Yikes! Reason #2,493 to stay away from cruise ships--even on dry land...

[catbyte]

Apologies to those of you who love going on a cruise. They're not my thing. I probably shouldn't have gone to see "The Poseidon Adventure" when I was a kid.

4. Holy Freaking Cow!!

The best vacation I ever took was a Trans-Atlantic cruise on the Queen Elizabeth II. I met Hermes Pan, on the cruise. He was Fred Astaire's choreographer, among others. I spent an evening drinking cocktails, with him, while he told some amazing stories about old Hollywood.

I remember standing out of the deck, on night, under a brilliant full moon. An absolutely breathtaking thing to see, while floating in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

5. Good thing the radar mast was still rotating.

6. I couldn't make out logo on the 'river' cruiser the big ship rammed.

One of the guys on gangplank went into the water.

7. That happened months ago, in Venice, Italy

If you watch this video on YouTube the date is June 2, 2019:

Four people were injured, probably the ones trying to get off the river cruise ship.

9. Thanks to csziggy for telling us when this actually happened.

This is hardly an everyday occurrence. To say the very least.

10. Is that a valet parking item being returned?

Better have a chat with that attendant......

Great that no one was hurt. Could have been much worse.
