Speaker 2
I am great, watching a movie.
Speaker 1
I bet I'd be into that soundtrack, I do listen to most things after all!
Speaker 2
I love movies, so soundtracks are right up my alley..
Speaker 1
Movies are okay, but I find the book versions are normally much better.
Speaker 2
I love watching movies and eating pizza and burgers.
Speaker 1
I'm a fan of pizza and burgers, being able to mix both meat and vegetables.
Speaker 2
What about music, do you have a favorite type of music?
Speaker 1
My music is quite eclectic. At work, I listen all the time!
Speaker 2
I pretty stick to punk music. Tell me more about yourself.
Speaker 1
My job takes me all over, fixing up computers for my loyal customers. Very rewarding!

Speaker 1
A customer just gave  me some tickets to a punk concert for a thank you. I am not into punk would you like the tickets?
Speaker 2
Yes. I love punk bands like NOFX. Is it tickets to see them?
Speaker 1
Wow, yes it is them.  What luck!  I'll give you the tickets but you have to take me out for pizza one night.  Is that a deal?
Speaker 2
Wow, amazing! Yeah that's a deal. What's your fave pizza? I love pizza.
Speaker 1
I like deep dish pizza the best.  Supreme.  Lots of meats and veggies and cheese and everything.  I like my pizza as complicated as possible.  How about you?
Speaker 2
Mmmm sounds good. I like pepperoni and lots of cheese.  I love junk food. Pizza and burgers are the best. What music are you into?
Speaker 1
I was just listening to some classic music actually.  I listen to all sorts of genres but I just heard some Beethoven and I really enjoyed it.  It helps me concentrate while working on computers, too.
Speaker 2
How fancy haha. I'm not sophisaticated enough for Beethoven. I need some screaming in my music. Do you fix computers for work? 
Speaker 1
Yes, I fix them and build them and do just about whatever my clients need me to do to solve their computer problems.  What type of warehouse is it that you work in?
Speaker 2
A peanut butter warehouse. Good job I'm not allergic. I steal it sometimes when I'm hungry but don't tell my boss.
Speaker 1
Wow, I think that would be surreal to be in a warehouse full of peanut butter.  I think I'd be hungry most of the time I was working.
Speaker 2
Shame they don't sell jelly. I could make sneaky PB&J sandwiches at work. Do you enjoy your job?

Speaker 1
When's the last time you went on a cruise?
Speaker 2
I think it was about two years ago; I have to save up quite a bit for each one so it takes me a while. Hopefully, by next year, I'll have enough to book my another cruise.
Speaker 1
I was thinking that I might start saving up to go on a cruise.  Do you have any recommendations for destinations?
Speaker 2
My last cruise was to the Caribbean and I had a blast, but this time I'm saving to go to Alaska. I think it mainly depends on what type of activities you're hoping to do. Is there anything specific you're hoping to experience? 
Speaker 1
I'm not sure.  Do you think more of the value of the cruise comes from the things to do on the ship itself, or from the place you're going?
Speaker 2
I like both aspects of cruising - that I can see several different places on one trip and that I don't have to worry about transportation, food, or nighttime entertainment.
Speaker 1
Is there any worry of getting seasick?  I got seasick one time as a kid and don't want to experience that again.  Are the cruise ships too big to have to worry about that?
Speaker 2
I don't usually get motion sickness, but we did hit a storm one night on my last cruise and I definitely felt it then. Maybe invest in some dramamine or a motion sickness bracelet? Also, I would think that a bigger ship might be a better option for you so there is less chance of you feeling it. Is motion sickness usually a problem for you? Or just on the water? 
Speaker 1
I've never had a problem in a car or airplane, just in a boat one time.  But that was enough to never want to feel it again.  I could definitely get some dramamine.  I didn't realize there were motion sickness bracelets.  Have you ever used either?
Speaker 2
I've never used either of them, but the dramamine worked out well for the friend who went with me. Was the boat you were on smaller? Like a fishing boat or sail boat? I would hate for you to run the risk of being sick the whole time, but I really think that you would enjoy the cruise.
Speaker 1
Yes, it was a fishing boat.  We went out deep sea fishing and I spent the entire trip hanging over the railing of the boat.  Not sure if my breakfast attracted fish or not.
Speaker 2
Wow! That would probably put me off boats for a while too. But you said it happend when you were younger, right? Maybe give a bigger sailboat a try to see if you've outgrown it?

