According to a sign that caught my eye as I rolled towards yet another dining room, the average cruise passenger gains 12 pounds during a cruise of two weeks. Or was it one week?<\/p>\n

The suitcase that tipped the scales at 49.6 pounds, a golf shirt or two shy of costing another $50 for excess baggage.<\/p>\n
