Recently, with all his strange press conferences and poor political behavior, doesn’t it seem like Rod Blagojevich could use some chilling out to get his head back on straight (the guy can’t even get his fingerprints right)? I’ve decided a cruise would be perfect for him--and I know cruising. I’ve sang karaoke, played miniature golf, had a martini in a revolving restaurant, and even attended an indoor parade—all in the middle of the sea on cruise ships.
Now I never pegged myself as a cruiser. I like adventure, and places unknown, and solitary paths that lead to hidden discoveries. But every now and again, I like to just relax, kick up my heels with the rest of the human race, and have a lotta fun. A cruise ship is a great way to go.
When you factor in that once you’re onboard, your meals, lodging, and entertainment are included, it’s hard to find a better value—and judging by his debt, Blago could sure use a good value (and a good haircut!). Plus, heavily discounted rates available right now means that you could theoretically go cruising for well under $99 a day.
And the ships themselves are getting more and more fun, and catering to a younger audience, too. Forget shuffleboard (unless that’s your favorite)--now you can rock-climb and ice-skate, play pool on self-leveling tables, get fantastic aromatherapy massage treatments, and even whiten your teeth (surely Blago would like that last one). You could be on a live game-show that gets broadcast to every stateroom on the ship and become an instant onboard celebrity, or you could dance all night long in a nightclub.
In short, it’s been over a year since my last cruise, and right now’s the right time to take my next vacation afloat. But, Blago, please, if you’re gonna set sail, here’s to hoping we’re not on the same ship.
