Arizona Cruz Chic Posted September 22, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 22, 2005 For everyone who calls it a boat......... It's not a boat, It's a SHIP! :D :D A boat is what you go in if you have an emergency evuacation. A ship is what you are on during your cruise. :rolleyes: I've been wanting to post that for a long time, thanks for letting me vent!! :D Whew, I feel better now! :D *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justaknucklehead Posted September 22, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 22, 2005 My husband always calls them boats, it drives me nuts. Another thing that drives me nuts, is dinning room and not dining room, nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWCruiser Posted September 22, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 22, 2005 That is so funny you posted this here & now....JUST TONIGHT at dinner my 9 year-old DD was reminiscing about our Spring Break trip on the CRUISE BOAT!

PhoenixCruiser Posted September 22, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Thanks, I too cringe when I see/hear it referred to as a boat. ### Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheerdawg Posted September 22, 2005 #8 Share Posted September 22, 2005 When we cruised on the Sovereign, Captain Loekling said the difference between a ship and a boat was that a ship has a captain and a boat has a frustrated husband and an angry wife!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy ks Posted September 22, 2005 #11 Share Posted September 22, 2005 It drives me crazy when my husband talks about sailing on a boat. I don't correct him in public (or even private) because he gets his feelings hurt so much. But I'd like to say to him "We are CRUISING on a SHIP!" OK, don't tell him I wrote that!

mrdawson Posted September 22, 2005 #12 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Except I get crazy when people try to correct me.....its a BOAT!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda/Ohio Posted September 22, 2005 #13 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hey--whatever floats your boat. There once was a cruiseline known for "The Big Red Boat". I think it is an issue of semantics. Also-those who have spent time in the military...have been known to use boat as a slang or jargon for a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbie0253 Posted September 22, 2005 #14 Share Posted September 22, 2005 As long as I am on it....I am happy....boat or ship. Bobbie <---who had sea legs before she learned to walk. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseman_tx Posted September 22, 2005 #15 Share Posted September 22, 2005 As the Captain on one of our cruises explained, "you can put a boat on a ship, but you can't put a ship on a boat". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired not Expired Posted September 22, 2005 #16 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah, a lot of people miss the boat on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TPKeller Posted September 22, 2005 #17 Share Posted September 22, 2005 And to further complicate matters, submariners always refer to their craft as a boat, even though the boomers are well over 500 feet long and can easily carry several other boats! Case in point, the company that builds submarines is: General Dynamics Electric Boat Corporation. Theron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsBoo Posted September 22, 2005 #20 Share Posted September 22, 2005 As long as we're getting our frustrations out - It's a cabin steward not stewart. But then again, the cabin steward's name could be Stewart;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWCruiser Posted September 22, 2005 #23 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Well while we are at it....2 years ago while on the Disney Boat (just kidding!) my then 3 1/2 year-old wanted ROOM SERVANTS instead of Room SERVICE.
