Cross the Atlantic in a cargo ship -- I would totally do this

[Reverend Conehead]

I love this guy's vids. Here's one where he crossed from Europe to North America on board a cargo ship. He has another set of vids where he voyaged from Israel to Italy. Looks like a cool thing to do. I want to do this if I can find a way to swing it.

No, but you can get a casino on just about any cruise ship. It does have a workout room and a pool, which is pretty cool for a cargo ship.

A casino in that bad boy would be a back room, with a folding table and chairs, and a few shady cats (sailors ) with crisp hundreds in their pockets and three fresh decks of cards @haleyrules

Here's one of his vids from his trip from Israel to Italy with a stop in Cyprus. He got some incredible areal shots via his drone of the ship as the ship was being pulled out with a tug boat starting at 12:15. He took a chance of losing his drone into the ocean because the ship was moving. Pretty cool how he was able to do that and land the drone on the ship.

I totally thought this thread was a game of thrones meme when Tyrion Lannister had to sneak out of kings landing inside a crate on a boat to see daenerys targaryen in meereen

Does that guy work for the ship or has found a way to hitch rides?

He does not work for a shipping company. Many cargo ships have normal passenger tickets for sale, usually from 4 to 12 tickets. There aren't that many cabins available, so you have to book way in advance and you have to be more flexible. It's not like a cruise ship where you as a passenger are the highest priority. Moving the freight is the high priority, so you have to be prepared to be flexible for schedule changes. I personally could live with that, so it's why I'm considering doing this.

On a cargo ship? Nah, I'll pass. They might have some unwritten code where everyone aboard has to work.

Haha, true. My uncle worked on them for years, one good thing said they ate like kings which is surprising
