penguinscott Posted April 10, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I leave for my transAtlantic from New Orleans on Friday and just found out that once I arrive in Barcelona, the crew on the Spirit are going to make me leave the ship! :eek: How terrible! :confused: No lines to wait in for dining. No shows after dinner each night. Who will turn my beding down each evening? Finally, my cruise is so close I can smell it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also anyone here could been able to tell you that the evil crew is like that - always friendly at first and when you've become accustomed to the warm and fuzzy feeling, they start talking about how they need the cabin for someone else. :p :D Finally, my cruise is so close I can smell it! :D I know, me too! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted April 10, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I suppose you could always sign on as a member of the crew;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAFL Posted April 10, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Marshabear...do not recall seeing your name on the epic meet and mingle list. If not already on it, check out our rollcall. We are 100 cruise critic members strong and are all anxious for Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winters in NZ Posted April 10, 2012 #12 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Pilfer a crew uniform, and assume an identity similar to that undertaken by Leonardo Dicaprio in the movie, Catch Me If you Can. Hopefully you don't get that role confused with his 1997 appearance in The Titanic...as you sail across the Atlantic.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camz Posted April 10, 2012 #13 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I usually spend the last day on the ship moping around getting gloomier as the day ends. Then it happens that last morning where you have to get up early and out the door you go. YUCK, I hate that! Wish there was a better way to do it. However, I think there is no good way to get thrown off the ship. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger001 Posted April 10, 2012 #15 Share Posted April 10, 2012 And as a shuttle bus driver reminded us as we drove away, if you eat in a restaurant, don't forget...you have to pay before leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crew mom Posted April 10, 2012 #18 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I suppose you could always sign on as a member of the crew;). That won't work either. DS is getting kicked off in Barcelona also. All that way and he only gets to spend a couple of hours in Europe. Of course his cruise was a lot longer - 7 months. Go look for him in the Stardust! Enjoy your cruise!

Seems like years ago we first discussed it. I get off in Barcelona as well but have the GREAT JOY of joining Scott (who started this thread....yet again....SMALL WORLD!!!!!) as we stay 4 days in an apartment in Las Ramblas!

penguinscott Posted April 11, 2012 Author #22 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Marshabear, I was on Liberty a few years ago. Nice ship, but I didn't like Carnival. I'll have to try them again now that they've enhanced their non-smoking policies. Crew mom, are you saying your son works on the Spirit? You'll have to let me know more and I'll certainly seek him out for a hello! I could never work on a ship. I'm too lazy to work all those days with no time off; esp in a setting like a cruise ship! :cool: AJ, of all the people I hoped wouldn't find my post! You can't get rid of me that easily. I'll see you New Orleans in a few days, or for lunch on Sunday! Nathan, I thought we had 6 days in BCN. Like I said, it's going to be epic! No, wait. That's a different ship. It's going to be Spirited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinscott Posted April 12, 2012 Author #23 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Packing day is finally here!!! I'll deal with them kicking me off in Barcelona in 2 weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crew mom Posted April 12, 2012 #24 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Is he going back to work after his hiatus? Or has he found something more land based. Of course he's going back! I think he has more salt water in his veins than blood after all these years! He started on NCL 12 yrs ago. Can you believe after all this time I am actually working with Shawn on the crossing???? Seems like years ago we first discussed it. I get off in Barcelona as well but have the GREAT JOY of joining Scott (who started this thread....yet again....SMALL WORLD!!!!!) as we stay 4 days in an apartment in Las Ramblas! WOW!:D Hate to say it Nathan but it was years ago that you two talked about it! He's looking forward to a new cast :rolleyes: He doing 3 handovers right now so he's B.U.S.Y. He is very happy that you're bringing them out and getting them settled! Give him a big hug from me (Just 'cause it will embarrass him!) Have a great time in Las Ramblas. How cool! Crew mom, are you saying your son works on the Spirit? You'll have to let me know more and I'll certainly seek him out for a hello! Since you know Nathan I know you'll meet my son on board. He's the Entertainment Production Manager. I could never work on a ship. I'm too lazy to work all those days with no time off; esp in a setting like a cruise ship! :cool: He's been so busy that he hasn't been off the ship very much the past few weeks. He's ready for a vacation! Nathan, I thought we had 6 days in BCN. Like I said, it's going to be epic! No, wait. That's a different ship. It's going to be Spirited! Maybe the Epic is the next cruise!

penguinscott Posted April 13, 2012 Author #25 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Crew Mom, I did talk to Nathan about this. I look forward to meeting him and letting him know we've written on here. And if I end up liking freestyle cruising, I wouldn't mind some time on Epic! Be well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
