a reason why i stay away from cruises that are asia-based and asian-run. what's the point of booking a cruise where the majority smoke and cough and spit in your face. you can be strong and confident, but 2nd hand smoke will kill you. :p

You are right. If you are not like the usual crowd and gather at the usual places e.g. the casino, the captain's deck, the buffets (to have the quick bite and be the first to go off to some organised tour), you should be able to find some quiet corner to set the spirits in the right mood.

if i find someone congenial, that's good...but if i find someone offensive and uncouth...just let him run his own life and I not allow him to pull me to his level nor allow him to make me feel miserable. He is entitled to live the life he chooses and I am at liberty to live my life.

why get miserable just because someone doesnt live up to my expectation?

you got it wrong. there's a difference between royal caribbean the cruiseline and caribbean cruises. caribbean cruises usually sail out of fort lauderdale in florida and have 7-day itineraries around caribbean islands off florida to the bahamas to the gulf of mexico or northern shores of south america. there are so many cruises there year round, so much demand, so many people (usually 1st timers from the u.s.), so crowded, so cheap, so over-rated and over-sold that they become toilet cruises.

Two things. Today, Sinkies are more self-conscious. PRCs are not. We know if we open our mouth, it is all Singlish coming out unless we are more careful. Even if we speak in a polished tongue, we can leave the odd impression in others: "Why is this Chinese speaking in English? No he is not American because he doesn't roll his 'r's".

The next alternative is to try speaking in Mandarin or dialect. The Chinese will probably know you are not one of them but to the others, including Americanised ex-Sinkies, you are some loud-mouthed PRC. So better remain quiet.

Secondly, we are conditioned not to speak our mind. So what do we have to announce to the public about?

Just wondering whether Neil Humphreys is a forummer here. He might be able to gather sufficient material for his new book when you have finished with your cruise. Or was he the one who invited you?

if you're sailing on an oasis class liner, the latest two ships, oasis of the seas and allure of the seas, have recently been upgraded to carry over 6000 passengers and 2300 crew members. these two ships normally sail the caribbean. but if one of them is sailing the far east, it's big news for the cruise world as neither of them can get thru' the panama canal. it must be a smaller ship. :p

mariner of the seas, voyager class, 3000 passengers, 1000 crew.
10-night exotic asia cruise
departure: june 8, 2013
ports of call: singapore, ho chi minh, hong kong, okinawa, jeju, shanghai
starting price: usd1,170 per passenger
