/knick-knacks-curios-and-other-tropical-oddities/ http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/knick-knacks-curios-and-other-tropical-oddities/#comments Sun, 18 Oct 2009 03:15:37 +0000 Scott Sevener http://www.comedic-genius.com/?p=2274
There’s no getting away from the shopping while you’re on a cruise, with something to buy around every corner and plenty of overly-eager salesmen ready and waiting to pounce for a chance at our shiny, lucrative tourist dollars.  And of course, we’re all more than happy to part with our beloved benjamins in exchange for [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/knick-knacks-curios-and-other-tropical-oddities/feed/ 0 http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/food-i-ate-that-probably-shouldve-killed-me/ http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/food-i-ate-that-probably-shouldve-killed-me/#comments Sun, 18 Oct 2009 02:43:26 +0000 Scott Sevener http://www.comedic-genius.com/?p=2246
If there’s one thing that cruises are known for, it’s the food. Amazing food, available pretty much 24-hours a day.  Fancy food, quick food, pizza, lobster, ice cream, and even made-to-order omelets with my own favorite combination of peppers, onions, cheese, and ham – you name it, chances are you won’t have any troubles at all [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/food-i-ate-that-probably-shouldve-killed-me/feed/ 0 http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-cruise-goer-day-in-port/ http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-cruise-goer-day-in-port/#comments Sat, 17 Oct 2009 04:02:47 +0000 Scott Sevener http://www.comedic-genius.com/?p=2271
7:30am – Get out of bed. 7:31am – Yes, seriously! You’ve got an excursion to catch! 8:15am – Wolf down a quick breakfast, albeit one that’s still exponentially better than anything you’d ever make yourself at home. 8:45am – Shove your way to the front of the line to be the first one off the boat. 9:20am – End [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-cruise-goer-day-in-port/feed/ 0 http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/types-of-people/ http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/types-of-people/#comments Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:01:36 +0000 Scott Sevener http://www.comedic-genius.com/?p=1966
I’ll admit that I’ve been known to do a little people watching from time to time.  Really, who can help it with so many weirdoes, errr, I mean characters these days, and let me tell you, on a cruise ship with two thousand other passengers to choose from, the possibilities for a bit of friendly, [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/types-of-people/feed/ 0 http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/as-seen-around-the-ship/ http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/as-seen-around-the-ship/#comments Fri, 16 Oct 2009 01:33:52 +0000 Scott Sevener http://www.comedic-genius.com/?p=2288
So much to see, so many places to explore – wow, is this a big ship or what?! And just like they say, “The bigger they are, the more opportunities for laughter and friendly mockery that they offer.” Rest assured, the Carnival Legend certainly did not fail to deliver in that particular category. Simply put, here are some [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/as-seen-around-the-ship/feed/ 0 http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/songs-you-dont-want-to-hear-on-your-cruise%e2%80%a6/ http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/songs-you-dont-want-to-hear-on-your-cruise%e2%80%a6/#comments Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:06:43 +0000 Scott Sevener http://www.comedic-genius.com/?p=2251
Call me superstitious, but it just seems to me that there’s really no sense in tempting fate… …especially when you’re floating in thousands of feet of water out in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico… I mean, I like a good jam just as much as the next guy.  I’ve even been known to bust a [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/songs-you-dont-want-to-hear-on-your-cruise%e2%80%a6/feed/ 0 http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-cruise-goer/ http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-cruise-goer/#comments Wed, 14 Oct 2009 01:01:45 +0000 Scott Sevener http://www.comedic-genius.com/?p=1971
7:30am – Get out of bed. 7:31am – Just kidding. 10:00am – Actually get out of bed; stumble down for last call at the breakfast buffet. 10:45am – Waddle out to a chair by the pool after eating entirely too many pancakes, eggs, sausages, and breakfast Mimosas. 12:15pm – Wake up just in time to purchase a frozen margarita [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/a-day-in-the-life-of-a-cruise-goer/feed/ 0 http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/the-gilligans-island-weight-loss-plan/ http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/the-gilligans-island-weight-loss-plan/#comments Mon, 12 Oct 2009 16:00:08 +0000 Scott Sevener http://www.comedic-genius.com/?p=1969
So I’ve been thinking… It’s no secret that I’ve been more than a little, shall we say, apprehensive about coming on this trip.  I guess you could say that I tend to be a bit nervous about the unknown, much in the same way that I always shop at the same clothing stores and I’m absolutely [...]]]> http://www.comedic-genius.com/writing/my-hilarious-travelogue/2009/the-gilligans-island-weight-loss-plan/feed/ 0
