chelseababy Posted June 3, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 3, 2011 My sister-in-law wrote this poem on her last cruise - oh so true! The Curse of Cruising I wake up in the morning to a lovely cup of tea With my hubby standing next to me smiling down on me “Have a biscuit with it. Put shoes upon your feet. Let’s hurry down to breakfast, It must be time to eat” There’s shuffleboard and other games and sitting in the sun Talks and quizzes, singing too and other lots of fun. I chat to people I don’t know – so many still to meet But gosh! Where has the morning gone? It must be time to eat. After lunch we sit around doing not a lot Then hubby says “A cup of tea? Let’s look at what they’ve got. Those sandwiches and cakes look nice. Just give yourself a treat. It’s two whole hours since we had lunch. It must be time to eat.” Then I feel all guilty so I rush off to the gym and leap and prance and jump and dance and stretch out every limb. Then shower and change and preen and pat and check that all is neat A quick drink in the bar and then It must be time to eat. Later there are shows and jokes and songs for her and him Then I stagger to my cabin ‘cos I’m full up to the brim. But what’s that on my pillow so tempting and so sweet? Ooooh! A little square of chocolate! It must be time to eat. I know what’s going to happen when I’m home and on the scales And the arrow whizzes upwards and I’m thinking of beached whales And my clothes no longer fit me and the edges will not meet It;s just the curse of cruising It must be time to eat.

I'm sure she'll laugh out loud and say it doesn't apply to her but just to me. :D This poem is the exact description of our last cruise. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovevacadays Posted July 28, 2011 #9 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Oh so true! I really can't believe the food I can eat on a cruise. I could never eat in my real life (or want to) what I seem to consume while cruising. I'm not sure why that is. Not only that, I seem to drink so much more while cruising than I could ever imagine in my every day life. I'm not a "foo-foo" drink drinker but do manage to have a few of those sweet, full of calorie drinks while cruising as well. I guess that is part of the fun in cruising - eat, drink, and be merry:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
