We know what the next stop in the Saw franchise is..

and it involves a Carnival Cruise.

Carnival Cruises has announced that they are now offering a Saw themed cruise. Now, before all of you horror fans get excited about immersing yourself in the terrifying Saw experience, it turns out the vacationers on the cruise don't actually live out (or attempt to live out) some of Jigsaw's tests and games. (which given the state of some other cruises - like a distracted Captain waving to shore, or some disgusting viral outbreak - may not be the most terrifying thing to happen at sea). So potential bummer #1? Instead of being terrified at sea, the cruisers will instead be able to PAR-TAY with the "'SAW' stars, and meet other fans who love the franchise. Second potential bummer? Jigsaw won't be there – Tobin Bell, the only actor to appear in all seven films is not scheduled to appear. Third potential bummer? If you read the fine print "Autographs/Autograph Tickets of the SAW stars are not included in any Cruise package. They can be purchased onboard."

The organizers try to make it seem that at least SOME of your experience won't be cash only, since you will get free individual photos with SAW Stars (taken with your own camera). And you also can attend a "FREE pool party and FREE dance party with "Saw" stars." The cruise departs from New York in August and travels to "beautiful points in Canada" (the shooting home of the last six films). Looks like two type of cabin are already sold out, so get in there if you're ready to set sail.

I'm commenting before people complain that you have 'net' instead of 'not' when talking about Tobin Bell.  
 
But otherwise this seems like a waste of an otherwise fine cruise experience.

The only other stars with name recognition in the series are Danny Glover, Cary Elwes, Donnie Wahlberg, and Shawnee Smith.  I had to look up Shawnee Smith because I was just going to put that girl from the surprisingly decent The Blob remake.

Still no weirder than the Goth Cruise.

Indeed. He should've said "proofreading".
