Cruise Crossword Puzzle

Custom Crossword Puzzle

Hey all - I created this all just for you. Go to the page and print out the puzzle. (that's the only way it will work unless you want to use a sharpie on your computer monitor - but we don't recommend that).

Enjoy!

By the way - If you want me to do more of these - send me more clues and as soon as I have enough I will create a new crossword.

This is great but unfortunately my printer is not working

I love crossword's, but this one is impossible (for me) to print. I only get
"Click here to print this page" .

Any suggestions?

[Paul Motter]

I guess it is possible you may have a setting NOT to print images when you print web pages. The lines of the boxes are actually images - other wise I really don't know.

You could do a screen shot and print it as a picture. Or you could just take a piece of paper and kind of write the answers down in a rough matrix.

Try this - go to the puzzle and hit "ALT+PRTSCRN" and then open Microsoft Paint and do "Edit >> Paste" You will see a new picture appear. So print that.

I'm game for a crossword puzzle anytime, but all I got on the print page was a list of clues and a scattering of numbers - no lines or boxes, nothing that looks like a crossword...
I guess I could just answer the questions....

Sorry - but I think I figured out a solution - not sure how long it will last but we'll see.

[Mike M]

Worked fine for me. Now I just have to figure out the questions. Hint: Don't use a pen.

Take care,
Mike

[Floridanamaw]

You going to give us the answers?

[Paul Motter]

I WILL GIVE YOU A REALLY BIG HINT...


Many of the answers are directly from this list:

Cruise Glossary; definition of cruising terms, common cruise word definition

If you fill these in you should get the rest.

Thanks for doing this. Next time I will work on making the clues more "clever" (this was my first stab at this).

[rollerdonna]

OK, the "crossword configuration finally came through and printed out OK.
Still working on it...
Thanks for making it Paul!

Boy, you are a smart cookie! Bruce was able to print it fine,also....It's amazing how one's mind turns to sludge......you know the word, you jusy can't spit it out Hope more will come!

[Donna]

Oh, Thank you Paul,
Printing out all the words/definitions, should help a lot....Was having lots of problems...

[Paul Motter]

OK, maybe the problem is that I do a LOT of crossword puzzles. I do the ones in airplane magazines in ink and rarely cannot finish one within a 1/2 hour.

Also - these are all cruise words, but I think missing all the other words makes it harder because you don't have so many letters to help you get new words.

Another hint - there are a lot of combined words like "keycard" and "M*****drill"

Thanks, Paul! I have been out of town, and this is the first chance I have had to print the puzzle. Tomorrow I'll tackleit!

[Donna]

I need a few clues....How about the dishwater for one?

[Trip]

graywater I thought.....

[Donna]

Thanks Trip,
That fit!

I have more that I need help on:

Affinity sailing
front of the keel
cruise over land
dining choice
Loyalty program
Self-contained propellar
Propellar shaft
Away from wind

[ToddDH]

Donna,

Front of the keel. Hmmmmmm..........I betcha' "forefoot" would work.

Todd

[Mike M]

bulbousbow

[Floridanamaw]

I am down to 5 that I can't answer. Affinity sailing, cruise over land, dining choices, ship cafeteria and local port expert. Any ideas?

[Donna]

Todd,
Forefoot doesn't fit, needs 10 letters starting with a t....

[Donna]

Florida,
Local port expert is pilot...

[ToddDH]

Sorry Donna, I tried.

Todd

[Donna]

Thanks Todd,
Nice try...its actually 4 letters, second a l and the 4th an e...??

[Mike M]

Bulbousbow is the answer: 5: Down is Busboy and works with 3 down.

Take care,
Mike

[Mike M]

The only one I have left is 44 across. Exposed to wond. What's "wond"?

Take care,
Mike

[ToddDH]

Mike,

FOUL!

I believe I'm correct in saying that all ships have a forefoot..........all ships don't have bulbuous bows, I even dare say there may be even a few old cruiseships out there that don't as well! ;-)

Todd,

You may be correct but bulbousbow and busboy work.

Then again, I can't think of a cruise ship that doesn't have a bulbous bow.

Take care,
Mike

[Donna]

Thanks Mike,
Those did work...

As for 44 across, should read exposed to wind....windward
