Spam and Pop Tarts?

[Bonny]

I have never understood the appeal of a cruise...floating around on a boat eating all day...just don't get it...I want to go somewhere and explore the people and the countryside.

I get really really sea sick so the ocean is off limits for me. I am a land lover mates. Was on a cruise up in Alaska viewing the Fjords it was beautiful & the seas were fairly calm but oh boy was I sick. A kind oriental lady gave me some ginger to chew on & it helped some. I was so happy to get back on dry land again.

We have or had a Spam factory up in Austin or Albert Lea, Minnesota & a Spam Museum. Lots of people that visit our museum are heading up to the Spam Museum. Usually it is a compromise between husband & wife.

Ships are ran by engines, everything is ran by some sort of mechanical machine.. They do have things break down. Out on the river I have been on a boats that lost its steering, had a generator go out, had a clutch burn up.. Things happen and there is no preventing it...not all at one time thank God! My bet is their main control panel went out, probably what was on fire too..

I would have a big problem having only spam and pop tarts to eat.. EUCK! I'd have been in that galley looking for something else, even if I had to eat it cold! I would have been thrilled with peanutbutter and jelly.. I am like a kid when it comes to that! LOVE it, eat it often! (They'de probably had to make me one before that cruise was over, even it they hadn't had that fire.. LOL!)

Though I do feel for the woman who was diabetic and had not been able to eat enough to take her insulin. That could have been fatal.

JMHO: People keep their mouths shut and then blame someone else when things go wrong. She probably didn't say anything at all on the cruise before or after the fire. If she had said something, esp to medical staff, she would have gotten enough food. I've had students more concerned about privacy than about their health and safety.
