Bored? Try a SailorJack Marathon

[Yorkvillain]

Wow. I just got done reading all of SailorJack's reviews. Absolutely tremendous. I don't even know what my favorite part was but right up there has to be when he was in the tomb in Egypt and put one hand on the wall in front of him to protect his head while his other hand reached back for SailorJill.

 

Well done Jack. I may have to read them all again.

LOL - I did the same thing last month!! They are the best... :D

My favorite is the Norwegian Dream review when it hit a barge and knocked some cars in the bay! Never laughed so hard at a review!

Thanks for the links.

 

I haven't read Sailor Jack's yet, but I did a marathon of Radio's reviews one recent rainy day!

 

This should keep me busy for a while, as well as serve as antidote for my severe post-cruise depression! :)

Ah, he sure knows how to write. Excuse me now while I wipe off the mascara that is running down my face from my tears of laughter. :D

[Cruzin-K]

I'd read them all before, but went back and reread a couple of my faves. The two Star Princess reviews, and the Dream/Nightmare are my favorites. Can't wait to read the next one.

The best cure for me for the post-cruise depression is to start planning my next cruise and then read (and re-read) all the great Radio, Trainman and SailorJack reviews!

I also loved the Dream review...can a cruise get any worse and still be funny?:D

I started reading the first link but had to stop. You see, I am at work and I started laughing so hard that my co-workers gave me a look like ,she finally lost it.

 

I have the weekend and the heck with cleaning the house. I will read each one and laugh out loud.

 

[NoRoxie!]

I have never read anything as engrossing and entertaining as his reviews! I even created his own folder on my PC.

 

Time to update....and thanx for the reminder :)

I laughed so hard I almost peed in my pants.

[FloGaleRNTX]

Those reviews are the BEST!!! His writing style is just hysterical (even if he uses a bit of poetic license at times)!!! I just love the attitude too.....I mean, you are stuck in a port for countless days, and you still have a great time?????

 

I spent almost all of last Saturday (a VERY warm day here in the Dallas area), reading all the reviews. What a great way to spend a day!!

...he doesn't cruise often enough;):D

[DragonOfTheSeas]

Thank you for the heads-up on the Sailor Jack reviews. They are VERY funny. I have not yet read the ones you all say are the funniest. But, I will.:):):)

[pabrett46]

Thoroughly enjoyed his reviews.. I lol'd many times.

[rubrrick]

He is the cruisers dream of Dave Barry!!:D:D

 

He does tend to repeat a couple of lines about Sailor Jill, halarious the first time I read it (my DW wondered why I was laughing so hard at my computer screen!!) funny the second time............and then you get the picture, but overall, one of the best reviewers that Cruise Critic has had the honor of having as a member!!:);)

Dave Barry.. that's right he does remind me of him.. I was thinking Stuart McLean of the Vinyl Cafe.. but either way.. he has a gift.

I think the Dream review was my favorite as well - it was quite an adventure and I had fun sitting around the pool each day writing about the previous day's adventure. Next up is the Oosterdam in October - a 23 day trip from Seattle to Sydney. Assuming enough happens to warrent a review the next one should be in early November.

 

Thanks to everyone for the kind words - I am glad you enjoyed them. I certainly enjoy writing them.

Making my way thru these reviews, they are absolutly fantastic!

The one with the camel is my favorite. As I was reading this I had tears running down my face as I was laughing so hard. I still chuckle to myself whenever I think about it :D

[d4nigirl]

He's one of my most favorites to read!

As you can tell from my signature, the Dream was also my favorite and each time I read that one sentence, I still laugh.

Can't wait for the fall!

[SailorJack]

Glad you enjoyed the reviews. I posted my review of our Oosterdam south Pacific cruise yesterday. A link to it is in my signature.

I read them all a couple of years ago. Time to revisit them. He is by far my favorite reviewer....:D
