There’s nothing uglier than tan lines. (Unwanted hair can be efficiently dealt with. Overweight can be efficiently dealt with. Manners a for free.) Why would you ruin your looks? Why not look your best – your very best?!

I really enjoyed the cruise conference, was my first time, you really got the crowd going! You made it for me.. just got into the cruise business 1 weeks ago as a online agent with socruise.com Your right the bird from yahoo who was meant to be a online expert would have been out of touch if she had presented 5yrs ago, and we wonder why they have 0.002% market share… Did not really learn much from the event, but had a really good time (enjoyed the free food and drink…, just highlighted my views that the cruise market needs to change, you have 5 star cruise brands will +£500m ships, trusting there brilliant brands with micky mouse travel agents, ran by 18yr teenagers on £4 per hr, doesn’t work, they just discount, and no body wins, not even the customer as there’s no follow up service. Travel agents need to start adding some value.

Looking forward to next year.

I have uploaded loads of pictures from the event on the photo section on socruise.

We have traveled numerous times with you on various ships, most recently the Freedom and Splendor. My brother will be cruising on the Freedom next week (6/27) with five of his teenaged grandchildren (Patty & I skipped this trip for obvious reasons) and we told him what a great CD you were. Hopefully he will track you down, especially to get your advise where to hide on the ship!

Safe travels. Hopefully Patty & I will see you on the Dream. We are set to sail on December 3rd! Can’t wait.

Linda, I’ve been meaning to say this for some time – you are one special lady. You and your whole family for raising such a special person.

I probably could fill up a whole page, but can’t right now, so take care of yourself and all your loved ones,

Carol

Who are you kidding? Of course you’re going to mention that you miss Heidi and Kye, again, and again, and again….. But of course you will miss them and you should not hide that fact. We all love you and whatever you write. There is no other blog thingy out there but yours.

Almost time to leave here. Have a safe trip, enjoy the weekend, and welcome back to the Freedom.

Hugs,
Carol

Just read a review on Cruisemates about a Freedom cruise last month.

A couple showed up on the second Elegant night in their cabin bathrobes.

Yes, they were seated and did dine in this attire.

Again…it is not about clothing…. it is about respect (or the obvious lack there of that some people have). Nothing like a bathrobe to shout to the world…. “I don’t know any better.”

But they pulled this stunt (and you can’t call it anything else) simply because they knew they could get away with it.

Again, some people want to make Carnival cheap.
And others are perfectly willing to allow it to happen. Perhaps they are more comfortable in a “cheap” situation….while others of us prefer an inexpensive one. If someone wants cheap…let them go sleep in a 100 sq ft box.

Perhaps they are secret agents for pleasechargemeformysteakofthe seas, so that the Royal Pains can flaunt the “lack of class” these kinds of stunts shout. Shame on the Maitre D that allowed it.
