why isn't there much kino set on modern day cruise ships? they're like self contained floating cities , with the added drama element of being stranded on the water they would be great for a horror movie.

Poseidon Adventure remake flopped and cruise ships are for actual boomers who can't afford a yacht.
>Ghost Ship
>The Haunting of Mary Celeste
>Triangle
>Deep Rising
You really never seen these OP?
OP needs to watch the opening scene of Ghost Ship
Deep Rising is great fun
Ghost Ship’s holographic DVD cover is cool
Cruise ships have turned super ghetto now. It’s like going to the Rio casino in Vegas, it’s a disgusting nightmare.
There are tiers of cruises, and Carnival is a low one. The higher tier ones (eg Regent) are occupied entirely by wealthy boomers--many are fat
Carnival is indeed the party Black person tier cruise.
A step up is royal carribean
At the top is probably Disney
I recently went on Norweigan Cruise in Europe and it was repulsively fat americans, most of which didn't even get off at any of the destinations

passenger to crew ratio is still the gold standard for determining what quality of service you are going to get.
I've gone on a number of cruises during COVID and I've had a great time. It really wasn't realistic to travel outside the country.
Personally I prefer the Junior Suites on the mid sized Holland America Line.
Oldie, but goodie
SPEED 2
Was going to say, I think this ruined that idea for most people
Yeah, cruise ships aren’t know for their speed. lol.
I bet it was an existing script they had just lying around and they just repurposed it for a quicky sequel. Who wants to spend time writing an actually good script in Hollywood, right?

Teen hard-on kino
An entry in the Scream series would be good on a cruise ship.
>sydney and her friends are on a multi stop cruise
>each city they stop in ghostface seems to attack
>she thinks its one of the crew
>turns out there is a different ghostface in each city, all of them separately (or maybe coordinatng) trying to whack sidney prescott
something like that
Wow. Imagine all the seafood and champagne laden diarrhea this thing dumps into the sea every hour.
Maritime anon here, just quit my pseudo-military job to work on a riverboat cruise line
AMA about why major cruise lines are fricked and I will answer, both as a passenger on many and as an industry insider
Why are major cruise lines fricked?
>AMA
What's the wettest you've ever been?
Took a walk while in port in Japan during a typhoon
Humans are the worst cargo. Specifically, Americans are the worst cargo. If you go on a cruise line during any major holiday, you will be experiencing an entire ship full of drunkards. You’ll have to listen to a drunk grandmother scream at you that her grandson (who has never had alcohol before but is of legal age to drink at sea) has “fallen overboard”. You’ll have to wake up the captain because he has to know about a potential MOB. He already hates you because he’s likely a stuck up greek or Turk who’s only working on a cruise ship to molest the blonde Norwegian female mate and make her life a living hell when she refuses to suck you off. So you call him and he screams at you and then you have to turn the ship around and waste precious time trying to find this guy (and you will NEVER find a man overboard unless you witness them fall and can immediately turn around while someone keeps their eye on him)
Of course, after two hours you’ll find the drunk child passed out in the woman’s restroom. Great, now you only have to deal with the dozen other missing passengers or drunk fights. All the while you have to deal with a crew from a dozen different countries who all hate each other and speak they bare minimum of English (and you are supposed to know English as maritime law demands it for licensed bigwigs, yeah fricking right)
And as soon as you get into port you need to tie up the ship. Since cruise lines are fricking massive and your captain is a drunk greek frick, this always involves accidents such as the degloving of hands and the destruction of piers.
The only plus of being a mate on a cruise ship is that all the third world entry level women want to frick you so they can sleep in your room and not the slave quarters
I am a third mate. Basically I maintain safety stuff and for eight hours a day I am on the bridge running everything. The money is ridiculous (1/2)
The money is ridiculous, considering I work only half a year. $600 a day and you save so much of it since the ship is paying for room and board for the half of the year you’re there. If you sail and spend a few years with the parents you can save enough to buy a great home
Well when I was pseudo military, meaning I was a civvie on a civvie run navy ship, the entry level positions were always filled by inner city blacks and third world Filipinos. They would ape out all the time and it was common for them to stab shipmates with knives and suffer zero repercussions. Even easier on a cruise ship. All you need to do is get some poor c**t drunk out of his mind, find one of the many empty places outside the skin of the shit at 3 AM, and let him go over
How long and how difficult was it to get into it?
Military sealift command will hire anyone with a pulse. If you are white and have a mediocre work ethic, you can advance fast. Once you have a position you’re comfortable with, leave MSC for anywhere else. Join a Union or something. From there on out you’re set. If you want to start higher up the foods chain, go to one of the maritime academies and start off as a licensed engineer or mate (basically white collar). I recommend going to the maritime general on /n/ and reading the sticky.
Are you out right now? Do you guys have decent internet?
No I’m drunk at home. Deep sea all you have is ship computers with ass internet and basic email capabilities. Rivers and inland, you get signal
Damn, that sounds terrible. You like Deep Rising?
Haven’t seen it
It’s not bad. My laptop is loaded with games and shows and I have like, 300 books on my e-reader. It’s nice to take a break from Cinemaphile and be forced to read for a while
You should check it out, a classic cruise ship horror you might like.
Thanks, favorites for me are Master and Commander and Deepwater Horizon, not a boatkino but close enough
You can also walk down to your local Seafarers' International Union/Sailors' Union of the Pacific/etc. SIU will send you to their academy on a contract
very interesting, hadn't heard of them, thanks
What exactly do you do there? Are the money good?
realistically how easy could someone get away with a murder aboard one of these vessels
You mean cruises? I would imagine impossible. There are cameras virtually everywhere, motion sensors that detect “bodies” falling over board, and you’re never almost a couple yards from another person always (unless you’re in your room, which at that point gg)
>why aren’t cruises shown more in movies
Cruises are degenerate “holidays” for people who hate travelling. They’re also some of the most unhygienic things in existence with an end result always being sick from being on a boat with 3k other people for 7-14 days. Also the zog virus basically put the industry on the brink
last thing I remembered that involved a cruise ship was sweet life on deck
Because they're full of boring boomers doing boring boomer shit
>why isn't there much kino set on modern day cruise ships?
Not modern day, but the old tv show Love Boat is kino
I absolutely love and respect the off the charts amounts of autism and time it took for someone to make this.
It's a who's who of tv actors of the 70s
Willingly stranding yourself on a ship with a ton of strangers is my version of hell. I will never, ever get on a cruise ship. Only absolute morons think this is fun.
horror movie idea: someone like you wakes up on a cruise ship, goes mad and starts serial killing.
You live under the false idea that living in a city is any different, just because... you can drive away or something? You've never been to one, you're highly exaggerating it.
If you think "hell" would be being in a fricking cruise ship with some people, I don't know what to tell you, you sound like a massive moron. Pretty sure being in some african raided city or some Ukraine shelled town would be way worse... buh uhh.. what do I know?
Use your words better homosexual. Your version of hell is literally and unironically the most stupid thing I've heard
Have sex incel
for me its the negress who launched herself overboard after a brawl. another Black personing on a carnival cruise.
Sauce me
