TriciaEMTB Posted January 27, 2012 Author #251 Share Posted January 27, 2012 She hit us with bracelets and necklaces. I gave her some, but not all she asked for and she took the bracelets back. Great review by the way. Thanks :eek: did you get your money back? Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliawinston Posted January 29, 2012 #254 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Tricia, thanks for taking the time to write this review. I am sailing on my first cruise in December (not even on Carnival,) but I love to read reviews, especially ones that have pictures (: Your commentary was really informative and entertaining, and I am glad that you enjoyed yourself. I hope your next cruise is even more fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Patty Posted January 29, 2012 #255 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Tricia, This was so delightful. I'm glad you enjoyed your cruise. And, I bet I know which photographer you were talking about. Was his name Hrvoje from Croatia? He IS easy to look at ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know how to begin to pronounce that but nice on the eyes with an accent to die for! Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Patty Posted January 29, 2012 #257 Share Posted January 29, 2012 LOL, we took a girls' cruise last summer and "enjoyed" him, too ;) Another photographer told me he called Hrvoje "Harvey", because he couldn't pronounce Hrvoje either. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweetylori Posted January 29, 2012 #258 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Stayed up way too late last night reading your review, but once I started, I couldn't stop! What a wonderful wonderful review! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeafl Posted January 29, 2012 #259 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Tricia, I loved your review, and your pictures were great! My husband and I are going on the Freedom in a couple of months, and it will be our first cruise without family in many years. I am really looking forward to meeting lots of people at dinner, and will keep my eyes open for any solo cruisers. Did you keep in touch with the woman and daughter you met? They seemed really nice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were incredibly nice and I'm really thankful they took the time to be nice to me! Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMSACE6 Posted January 29, 2012 #262 Share Posted January 29, 2012 How did I ever miss this great review????. I just noted the shy girl in the thread title and said, well that sounds like me ( used to be ). And yes you remind me of myself on my first solo cruise, which was on the Sensation in 2000 ( also finding myself newly single)!. Well I am about to go on my 4th solo cruise in October! Tricia, you are off to a great start as a fantastic CC reviewer! Love the review and the photos too.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't possibly be shy anymore with all of the friends you've made on this board. :) I can't wait to read your next review - - - and I ESPECIALLY can't wait to see the accompanying picture of your cousin at the top of the tallest zipline in Roatan. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMacy Posted February 19, 2012 #269 Share Posted February 19, 2012 SNIP! Let me start off by saying, I know the Ecstasy is a "small" ship, but to me it felt huge... I'm still on page one, but wanted to say thank you for posting your review. I'm glad you went and hope you had a great time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia21 Posted February 24, 2012 #273 Share Posted February 24, 2012 thats probably one of the best reviews ive ever read, i felt like i was there with you. i read it last night after having a crappy day and you honestly made me smile and laugh so hard, so thank you! i really admire your courage for going on a cruise alone, its something i always wanted to do when i was single but i was too chicken. i did do some day trips on my won though to the beach and i remember being so proud of myself for doing it, and i enjoyed my alone time for the day. trish p.s. you have a gift for writing and holding your readers' interest. ever though about writing/blogging?

TriciaEMTB Posted February 24, 2012 Author #274 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thank you!

Super_Cruiser Posted February 25, 2012 #275 Share Posted February 25, 2012 This is my first post on Cruise Critic and I wanted it to be on your thread. :) I so enjoyed reading about your adventure.. It was like reading a book! I couldn't stop once I started. So honest, & funny. Great pics, too. You are so brave to cruise alone, especially for your first time cruising. It's awesome that you did exactly what you wanted, when you wanted and really made the most of your time cruising. I will definitely have to check out the Queen's Staircase if I ever make it to the Bahamas. Your dolphin experience sounds magical. Also... I'm so glad you didn't end up having to pay for the missed excursion. Can't wait to read your next review. You've inspired me to write my own review after my upcoming cruise in April.:) Bon Voyage!!
