What a bunch of thalassophiles

[Vincent]

So my wife was talking with our neighbor yesterday, catching up on local gossip and letting her know that we would be heading out of town in January for another RC cruise (she is our unofficial neighborhood Mrs. Kravitz). My wife thought it best to give "Gladys" a heads up so that she didn't lose any sleep worrying or wondering if something terrible had happened to us, noticing the loss of daily routines that myself and family normally endure and display each day.

Knowing in advance the quick witted and somber responses that our neighborhood Karen is accustom to, her response really should not have surprised my wife. But she called us out like a closet Swiftie, stating "Well, aren't you a bunch of thalassophiles".

It's true, I am one.

It's been over 3 months since my last cruise and ocean sighting. But I have a wonderful support group and attend meetings via forums and discussions as often as I can. So thank you fellow board members. It's one cruise at a time .

Now we know what the name of the new tier of the C&A ladder is going to be.

Had to open the dictionary for that one.  Lo and behold,  my photo was next to the definition

That’s the one I used to get the proper pronunciation!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet that the code for Icon Class #3 starts with a T. Thalassophile of the Seas?

No doubt.  It trips right off the tongue !

I never knew there were so many sesquipedalian types on here.............

[PPPJJ-GCVAB]

Ok @Bazza I totally had to look up that word!  And once I did it occurred to me that I actually know a few people who fit perfectly into that category!  Unfortunately, I’m not one of them…lol

[Bazza]

@PPPJJ-GCVAB I forgot it minutes after I posted it!! Apart from place names in Wales, I tend to avoid long words!

Perhaps I am showing my age here, but for those of you that are familiar with the show, who preferred Gladys # 1 or #2 ? 

I'm a Alice Pearce fan.

Bonus question... What was Mrs. Kravitz husbands name?

[WAAAYTOOO]

Abner Kravitz.  I guess I didn’t remember that there were 2 Gladys’s.

Celebrity ships used to have a thalassotherapy pool in the spa which was basically a large hot tub with reclined seating in them.
