SOOPOO you could just be getting off a cruise ship trapped on the ocean the last 100 days. Imagine the story you'd have to tell.

I've thought about that. In retrospect, I'm very surprised my wife decided to go. No doubt if it was a week later we wouldn't have. Wife likes cruises more than I do. But there is no way we go on one if positive COVID-19 test on board would result in possibility of not being allowed off.

I think I would still go. Not if I knew I would be stuck 100 days, but if I just thought I might be stuck for an extra amount of time that wouldn;t bother me.

At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Hopefully you’d have a balcony room if you get stuck onboard for any extra amount of time. An inside cabin would feel like solitary confinement. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman

Definitely a balcony room. I won a cruise for the Party Poker Millions poker cruise, along with the cruise was the $5000buy-in for the poker tournament. That was the only time I had an inside cabin and I wouldn;t do it again. I love sitting on the balcony and drinking coffee every morning, and maybe a few cocktails in the evening.

Two things my wife considers
divorcable offenses. Even
suggesting going on a cruise
or getting an RV. She hates
doing what she considers
things that are below her
'station' in life. She's really
really smart, Valedictorian
of her class, 4 point in college.
Too smart if you ask me.
She read all the Dickens books
a few years ago just for fun.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.
