One Crazy Cruise

One Crazy Cruise, also known under its working title Tripwrecked, is a 2015 children's film that was directed by Michael Grossman. The movie premiered on Nickelodeon on June 19, 2015 and centers upon a family that wakes up on a cruise ship with no memory of the previous night.[1][2]
A map showing Florida and Cuba also traces the path of a cruise vessel. It takes a straight line from the Gulf Coast to Havana for a stop at Sloppy Joe's bar. It then takes a meandering series of aimless spirals, while "How Dry I Am" plays in the underscore.
With so many cruise lines to choose from, how on earth can you narrow down the options? Let's turn to the experts to hear about their favorite cruise experiences. Collectively, these four sea dogs have sailed on more than 600(!) ships.
A: While I probably would not consider taking a Christmas cruise on my own, if the subject was broached, I think it would be aboard Star Clippers (www.starclippers.com) under sail between some offbeat islands. There, the islands usually aren't connected to the holiday normally enjoyed at home. That way, I wouldn't feel that I was missing things like a White Christmas, trimming the tree, and all the food preparation that goes with the holiday. These ships are great for any age and the relatively small number aboard would be so much more low-key than one of those monstrous cities at sea. I live in a metropolis at home, so I don't need to take it along for a quiet Christmas celebration.
A: I grew up being fascinated with the QE2 and Cunard's transatlantic history, and took the first of 10 crossings on QE2 when I was 13. The uninterrupted stretch of sea days, the feeling of power and speed as the ship slices through the North Atlantic swells, and the sense of nostalgia for a bygone era all combined to create an atmosphere that transcended time and attracted like-minded guests who reveled in the ship. To top it all of, there is no better end to any cruise than arriving into Manhattan in the early morning, passing the city as it slowly wakes up -- and all without jetlag.
A: I don't see how any grumpy, not-yet-converted cruiser could resist SeaDream's (www.seadreamyachtclub.com) mix of pampering -- think caviar in the surf or dinner on deck with its informal, this-is-your-ship mindset. When was the last time that a big ship encouraged you to sleep outside, swim off the stern, or grab a snack from the fridge in the middle of the night? Trying to be more yacht than ship, SeaDream squeezes into tiny Mediterranean ports that bigger ships can't get into, making a non-cruiser's vacation just as much about where you can go as what you ship you're on.
A: Cruise West (www.cruisewest.com), Spirit of Oceanus, Bering Sea. "Getting away from it all" is a typical goal for many cruisers and other vacationers, but those people usually mean "all" metaphorically. On this cruise, though, we took it literally. Sailing from Nome, Alaska, Oceanus spent two weeks visiting islands and towns on both the Siberian and Alaskan sides of the icy Bering Sea -- places where populations are counted in the hundreds and the landscape is as stark as the face of the moon, with not a tree in sight. The U.S. and Russia sit only a few miles apart here, and both countries poured in resources during the Cold War. Now the party has moved on and the region feels alternately post-apocalyptic and pre-Columbian, as Native peoples and ethnic Russians move back in the direction of a traditional subsistence economy. Sounds fun, huh? Go figure: I loved it. It was like sailing right off the map -- a feeling that really does it for me.
A:For me, Christmas without the kids. My son is now 18 months old, and I haven't had a full night's sleep that whole time. Let me fantasize about traveling without the little guy. (Let's say he's staying with Grandma and Grandpa, and having a ball). Given my druthers, I'd probably choose to sail with Hurtigruten (www.hurtigruten.us) up the coast of Norway to Kirkenes -- but since my wife would chop my head off if I tried to drag her to the Arctic in December, I'll instead choose to sail with Paul Gauguin Cruises (www.pgcruises.com) in and around Tahiti. Christmas in paradise: Why not?
A: InnerSea Discoveries (www.innerseadiscoveries.com), Wilderness Adventurer, Alaska. Just last week, I was having a beer with my friend Kurt, who knows I'm a writer but does not know that I write about cruises. Somehow the word "cruise" came up and he shuddered. "Ew, that's my worst nightmare, being on a cruise," he said. I answered, "That means you aren't thinking of the right kind of cruise," and proceeded to tell him about a few small-ship options that get their guests out into the wilderness for full days of hiking, kayaking, and wildlife-watching -- all things Kurt would love. InnerSea won't be offering their first cruises until summer 2011, but I don't hesitate to recommend them for three reasons: They're being created by the people behind American Safari Cruises, which is a well-established and solid company; I sailed aboard one of their two ships, Wilderness Adventurer, during her previous life with another adventure line, and enjoyed her cozy, unpretentious feel; and InnerSea's cruises will be priced well below what you'd pay for a lot of other, equally adventurous Alaska cruises -- an important consideration for Kurt because he has two young kids he'll need to put through college someday.
