What can go wrong on a cruise holiday?


Listen, mate,” he said: “The only problem I have with cruises are the other passengers.” He went on, waving his finger at me.

“Oh yes, son,  unlike other holiday types, you can’t choose your company. Like it or not mate, you will be spending the whole holiday with the same group of people around you, day and night. It's a right royal pain in the arse.”

Then he thought of something and smiled at me. My spirits lifted, for a moment.

He burst into song. and it was Hotel Californi
a and he sang it through to the line “You can check out but you can never leave." 

"Yes, mate, that’s you stuck for the next fortnight in a floating tin can bouncing about the ocean seas. I mean, think about - you are rightly screwed."

"Don't forget the tablets and make sure your cabins got a comfy toilet. You'll be going from both ends at times, oh yes. he chuckled to himself with the thought.

He seemed to be getting great satisfaction from anticipating my demise.
“Oh yes, mate rather you than me” were his last words as he walked away.

Now, what am I going to do? I thought to myself. He's right but she is going to go ballistic if I back out now.


Holidays bring out the best and worst in people. Taking an adult only cruise holiday to the sunny Caribbean in mid-winter seemed a great idea.  What could go wrong?

Join Luke and his wife on the cruise of a lifetime which is memorable for all the wrong reasons as passengers die and tensions rise.
