The Sea Witch Stole My Voice! Our Two Week Land and Sea Adventure! COMPLETE 4/12

It sounds like you needed to get that out! LOL I'm glad you got it off your chest!
She sounds like she is trying to play mommy to you...which you quite obviously are not having, nor should you. And, she also sounds like she maybe was a bit jealous of your dad spending so much one on one time with you guys and giving you all of his attention. Well, too bad! You are his children and always will be! You were around before her and will always be a part of him. She can come and go and he will always have you!
Sorry...can you tell my parents are divorced and my dad has a girlfriend with two young kids and I feel like she wants him to pretend like they are his and not devote as much attention to me??!! OK...rant over!

Oh how yummy Palo looks! My one regret we did not get to go on our cruise. Great pics.
Your stepmother needs to get a life-really.

You'll just have to eat there next time you cruise.

I totally agree on Maria

Yes, I definitely think she was annoyed that he was spending so much time with us instead of with her. Hello! You get him all year, we get him for one week, deal with it and get over it! I really despise her!

 

[Mysteria]

I think I'd have paid $15.00 for the dessert table alone!!

Yep, definitely a stick needs removing.

I almost wish that I had left a little bit more room for dessert, the cheeses and walnut bread were just so good!

I so badly wanted to tell Dad your comment about the hiking and sticks but they share an e-mail address so knowing my luck she would see it and it would start WWIII.

OY!

Instead of pouting, she really could've made a positive impression on all of you by being gracious and not acting like a 2 year old spoiled brat.

You are right, the first part of the trip I felt sort of guilty for not being friendlier as she hadn't done anything weird/rude/etc. Well I got over that the second half of the trip.

I know it would be nice for the kids to be accepting of "new" parents, but it really is on the parents first to make the move of graciousness. After all, the kids weren't the ones getting divorced and re married. Just my opinion. Now if the step parents are gracious and are met with attitude well that may be a different story.

If you only knew the whole backstory behind Dad and Maria, I won't get into it here but let's just say it is not pretty. She definitely needed to do some major sucking up to get us to like her.

Hi Rosie, not only did I sit at the wrong table I drank the other person's champagne. Lessa and I were the first one's to be seated that morning, after we were given the grand tour of all the buffet stations and the entree choices (this tour took less then 10 min, as the waiter describes everything!! just thinking about it is making me hungry... when can I go back ) it seemed like 20 minutes had passed before other guests were seated, it is hard to place yourself without a landmark. I blame Lessa, it's her fault if she could only pull herself away from the cheese and bread table.

Oh and I forgot to comment on this part. That's priceless Beth. lmao:

Lessa - Text him.

As I was looking at the food at Palo I just kept thinking, "How could I ever decide what to eat??" There are so many yummy choices! I'd love to try that mushroom soup.

 

[morgtroy]

Palo's brunch looks scrumptious. Did you try the chilled strawberry soup? We had that on a cruise with RCC. Like you we were trying new things. I really didn't expect it to be good but it was wonderful! Thanks for sharing, looks like a "must do" when we do get to do the disney cruise.

 

[princess_momma]

Definitely do it! I agree that the $15 per person is not bad at all considering the quality of the food, service and atmosphere.

That's really not bad at all!! You've talked me into it!!

As for your stepmom...that's just so ridiculous. Some people will just never be happy and find faults just so they have something to complain about. Sorry you had to deal with that!

That is not a problem, you can order/eat as much as you want, so long as you don't mind feeling like a glutton.

I did not try the strawberry soup there but I have had it before, once at the Grand Floridian and then at Parrot Cay the first day of the cruise. I love strawberry soup but I was focused more on the bread and cheese!

Yeah, it is rather unfortunate that Dad had to pick such an annoying woman to leave my mom for.

 

[PopArtGal]

Palo looks great. Looks like my kind of place.

As for the e-mail your dad sent you.... Why did he do it? It was uncalled for. You don't need to know all of that.

Let her be. She's a miserable woman who's only happy if everyone else is miserable. Maybe she would have liked to have kids with your father, and you remind her of what she'll never have.

Anywayz, she's not worth the time you spend talking about her

Hi Rosie, my dessert was the best, talk about low-cal. I was really good on this trip, I only ordered dessert 2x, the whole time. I ate a lot of fresh fruit each day, as the fruit was so fresh and delicious, I think I had a large fruit plate each morning for breakfast, then I fixed a small plate to take back to the room for snacking on later. It was a VERY HEALTHY cruise for me.

That was def.low cal!!! Good for you Beth!!!

Lessa , I am speechless at Maria's behavior !!! I know that is shocking Rosie being speechless !! The Bros of course looked soooo educated in your Dad's glasses!! But that didn't seem to impress the evil one !!!Who I have renamed Devilia !! An abbreviation for Der Evil Maria !!

He sent the e-mail because I asked him to let me know what was bugging her if he ever figured it out.
