5 Days to Christmas!

Tomorrow, we land in Costa Maya. Mexico - again!

It's the 5th day of Christmas, so I figure I get 5 golden rings? 

I don't know if it's supposed to count down backwards til Christmas Eve. Don't ask me to Google anything because Internet is one precious commodity at sea - so we're pretty much alienated from any of the world's news or happenings. The Pope could've passed away in advance of tomorrow's zombie 2012 apocalypse and we'd have no idea! This place is one heck of a contained.....container of humanity.

Spoooooky. Zombie Christmas. 

I actually wonder if this would be a decent place to be if the zombie apocalypse hit. It'd either be one of the best, or worst ideas ever. I mean - we have food to sustain us for a while, a lot of cabins and things to do. I mean, things would probably get horrible after a while though and infection could likely spread like *That*.

A quick peek at the Zombie wikia says:

"Cruise ships have many different assets:

• In the ocean (Zombies do not swim)
• Very good visibillity
• Carries insanely large amounts of food, water supplies, etc.
• Fair potential weaponry (fire axes, heavy tools, other improvisational weaponry, etc.)

The nautical experience necessary to steer and maintain a cruise ship is admittedly rare. However, if it can be found, it is potentially possible to steer the ship near potential resupply points, such as abandoned docks and harbors, or deserted islands.
A potential drawback is that a cruise ship with a large number of people on it prior to formal physical inspection will likely have several infected on it that have been hiding their symptoms prior to total transformation. Another drawback is that the tremendous amount of specialized fuel that a cruise ship requires to travel. Not that a stagnant cruise ship is useless as a shelter by any means, but if one gets stranded hundreds of miles out in the ocean, it can be a death sentence directly unrelated to zombies. A crew with a great knowledge of these ships, or general nautical travel is advised before attempting to utilize a cruise ship in the face of a zombie outbreak."

So, if tomorrow's the end of the world via zombie - stay safe! I know I will be on my ship!

.....On second thought maybe not.
