Yeah I'd like to personally keep my carribean vacation separate. I'm doing Scuba or something else if I'm in the warm weather.

Are you an April fool?

Hate to tell you but that cruise ship does not exist.I spent a little time on that link and couldn't find the ship.Clicked on more details and this popped up:

Caribbean Skiing Cruise
We're afraid to tell you that our wonderful skiing cruise to the Caribbean is in fact a figment of our imagination for April Fools Day!

If you would like to take an actual cruise, please see our cruise deals or if you would like to take an actual skiing holiday, please see our ski deals!

Haha. Good find. I never even clicked through to the boarding process.

I could actually see a boat having this on it though.... they already do rock climbing walls, zip lines, wave pools and surfing.

Ha! That kinda sucks but the picture did look a bit fake to me. I could see first timers skiing off the side right into the ocean :lol:

And if you look closely enough at the slope, there are waaaay to many people on that trail. That's a double black if I've ever seen one. Too scary for me!

It seemed hard to believe from a business standpoint:

A) WTH would even want to do that?
B) It's a completely inefficient waste of space
