Topic: Uboat Cruises

My boss got a brochure for european cruises  including one 21 day cruise from london up to the orkneys to iceland to greenland to ireland to london

which I thought would be the most expensive 3 weeks of fog he could buy

so why do that suckiness when you could cruise in a Uboat and pretend to shoot at boats like that?  That would be a cruise to remember

somebody tell Richard Branson about my idea and he can pay me through paypal

Re: Uboat Cruises

Why would anyone want to go on a cruise anyway? It's a floating prison!

So is the International Space Station, but you don't see the astronauts complaining.

In Russian Republic, astronaut shoots you!

...I need more coffee.

Still, I think it would be cool.  Everyone likes the submarine ride at disneyworld or wherever, right?

Re: Uboat Cruises

They were using German U-Boats for research and ocean floor mapping for decades after WWII.  I'd cruise on one. As long as i got to yell in German and shoot unprotected cargo ships! Only negative might be the no showering and limited food supply. Everything would be from cans basically. Oh, and the diesel fumes... But that makes it authentic! tongue

Re: Uboat Cruises

ofc!  and maybe torpedoes with dyemarker warheads!

there'd be some people who'd abuse the system and 'spawncamp' outside harbors, but on the whole I bet it would be great fun!  you know the Japanese would drop a packet to take that cruise

could even liven up normal cruises
