Bumping off a family member for the insurance money??? ?
 
Can you imagine the weight gain from all those meals and drinks? ?

Ok...my name is Jane and my cruise can’t come soon enough!  Yes...they are all my posts!  Jane

Ok... That whole aspect hadn't even dawned on me.  I was only thinking about the cruise fare.  Ugh... You are right.... That is a huge amount more.  Jane

Ok.... This just cracked me up.... And then I started thinking about which family member I could bump off for the insurance money!!!   Can you imagine how amazing this would be!!!!   Jane

@mom2mybugs Jane--I think I solved your problem. You can even make it a group cruise with @Lovetocruise2002 @Sweety @twangster @Boston Babe @tonyfsu21 etc. And since it's so long, you'll need @JLMoran to relieve @twangster on photography duty.

Yes, they did. They even had red velvet cheesecake.

Tea snob, suite snob...anything else we need to know about you?   ? 

Cruise Radio covered this in today’s (Jan13) podcast. Had a guest who was on board recount the whole thing. Guy was in the medical profession and had nothing but positives to say about how they were treated and how the crew handled everything. Said they were clearly well-prepared and well-drilled on the procedures to follow. Very level-headed discussion and no baiting or trying to steer the conversation in a way that would sensationalize it all.
Definitely give it a listen if you’d like to hear a first-hand perspective.

I am with Sabrina on this one.  I always try and get to the early shows so that, in case those earlier ones are cancelled (for whatever reason), I can catch a later one. If you wait until the later shows and THEY get cancelled, you are out of luck.
The down side is...I guess most people think the same way b/c those earlier shows are usually the most crowded.
Don't miss the Fine Line.  IMO, it is the best Aqua Theater show of them all.  Amazing work on the slack lines.

I am happy you are going to Europe. Florence (David) and Rome (Vatican), wine and olive oil.

My two favorite cities. This year I am teaching two social science classes along with Algebra Trig. I use my pictures in my classes. It makes history real to my students.

My husband is a high school social studies teacher so she has been prepped!!  Can't wait to see Athens and Rome!  Jane

She is going to love Europe. She will be meeting history in person. I have meet a lot of teens and they couldn't wait to take pictures back to their history teachers. I will be taking my great nephew (6) in 2022. 

This helps pass the time until you actually get to cruise!

Exactly, you would have a problem if you didn't have anything lined up. 

Around here this isn’t considered a problem. It is considered completely normal.  

I feel your energy. I think of the quarters of school in terms of cruises. 1st quarter no cruises, 2nd quarter one cruise maybe two, 3rd quarter 1-2 cruises, and 4 quarter one cruise. Summer, multi cruises.

Ok this is brilliant and I’m totally trying this on vision!  Didn’t even occur to me! Jane.

You are totally right...teens do totally differ!  We didn’t start cruising until my kids were  18, 16 and 13.  I wish I had cruised earlier...my oldest was totally pack mentality and would have done well on any cruise.  Middle one not so much.  The 3rd (15) will have to travel with us no matter what and it truly didn’t dawn on me to simply ask her opinion.  When we go on vision this summer  (med/Greek) she is expecting not many teens and is ok.  I totally didn’t make the leap to present the same as a done for celebrity!   Thanks for helping me clarify!  Jane

I have to call as my last cruise showed up the first couple days of the new website and then disappeared.  Jane
