CSW Posted April 27, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2004 CruiserCanyon, Cruised on the cargo ship ZIM Mexico III last fall. Interesting way to go and would do it again in Europe on a bigger vessel that carries more pax. I would not travel cargo ships solo again. It is totally different than passenger lines, and you need to bring plenty to read, etc., b/c there's lots of time to hang out without scheduled activity. I heard the author of Roots wrote aboard a cargo ship. A previous pax before me was studying for medical boards. Google freighter cruising for lots of info. BTY, the ZIM is the ship that collided with the supply vessel in New Orleans recently. That broke my heart has I had come to know the Captain and crew well. Wonderful bunch involved in a terrible tragedy. For facinating reading of that accident go to nola.com Do check out freighter cruising, there are lots of options.
