K&RCurt Posted February 9, 2006 #1 Share Posted February 9, 2006 The "activities" that are being put on cruise ships. RCCI has anounced that the new Freedom of the Seas will have a BOXING RING. Now you can take that altercation over cutting in line at the buffett or hogging a chair and "Fight it out" fair and square! Where do they come up with this stuff?

Orcrone Posted February 9, 2006 #2 Share Posted February 9, 2006 What they don't tell you is that it's on top of the rock climbing wall which is surrounded by the skating rink. So you have to skate to the rock climbing wall, climb the wall in your skates while carrying your boxing gloves, just to teach that chair hog a lesson.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bepsf Posted February 9, 2006 #3 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm still waiting for NCL to pull the old SS United States out of retirement and make it into the first cruiseship fast enough to be used as a waterski-boat! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john & Gerrie nj Posted February 9, 2006 #5 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I see the S.S. United States almost every day- it's sad the condition she is in I was told the interior is completely gutted of anything saleable. I'm positive there is a market for a fast nostalgia cruise ship I only wish I had the cash to buy her and Syndicate the refit. If you get to Phila you can see her. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramcruiser Posted February 9, 2006 #6 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Yeah it was just yesterday that we were discussing the bowling alley. I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Soon one of these big gargantuan ships will host the Olympics by themselves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevNeal Posted February 9, 2006 #8 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I stole a toy off her when I was aboard as a brat. It was a block ... one block. It's green. I think Mom and Dad still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herb Posted February 9, 2006 #9 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I came over to the US with my parents from Germany aboard the SS United States in 1957. I don't remember anything, I was one year old :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randyk47 Posted February 9, 2006 #10 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I came back from England on the United States in 1953 and, unfortunately, I was old enough to remember most of the trip. Of course, the thing that sticks out in my memory is that it was the first....and luckily last....time I got seasick on a ship. In that sense green is something the RevNeal and I have in common about the SS United States. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localady Posted February 9, 2006 #11 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I just wonder, what demographic leads them to put a Boxing Ring on board....:rolleyes: Now all they need is buckets of beer and you got real entertainment!!!! ;) Just like my Grandpa used to watch the fights on Saturday night!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
