It's a damn boat and they sometimes parallel park them.

BOAT

 

THERE I SAID IT

[LeftatGator]

A boat is what you go in if you have an emergency evuacation.

 

You mean like that big white Carnival "boat" that is being used for Katrina???:p

[Arizona Cruz Chic]

I just wonder what the Captain or an Officer thinks when someone asks a question about the BOAT they are cruising on!!!

I bet they just want to cringe :D

.....and the ship has decks not floors!:D

[Grumm]

Having just come off a Princess cruise, I suggest we settle the argument by calling the floating vessel an "ark". Some of the sights I saw going up the gang plank two-by-two!!!!

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".

But you can put a ship on a boat! But that would be a tragedy. For the boat.:eek:

I'm sure many of us were already aware of the correct terminology without your edification. (flame me if you want, but I say this "tongue in cheek"). ;)

 

That being said, I don't give a rodent's rear end what you call it as long as you don't make me miss it! :D

LOl...agreed! However, if you do miss it, you will be taking a boat to catch up with the ship!!!! :D

I have several relatives who are Navy aviators - They LIVE to tweek the regular Navy types -

 

"So I get on the boat and ask if the bathroom is downstairs at the front of the boat and to the right" :D

[mbisson]

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:

Aren't submarines called "boats"? In case of emergency, I want one of those.

 

Other than that, I've always though of boats as a vessel that will fit on a ship (as others have said)

And without a doubt, some of us have the VERY favorite:

 

MUSTER DRILL! (not mustard drill!) (except on the brand new, not-yet-christened, Mustard of the Seas)

You get it girl.

During the question session near the end of our cruise, someone referred to our vessel as a "boat".... The Cruise Director leaned over, and in a loud stage whisper, said to The Captain "He called it a BOAT!!!......."

....The Captain didn't really care.

[FCOWHER]

Whether you call "It" a ship or a boat, "It" should be referred to as "she". Joe V.

[ORANGEinINDY]

So.. why do you put CARgo on a ship.... and a SHIPment in a truck?

[OCruisers]

The Looooooooooooooove Boat!! ;)

 

"Exciting and New ........."

[mems]

GROAN....Sematics......that means I have to call the bathroom the "head". Excuse me. I refuse to P in a head.

[MrsPete]

It's not a boat, It's a SHIP! :D :D

Well, that sure affects my plans.

[wastin' away]

Wow... people will get their panties in a bunch over the strangest things...

[mtchg]

..I cringe when I hear that as well..and it is very common to hear it on

a cruise.

Unless I know the person, I don't say anything...just gnash my teeth.

I think we can all agree they are vessels.

No, a vessel is a sink. :D http://search.ebay.com/vessel_W0QQfclZ4QQfnuZ1

I paid a lot of money to go on a cruise and i will call it a boat if i want to, while I am the subject if i want to have on jeane and tank top for formal dining i will, I will be rude to everyone at dinner and be the table mate from hell, along the same subject i will bring crying kids into the dining room to disturb everyones dinner, I will be the one who pushes every elevator button before you get off the thing. I also will be the one who does not leave any tips for anyone all cruise long. I will also let my son go in the pool in swim dipers, and not really care what others think (my son is 28 so he might look kind of funny) there must be other things i can do to be rude and crude on my next cruise, so every one just look for me on a cruise I will be easy to spot, I will be the one being made to walk to plank.