I only get seasick occasionally. I have never used dramamine.
Speaker 1
I booked a sailing excursion for next week to see if I get seasick.
Speaker 2
Well have you been prone to motion sickness before? Such as in a long car drive or an airplane? 
Speaker 1
No, just like I said before, only the one time.
Speaker 2
Well just make sure you don't eat too heavy while you are on your sailing excursion. Will you be with your family if something happens?
Speaker 1
Just me. I don't want to book my cruise until I find out if I'll be okay.
Speaker 2
Of course I understand. Where will you be traveling if you plan to go on that cruise? Any place fun?
Speaker 1
Alaska! It's so hot right now and I want to get away from it.
Speaker 2
WOW yeah you're definitely going to have a blast. Just as I mentioned it was one of the places that I want to go as well. Very jealous that you are planning that trip! 
Speaker 1
If I find a good deal I can let you know. I'm looking to go in August.
Speaker 2
Perfect timing for that, especially if you are looking to get away from rising temperatures. Who are you planning to book your cruise through? 
Speaker 1
The internet? I don't know. I was just going to try to find a deal online. Do you have any advice?
Speaker 2
Expedia actually has some pretty good cruise deals that you can use. I go through Expeida all the time.

Speaker 1
I know your trip goes absolutely well. I will come next time with you
Speaker 2
I would like it if someone came with me on my next cruise.  It would be fun to have a buddy alone.  
Speaker 1
What kind of activities do you like to do while on a cruise? I imagine you do a lot of sight-seeing. But I'm curious what else there is to do.
Speaker 2
I tend to sign up for at least one excursion for each island.  That way I get to do something really fun on that island and then I spend time sight seeing and shopping in the local markets.  
Speaker 1
That does sound like a lot of fun. I think I would enjoy that. Too much of my travel is, as you know, for work. I don't get to see much!
Speaker 2
You would get to see a lot the way that I do it.  Last time I swam with dolphins, snorkeled in the ocean hiked in the mountains, and rode horses on the beach and in the serf.  It was a lot of fun and so much to experience.
Speaker 1
I'm am very jealous now! I would love to swim with dolphins and hike mountains. Much better than hiking stairs to a hotel room! I like that it is all-inclusive, except for shopping.
Speaker 2
Yes if you sign up for the excursions when you are signing up for the cruise and buying the tickets it is all included.  If you try to add them after you are on the cruise you will have to pay more for them.  I always pick what I want to do when I am signing up for the cruise and buying my tickets.  That way it is all included and I already know one thing that I am going to do on each island.  I have sand from 3 out of 4 of the last islands that we went to.  
Speaker 1
Oh, that is a neat thing to collect and have as a memento! All I usually get from the places I go is a magnet for my refrigerator. And that doesn't work well since I got a new stainless steel refrigerator! I will definitely come with you next time. Where do you want to go after Alaska?
Speaker 2
I am think that I would like to go back to the Caribbean.  I would love to see St. Croix, and a few of the other islands there.  I have been to St. Thomas and Tortola.  I would also like to see Antigua so I am open to different locations, but would like some place warm.   
Speaker 1
Yes, I think warm with beach when I think of vacation and cruises. Not that Alaska would not be spectacular with its scenery and wildlife, but something about beaches and crystal blue water that says "vacation" to me. My work keeps me so busy so I really want to be able to relax and enjoy myself.
Speaker 2
On a cruise you would have that chance on sea days.  Those are days that you are only at sea when sailing from one island to the next.  Those are the days that you can lay on deck and swim in the pools.  Play some of the games they have and eat lots of food.  They are nice relaxing days and a lot of fun as well
