If you’ve never read a Stephen King book or watched a Stephen king movie?
Never mind.

I’ve never been on a cruise, and have no desire to board a floating Petri dish of noro virus contagion… but if forced?
I’d bring John Coffey from The Green Mile, the only Stephen King book that literally made me weep. If you don’t think the master of horror and weirdness can pen a heartfelt and beautiful story? You need to read The Green Mile. I dare you not to choke up when John cures the warden’s wife.
That poor man is in dire need of a vacation.
And if John can’t come, because.. you know, he’s dead?
I’d pick Andy Dufresne and Red, from The Shawshank Redemption. The other King masterpiece that proves he can really write if he wants to.
Andy, Red and me at the bar…. raising a glass to Rita Hayworth, second chances and friendship.
Yeah, I can see that.
How about you…
What Stephen King character are you taking on a cruise?

River's world..... 
If you would have asked me this before I read your post, I would have said no way. But I had forgotten about The Green Mile. It’s been a long time, but I have seen the film. I mist revisit that film.

It was a very good film. And I wept at the same spot as the book…

I think I’d chill with the movie version of Pete from The Long Walk & Chris Chambers from Stand by Me..both those dudes were wise beyond their years.

Fun loving guy that I am, I would go with Kurt Barlow from ‘Salem’s Lot (The pale, pointy version from the ’70’s. or, if he can’t make it, Carrie White would be enchanting-for a minute.
