I hope you are felling all better now

Thanks Hadley. I'm getting there!

For us it was the Carnival Cruise we took in 2000. We were seated with an awful family (and we didn't know back then to ask to be reseated so we just dealt with it). We dreaded dinner every night which mostly consisted of the teen girl complaining loudly about missing her boyfried and filling everyone in on the contents of her phone conversations with him. We tried to explain to the mother and grandmother that the phone calls from ship were really pricey but they brushed us off. On the fourth night they literally SCREAMED at us during dinner because we had not been specific enough when we told then how expensive it was (it was posted on the phone) because they had been called to guest services to scan the credit card again having hit $500 (all in phone calls). They complained non stop about the waitstaff (who were great) and failed to tip at all on the last day (saying loudly that they paid enough for hte cruise and had no intention of paying any more). Meanwhile the 12 year old boy entertained himself through dinner by belching loudly and making other gross noises intentioanlly. As if dinner were not bad enough, 80% or more of the onboard activites were some form of gambling or drinking games (neitehr of which we wanted to participate in) and the kids hated the child care. Many of the passengers were totally frat party drunk all week and it was normal to find deck chairs thrown in the pool, etc. We could not wait to get off the ship and will never sail Carnival again.

My God that sounds bad! Glad I wasn't on that one

Hi everyone:

I just found this thread, I booked the TA repositioning cruise last week. I am Magie, I will be traveling with my DD Michelle and her roomate Chris. No kids this time (school makes that impossible). Michelle and I did a 4 day Wonder in September 2009, and will be doing a 7 day Magic with my DGDs in June of this year:. This cruise looks like it is going to be alot of fun, I cannot get over the fact that the cruise is over a year away and there already are 2 threads each over 200 pages long and a third about to be started.

I have not had a chance to read more then a page or two of these threads but I am sure that when I do I will enjoy them. We have never been across the Alantic and I am a little fearful of the flight, but I am sure that it will be worth it.

After I have read all 454 pages I will be back to you. Must go now. Magie

Welcome aboard. I'm Sarah and I'm travelling with Dan my DBF. I've done 5 Disney cruises and hes done none so should be interesting.

That sounds like a grea trip. I wish I could help you but I do not know much of anyting about the Munich area. The closest I have been was to Legoland Saturday. I CAN tell you that spring is here full on now and the weather should be lovely

I'm glad to hear the weather is warming up! I think I've figured out much of what I'll be doing while I'm there. I had considered Legoland since I have son who is a Lego fanatic, but I'm not sure I want to take time away from some of the historical stuff we'd like to see.

Did you enjoy Legoland?

Welcome aboard!!!! I have a hard time keeping up with this thread too. But they are a gracious bunch and don't mind if you hop right in and join the conversation. We have plenty of time to get to know each other.

Can't wait to meet you on the ship!

I am so glad you are figuring out what you want to do

We loved Legoland (bought annual passes), but we also love Legoland California. This one is very similar but quite a bit bigger than Legoland California was the last tiem we were there (5 years ago). However, if I only had a week or two in the area I doubt I would go--unless your son would need a break from regular siteseeing or if you can split adults up and have one of you take him to Legoland on a day when your DD will be busy with dance stuff all day (how old is your DS?). If you do decide to go maybe we can have a mini meet

Todd, congrats on the new car. We just picked up our new one at the factory in Wolfsburg a little over a week ago. It is always fun to have something new and fast to drive

Thanks , though I dont get to pick up the car as it is made in Oshawa Canada and mine is yet to be made (I think) but it should be soon ..

[tinker1bell]

Magie. yes read fast. I unfortunately did not take notes

 

[womanredress]

Welcome aboard to our two new members! Taking notes is a good idea, I should have done that. I can't remember any of what I read through...

Hi everyone,
sorry I have been gone so long.
I have been at my moms house trying to care for her. But she has reached the point she had to go to the hospital for a week to recover from a heart attack and pneumonia , panic attacks and that illness brought on dimentia.
She had been forgetful for months but now she is very bad and quite ill, so we had to find a secure facility for her to live in for how ever much time she has. I will be going back to her place in a couple days to continue to clean it out to sell and to visit her while she still knows who I am.

I know I wont have time to go back and read all the posts for the last 3 weeks but I hope everyone is well and Welcome to any new people, I will meet you soon.

I'll post when I can but there is no internet at my moms, so it wont be very often for the next few weeks. I cant wait for this cruise. That is what keeps my spirits up right now!!

[NHdisneylover]

Kathy--you will be in my thoughts even though there will be few posts from you. I am very sorry you and your mother are going through this right now.

 

[LindaBabe]

Oh, Kathy, I'm so sorry you're having to go through this - and sorry for your momma, too. What a blessing , though, that you are there at this time. Hang tough! And take care of yourself, too, babe!

 

[Bareacuda]

Magie. yes read fast. I unfortunately did not take notes

WE were supposed to take notes????

Kathy... prayers and pixie dust are with you and the family


Welcome all newbies!

My thoughts are with you! My Grandmother and one of my Great Uncles are both suffering with dementia and my mother is the main carer for both (although my Uncle's just recently gone into a home). It can be hard but you have to take the good days and forget the bad! Occassionally youll see the person you love and that's what you have to cling to. Good luck with the next few weeks.
