Kiss & Make Up - Or pillow and blanket in hallway?

[sevenofeleven]

Just wondering.....cruises can be stressful. Anyone ever have a domestic argument on board and had to leave the stateroom with a pillow and blanket? And if you did - where can you spend the night aboard the Dream? Any couches or just deck chairs? Outside on deck or any inside comfort areas? I am not worried about our own cruise (yet), but has it happened to you?

One of the biggest problems with the decks is that they stack the loungers and chairs at night. You might be able to find some. But they have some of these round loungers in the Adults area. Those would be great if the weather is cooperative. I'm not sure if deck 4 stacks the chairs or not at night. It would be covered in case of rain. You could also try the movie theater, even if there isn't a show playing.

No never, the toughest issue is getting the children out of bed for a early shore trip, ie my view of early 7 am is different to theirs of 12 noon.

I thought cruises were supposed to be relaxing, not stressful!!! I don't plan to be stressed or argue with my family during my first cruise, coming up soon.

This is the first I've heard of cruises being stressful, someone tell me they are as relaxing as I always thought!

They are relaxing......( just leave the kids in bed) . Sneak out quietly.

lol although I didn't have an arguement my ex once locked himself out of our stateroom sleep walking and I was so deep asleep that I couldn't actually hear him knocking. He ended up wandering to reception and sitting in the seats down there for a little bit before guest services asked if he was OK and got him a spare key. He claimed the seats were extremely comfy to have a little nap in.

If you have a balcony though I'd personally suggest using that or just pull the curtain and one of you sleep on the sofa (there's a partition curtain between the two). The sofa is very comfy!

Never had this problem, I would hope you can just kiss and makeup and not ruin a very expensive vacation.

Seven days on a ship, in a confined space, even with the one you love can eventually be stressful. My husband and I had a spat on our last cruise...we were rushing to get ready for dinner on an evening that you dress up. My in-laws were in the cabin next door and we had the balcony opened between the 2 rooms. I wanted to just get away for a second after our argument and couldn't go on the balcony because my in-laws were out there (they were already ready to go). I ended up just stepping out in the hallway, made a lap, took some deep breaths and all was well.

On this particular cruise I was never able to schedule any spa time...I blame that!

In all seriousness, an entire week of 24/7 with your whole family where the only alone time you have is in the bathroom (if even that... you know, kids and all!) is stressful. I'm one who needs a little bit of alone time. Yes, even from my husband.

i've been married forty years. my husband is trained to say 'sorry dear' the minute i look at him. we haven't had an argument in thirty five of those years. he's a smart smart man.

If my marriage were in a position that I was considering where one of us was going to sleep in the event we got in to a fight that was so bad we could not pull it together and sleep in the same room, no matter how angry...I would very likely be canceling the cruise or I would book two rooms if this was our "last vacation as a family before telling the kids were getting a divorce". We spend a lot of money on our vacations and going in to the vacation with the potential of not being able to get along enough to stay in the same room does not sound like an enjoyable vacation...now if I found him cheating or something like that...well, we would not have to worry about where he was sleeping...because he would have a nice salty water bed to sleep in the rest of his life.

Now if you are hypothetically thinking out loud...I have had clients get in fights with partners, spouses and once a mail order date from Brazil (no, im not kidding!) and we've arranged hotel rooms for them. The one time the hotel was sold out, the man tried sleeping in the lobby of the Four Seasons. Security did not allow that, so we had to shuffle staff around and give him our room for the night. The mail order guest locked him out of the room and ran up his credit cards with online shopping! He was fired from the company upon return due to "budget cuts".

You do or say whatever is necessary to make up so you have a better chance of joining the verandah club.

Wasn't there an episode of the Love Boat where someone took a pillow and blanket and slept in a lounge chair on deck? There are padded lounge chairs on deck 4 of the classic ships, I guess you could unstack one if the cleaning crew is finished for the night. Better to just get along with the spouse I think!

Ooof, no. If I thought that might happen honestly I would probably cancel the vacation as that is a LOT of money to spend when I'm worried I won't even be able to sleep in my own bed! That said, the couches do tend to fold out to another bed so you could always have your kid (if you bring one) sleep with the other parent and take that? My brother has also spent the night in the tub at hotels before to escape my parent's snoring when we were younger... the tubs are smaller but if you have one that isn't round and you're short maybe you could swing that? Or balcony sleeping?

Stress happens.

DH and I have not figured out how to make the last day of packing pleasant. Not sure why packing is so annoying. I think it's because I used to do it all and got used to it, then he started traveling for work and figured out how to pack. So now there are too many cooks in the kitchen. And a combo of his way of not asking actual questions plus the room attendant moving things around resulted in me having a cross country flight in very inadequate flip flops. In January.

We also had a really solid verbal argument on our honeymoon cruise.

No one has ever slept on the deck or balcony.

We have always had issues communicating. It is what it is!

Saw a good quote just yesterday. A successful marriage is like a casserole. Only those responsible for it know exactly what goes in it.

So to those who see an argument on a vacation as being a death knell on the marriage, just stop. Might be for your marriage, wouldn't be for another. If my husband apologized if I looked at him or "yes dear'ed" me, rather than expressing himself and communicating, THAT would be the end for *our* marriage. Every relationship is different.
