Funny Cruise Shirts Have Consequences

WARNING: Don't wear a funny cruise shirt if you don't like humans... or if you're in the Witness Protection Program. These t-shirts will get attention and will serve as an invitation for your shipmates to open up conversations.


The underlying reason for this might not be obvious. Yes, you will get plenty of smiles and laughs from your fellow passengers. More importantly, however, you will kickstart your cruise attitude.

It takes a bit of "pump priming" to get into social cruise mode. For us at least. Funny cruise shirts do just that. They create smiles and conversation openers. You have to be social while wearing one of these below. This snowballs into Day 2 and throughout your cruise. By Day 7, you'll have more shipmates than you can "muster."