Writer and ex-New Yorker Heidi Sarna has sailed on more than 100 cruises, the first in the mid-1990s aboard the 800-passenger Cunard Princess out of Malaga, Spain, which at the time seemed huge. Her next two cruises are coming up in July.
A: I'm cheating, but it's a three-way tie between the adventurous tall-ship voyage through French Polynesia aboard the Star Flyer I did a few years ago with my two best friends; the elegantly sporty perfect-for-couples Wind Spirit between Istanbul and Athens with my hubby (pre-kids) exploring places like the ancient ruins of Ephesus and the cafes of Mykonos; and the Disney Magic (www.disneycruise.disney.go.com) round-trip from Barcelona with my two sons and husband. The four of us had a ball aboard the surprisingly sophisticated yet kid-centric ship. From Rome to Naples and Sicily, we loved exploring the ports -- always with a gelato in hand (and often on the chin and down the front of the shirt as well).
A: With my 7-year-old boys in tow, we'd go for a Crystal (www.crystalcruise.com) cruise to some place warm over Christmas. The line's two mid-size ships offer the best of many worlds -- elegance, great cuisine, and excellent adult classes and activities on ships -- and at just the right size. We'd get sophistication and intimacy as well as wonderful holiday decorations throughout the ship, and also really good kids' programming. During holidays and summers, the kids' programming is impressive, with dedicated play spaces and supervised activities (scavenger hunts, arts and crafts, karaoke and video games). And given the size of the ships, there will never be too many kids aboard to crowd things for anyone.
A: The Norwegian fjords aboard a Celebrity Cruises (www.celebritycruises.com) ship for several reasons: First, a 7-night Norwegian Fjords cruise from Amsterdam or Copenhagen practically guarantees the seas will be calm because you're never far from land, so my curmudgeonly friend couldn't complain about seasickness. Second, the scenery is so incredibly stunning, who could find fault? Sure Alaska's Inside Passage also has great wildlife, but there's no comparison to the majestic fjords of Norway. The amazing hike I did through the mountains from the port of Geiranger is my favorite cruise excursion of all time. Third, the Celebrity ships are simply gorgeous. Whenever we weren't exploring in port, we'd be flitting from one hip lounge to another, soaking up the ambience of the restaurants and ogling the ships' amazing art collections. Even a sour puss couldn't fuss about the spectacular ship design coupled with the Norwegian scenery.
The 14th annual Back to the Bricks is running through Saturday, with the main cruise down Saginaw Street being held that day. Crowd estimates reach 600,000 spectators for the week and 40,000 classic cars.
Another major annual Michigan cruise, the 28th Street Metro Cruise in the Grand Rapids area, attracts more than 250,000 attendees and 15,000 vehicles. The Wyoming Kentwood Area Chamber of Commerce started the cruise in 2005 to drive business to the 28th Street corridor when M-6 opened. The cruise this year is being held Aug. 25-26, marking its 13th year.
My first week in New Zealand has been an absolute whirlwind of events! We landed in Auckland on the North Island Wednesday morning and there was no downtime from the get-go. Arcadia sets up their orientation to minimize jet lag and also do as much as you can in just a few short days. In our first day in Auckland, we walked around downtown to the harbor where cruise ships come in and then headed to a beach and North Head Hill, which overlooks the city of Auckland and the harbor which was absolutely beautiful.
The next day we went to Waiotapu Geothermal park, where we saw bubbling mud pools, watched the geyser Lady Knox erupt, and had a guided tour around the park, which was absolutely amazing. After the park, we went zorbing which is one crazy experience. For those of you that don't know, zorbing is when you get into a huge plastic ball with a little bit of water, and then just roll down a hill! When you watch it, it looks like it is going very slow-- but when you are in the ball, you feel like you are FLYING down the hill. After zorbing, we had some free time and then headed over to a Maori village. There we were able to experience different aspects of a traditional Maori village and then eat a hangi, which is a traditional Maori meal where they cook the food in an underground oven. It was definitely my favorite meal so far this trip! 781b155fdc
