8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 5

[yargrnhoj]

Interesting PC info I found:

Before the canal, ships journeyed 8,000 nautical miles around the tip of South America.

Maybe we can do this trip next time!

In order for this to happen, the abuse the CM was receiving was terrible. Donna left the desk in tears a couple times because of the people yelling at her. I don't feel that anyone has to tollerate that kind of behavior. I think that people were able to call in after they got home for a few days to make reservations with the onboard discounts in that case because of the extreme circumstances.

that is just so inexcusable!!!!

our cruise we had a really rough night on the last night (of course at the end of a wonderful uneventful cruise though) - I will admit to being pretty scared and not getting sleep - but it never occurred to me to blame anyone or take it out on any CM???? (though I did want to call during the night and say "um, is this OK - should I be worried???"..but I didn't want to appear too chicken!!!! )

Nope, not gonna say a word, I'm goin' to be a good boy!!!

Leave it to you Andy. I think not saying anything is going to be just as bad as saying it. Too funny.

BTW, she's going to kill you.

And I have to say, I forgot to mention that I was SO feeling like my grandmother!!
My sweet, sweet, grandmother...
She has a HUGE collection of recipes that she has gathered over the years...I call her all the time to get them from her. (I actually offered one year around Christmas time to type them all out and make them into a HUGE cookbook for her...but she refused. She likes her system of keeping all of the recipes in a box...Gotta love grandma's filing system)
So anyhow, my dear grandma always makes side notes on her recipes when she adjusts something, like 1/2 cup less of this...etc. So I'm making these brownies, and going by the recipe in the Better Homes cookbook. AND I MADE A NOTE IN THE MARGIN about the "less cocoa, more sugar, add the chocolate/peanut butter chips"!
I SO felt like my grandma at that moment!!

Okay....anyone who speaks so sweetly of her grandma is in my book....I have a sweetheart of a grandma, too.

Just had to share this with you. A DFriend of mine e mailed me this.

WOMAN'S PERFECT BREAKFAST
She's sitting at the table with her gourmet coffee.
Her son is on the cover of the Wheaties box.
Her daughter is on the cover of Business Week.
Her boyfriend is on the cover of Playgirl.
And her husband is on the back of the milk carton.


UNDERSTANDING WOMEN
(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)
I know I'm not going to understand women.
I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and STILL be afraid of a spider.



WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."

 

[ChrizJen]

Had to go grab lunch, and now I'm back...And I'll be here for most of the rest of the day!

For those of you who followed my dilemma from last week...guess where my boss went for Valentine's Day???
Kansas City!

Now I don't expect him to spend it with his soon-to-be ex-wife, that's understandable...but he has a 6-year old son (of whom he currently has full custody!!!!) And he dumps his poor son off with whatever relative is available when he wants to make these treks to KC...It just makes me sad for that little boy. He's already going through a lot with his parents in the middle of a nasty divorce...

Anyhow, off my soapbox...so the good part for me is that my boss isn't here...and I'm all caught up on work, so I can PLAY!!!

 

[cinderella_mom]

Happy Valentine's Day!

 

[cinderella_mom]

Michelle--

Since you have experience with this event and know some of the pitfalls, can we nominate you to the planning committee?

FUNNY GIRL!!

I merely attended and enjoyed but would be more than happy to share what little I remember reading about the problems the organizer encountered, most of which by the way were DCL headaches.

Michelle

 

[ChrizJen]

That is SO true!!!

Now WHY doesn't that surprise me?

 

[ChrizJen]

Aaaw, come on! I knew he had it in him all along!! He was just holding back!!

 

[Joel110]

Oh. I thought that meant Joel was 110. Sorry, Joel for all the extra candles.

 

[pansmermaidzlagoon]

Yes it was in January 2005!! If you were on Deck 9 either before or after bingo that day, we were the red-eyed girls that the band referenced.

I know so many people were upset over that cruise and that a lot of letters were sent to DCL complaining, etc. Um, hello.. you booked a cruise!! That means you're out on the ocean. Duh! Reason would follow that weather might play into where you get to go. If I didn't want to miss certain locations, I certainly wouldn't be booking a cruise! My friends and I just sat in the lobby that evening laughing and laughing at the people. We even nicknamed one of the worst couples, Mr. & Mrs. Craba**.
