Sweating the Small Stuff

Reading lots of threads about things that seem too trivial to ruin a vacation. After all, we're on a cruise ship right? What silly thing can ruin your vacation. I'm going to miss baseball but I watch tons at home. Small thing but I will miss my Mets

Nothing will ruin my vacation. I just won't let it. :cool:

For you it's not really small stuff if you are sweating it. It might not be your Mets, but there should be a game on in a bar somewhere. If not, well you would be in a bar. Does that help?

No I really don't care. I just read some silly stuff. What I thought was silly. Was just wondering

Yes. I noticed that reading some of this stuff makes me stressed over things that probably won't even come up.

Still if you go armed with knowledge of how to handle various problems, then if they do come up, they impact your vacation much less.

You made me laugh. I am as addicted to the Mets as apparently you are...

But I know what you mean. Some stuff is minor in the scheme of things.

Enjoy!

Some folks are just too anal....if that's not you, then no worries at all!

I'm thinking I could use a break from them. And everyone else!

Soda? People are upset about soda. There I said it!

We've found, once on a cruise, it sort of makes the rest of the world go away! :)

Especially the moment when there is no land in sight

I leave the world behind when I step foot on a ship.

Usually that's a good thing.

And then there was coming off a wonderful Med/Venice cruise and discovering that Pokemon Go had dropped...and I wanted to go back into my ship bubble!! :D

Yeah, I've noticed this as well. A lot of people saying their vacations were "ruined" by what clothes other people wore in the MDR, or because they saw somebody using a fork to stir their coffee.

The closest we ever got to having our vacation "ruined" was when we got a call from my mother-in-law as we were getting on the ship letting us know that she was flying down and would be at our house while we were on the cruise and for a week after. No notice, we were both angry, and it caused a fight when my husband refused to say anything to her about not just inviting herself to our house when we gone.

Even with all that, by the time the ship sailed away we managed to get into full vacation mode and still enjoyed the cruise.

when people come here and post about how their vacations were ruined because someone wore shorts or jeans in the MDR, I just...words can't explain how I am just like :eek:

In all of my cruises, I couldn't tell you what ANYONE wore in the MDR, whether fancy dress or a swimsuit. I guess i just worry about myself and having a good time

That being said, I feel like cruise critic is an outlet for people to voice "the small stuff" and discuss it.

Agreed, posts like "If I don't MY diet coke I cannot function".

A good recent one: someone said they would be eligible for Medicaid in TEN YEARS and wondered how it would work on their cruises.......

Why is that weird?

Because you can't even book a cruise 10 years from now and the person asking about medicare isn't eligible until 10 years from now. (And that's not even going into if medicare will even exist in 10 years!)

Wondering what your retirement years will look like isn't "the small stuff".

In dealing with things like retirement and living day to day, correct.

Worrying about a luxury like a cruise ten years in the future is "small stuff" IMHO.

The OP was wondering about Medicaid, not Medicare. Not sure if they know the difference between the two...

Every person should read the best seller "Don't sweat the small stuff" (And its all small stuff

except for HEALTH.)

While on vacation I want a really, really good Bloody Mary and heavy sigh, Royal uses some over the top horrible mix.

I love her optimism that she is going to be alive, well enough, and have the resources to cruise in 10 years!!!! Only 2 guarantees in life.....
