Psst, purple **Brightie** , for nevers! I have never ever ever been on a cruise. While I’m sure it would be nice, I’m not particularly interested. ---

Point of order: Does it count as a “cruise ship” if it’s only a few hours on the river/lake? Because I’m pretty sure I’ve been on the Goodtime II ( **kittenblue** probably knows what that is) at some point or another, but I’ve never been on any sort of floating vessel overnight. **Really Not All That Bright** , mind your colors. ---

Well, since I just mentioned being on a cruise to Antarctica… yeah, I’ve been on several cruises. Small boats, though, 100 - 150 people, not the monster ships. ---

I have been on cruise ships. A weeklong cruise around the Hawaiian Islands, and another along Alaska’s Inside Passage, as well as steamers along the Mississippi, Missouri, Cumberland, Ohio, Snake and Williamette rivers. ---

> [@](#): > > Um, I say yes. But I’m partial… OK, if you’ve never done that either, then that’s good enough, I guess. I’ve probably been on something which more-or-less qualifies as a cruise ship. Have some calamari. ---

Oh wait- I didn’t think of that. Rats. few hours on a ship on a river or lake doesn’t count. Nuts. Here’s your calamari. Sigh. ---

OK, then, I’ll take it back (sorry to make the scoring hard, Worm) Oh, and when do you want us to submit our Round 2 statements? ---

No worries about making the scoring hard… ya’ll just check the [squidsheet](http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pdvHjMZSDCGFCQODnHv-1MQ) and let me know where I’ve messed up 🙂 And you can start sending in the next round statements if you like - remember, this round you can ask about anything! But for now, it’s time for **Kittenblue**! **Never have I ever smoked a cigarette.** **Seldom bought, often smoked, but I do like cigars better.** ---

Never smoked a cigarette. I tried a pipe for a couple of years in college and grad school because it seemed cool, but I gave it up because my girlfriend didn’t like it. (We’ve been married for 38 years.) ---

> [@WormTheRed](#): > > Come on! That just leaves me and **Hoopy Frood** as “all greens”. I think it just leaves you now. **I’ve never been on a cruise ship.** The closest thing has been car ferry’s and those so-called “cruise ships” that leave Navy Pier in Chicago and make a couple hour circuit back and forth about half a mile out before returning back to navy pier. It’s a boat ride, not a cruise. **But there is an emphysema suffering squid coming Kittenblue’s way.** I’ve smoked two whole cigarettes in my life. And probably had a few puffs of others. ---
