Private Moment Gone Public Results in Warning for Texas Cruisers
Most Texas cruise vacations begin at the Port of Galveston. That port has improved so much over the past decade and has even bigger plans for the future. No matter where you are in Texas, Dallas, Houston, Waco, Waxahachie, and even Muleshoe, your best bet on a great cruise vacation will begin in Galveston.
It's not surprising that cruises out of Galveston have become so popular. You get sun, you get surf, you get a lot of booze, and you get the chance to let down your hair. You just have to make sure that it's only your hair that is "getting down" in the ship's public places. Oh, and why are the people in the pineapple-themed clothes always so friendly?
If you've ever sailed on a cruise you know the party gets started as soon as you get your ship's card. And that's when cruise guests find themselves transported from their mundane day-to-day lives into a world that only a Kardashian could love. Below is a picture of the Atrium on the Norwegian Prima.
Of course with all of the external stimuli, the free-flowing booze, and the fact that you're on vacation it's only natural that couples find themselves in the mood for love. And that's great, that's what cruise vacations are for. They help you rediscover or rekindle your romance. And, if you're traveling with kids, the cruise lines have programs to keep them busy while Mom and Dad get busy. You know discussing taxes and whatnot.
The romantic mood of a vacation at sea is often enhanced by the fact that if you have a balcony stateroom, you can "do it" with the door open, the windows open, the breeze blowin', and as long as you're on the open ocean and not out on your balcony you'll have all the privacy you need.
But when you're not on the open ocean and in port, your balcony stateroom could suddenly become "must-see TV" for the staterooms on the ship next door. An incident involving passengers and an intimate encounter was recently discussed on a cruise-focused podcast.
Cruise News Today host Doug Parker reported a couple on board a Carnival ship in port forgot to close the curtains on their balcony stateroom and thanks to the way lighting in cruise cabins is engineered they managed to put on a show for the vessel next door.
The same can be said of having the curtains open when you're getting dressed. Sure it's nice to have the fresh air in the stateroom but those prying eyes while you're prying on your jeans may not be the best way to start your cruise day. Then again, some people bring pineapples on cruise ships and that's a whole other story.
Bottom line, if you don't want to show your bottom to strangers, close your curtains or keep your pants on. And if you'd like to save some serious cash on your next seagoing adventure, check this out.
