I can't afford to take cruises so I travel the hard way.
Last year I went to America by swimming, just to make travelling interesting I tied one hand behind my back. If anyone wants proof of this I can show you the very piece of rope that was used to do the binding.

My Father is from Iceland and my mother is Cuban ... Does that make me an Ice Cube ???

Eighty degrees today as we sail the blue sea. Not a crossword puzzle in sight, except those in the well stocked library which are all in American English (ie the answer to 3 down is "COLORS". The clue was red green gray. Thought it was too easy for even this forum, but then perhaps not. Just had my butler serve lunch, the steward has changed the towels, and the Captain now wants advice on whether to turn to port (left) or right (starboard - see Im nautical already)
So see you in a couple of weeks, landlubbers.

And I thought you guys knew everything! In the absence of any better suggestions I'm going to coin the word "conataldiurnalist". And, no, I'm not too old for the Silk Road, lots of old folks in China I hear.

Well, if we're into designer words how about "homoparturient".
