4ensic Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Psst, buddy. Wanna buy a new excursion? It fell off a truck. Ten cents on the dollar. Now do those above a certain class of accommodations get both foils and sets of protective gear?

When a pinnacle fences with anyone lower, the pinnacle gets the foil and head gear, the opponent gets a 12" wooden ruler. rjac, Baked Alaska, JLMoran and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScooterScott22 Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Exciting, I did a little fencing in college, are they going to allow me to bring my own mask and foil? That is not specifically listed and is a sporting goods item, but yes weapons are banned. Baked Alaska and twangster 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Horner Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 If RCL is going to introduce new on-ship excursions - how about the .50 cal pirate shoot? You get 200 rounds of .50 cal and whoever sinks the most Somali pirates - wins a prize! 4ensic, jticarruthers, RickinSTL and 5 others 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCL doesn't offer it but there is a "pirate hunting cruise" that operates in that area of the world, read about it a couple of years ago ... for a lot of money you get a boat with a crew of former soldiers and they take you out to try and get "attacked" ... im guessing travel insurance costs a little more for that cruise.

JLMoran Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 OK, now as a college fencing veteran I have to ask -- will they have proper supplies of not just foils, but epees and sabers as well? I mean, I'm 6' 3" tall, fencing with a foil was never an option for me! ScooterScott22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I liked it, some of the slashes really can sting (and leave a mark) more then when scoring with the foil and epee. I think RCCL might get some bad reviews that people got hurt and it wasn’t pleasant, not to mention some funny marks visible as people are walking around in their bathing suits!

Rccl could actually have a hockey goalie as a celebrity cruiser and passengers could take shots on him in exchange for a donation to one of his charities.

coneyraven Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'd say, take this idea and go vertical ..... Use a Vision/Radiance Class ship --- Strap the participants up in a Harness in the Centrum .... And let them go vertical in the fencing -- up & down --- side to side......

Hopefully, the Lou will get one of the two MLS expansion teams. I have hope for the Cards. Blues, nope. Last nights game was rough against Detroit. I think the MLS chances are very good, especially with private funding its a no brainer. New stadium will be good for Union Station area, although something needs to be done with old EDJ dome. Just sitting there all sad and empty (DO NOT mention XFL...). Cards...ask me after the offseason lol huge fan but its going to be a lot more of the same if we don't address some glaring issues in pitching and middle of the order. But before everyone starts hating the new guy for turning this into a STL sports post...FENCING! Always wanted to give it a try. Little odd of a choice to add, but if available I'm on vacation so why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
