Reason # 1435 to stay at a resort hotel vs taking a cruise.

Cruise ship runs aground in Antarctic (Star Tribune)
Nearly 300 passengers, including 113 Americans, were awaiting rescue Wednesday from a Norwegian cruise ship that ran aground off a remote Antarctic island, damaging its hull.

Just as a reminder, reason # 1 is that resort hotels have absolutely 0% chance of sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

I understand its still middle of summer in the southern hemisphere; but what kind of knuckleheads want to take cruises to go see penguins and ice bergs on their vacations. If they want to be cold and eat lutefisk, come to MN on your vacation.

After "Poseidon Adventure" I was pretty sure I didn't want to go on a Cruise, and after "Titanic" well...

Gah... On land, you'll get clobbered by a hurricane. You can ride those out on a ship.
