Cruise Babies

[EmilyM]

I posted under my Maasdam review that my husband and I are hoping that we have a souvenir baby from the cruise. Has anybody here ever conceived a child on a ship? Did you name the baby Holland? This is all in fun, so if this topic is offensive, please ignore it!

[Classynfun1]

LOL!!! I'm not married (don't feel too sorry for me!) but if I was, I'd think that that may make for a more than memorable vacation! I wish you the best of luck in, um, that endeavor! :eek: ;)

[michmike]

emily - allow me to introduce my brood.. Ford, Pontiac and Hayloft

 

Enjoy the cruise and all that it en"tail"s. *S* And keep in mind that there are any number of other names to consider in addition to Holland.. some that come to mind are balcony, shower, lifeboat, elevator.... I'd imagine with the proper sense of adventure that the possibilities are endless..

 

And it IS so important to have a plan to offset the possible boredom of sea days..

Considering the typical HAL demographic I doubt there will be too many "yes" answers to this poll! At least from their HAL cruises. :rolleyes:

Actually our only son was "with us" during our river cruise in 1991... but he wasn't concieved there.

I used to know a couple of car fanatics who named their child Shelby.

 

I once went to a 10-year reunion for Jordan High School in Long Beach, CA (not my school). The prize for the alumna with the most children went to a woman who named her oldest child Jordan.

 

Have fun working on your project. Then have fun putting little Oosterdam into the booster seat. ;)

Cactuslady...a "dam" baby! Brilliant! :p

Hmmm How to post on this one? How about tried but at our age it was all but impossible.

 

If your lucky you could use the name Oyesonthedam or Mamaendam!

[stormyc]

LOL! :D

 

How about Erasmus?

[EmilyM]

We were on our cruise on the Maasdam last week, so I figure if we were lucky and conceived we could name a girl Mazy and a boy Sam (how about a nickname of Samdam?). That way, it wouldn't be obvious, but we would know! :rolleyes:

 

And to those that were on the ship with us or after us, don't worry, we never "attempted" anything outside of our own room. Mitchmike, the elevators?!? Those things move so fast and are always in such high demand. Although, I did notice one night that one had an "out of order" sign. Was that you?

[ImpulsivePuppy]

not quite, but we did take our 'babymoon' on the zuiderdam last year.

Not on HAL, but our daughter was conceived on NCL on our Honeymoon. You should have seen people count backwards when we started telling them I was pg and when my due date was :eek: My Dad especially. At first, he was puzzled, then semi angry and when he got to the 9th month in his head-count, he was very happy!!!

 

 

Good luck and "HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY" Sailing :cool:

[ekerr19]

We never TRIED to have kids period. We were just "accidentally" blessed -

 

If it happened to me on a cruise now, it would be a miracle, lol!! Not one I'd be too thrilled about either!

[2rg]

Not to sure about Samdam. Now there's always Howard or Howendam aka Hotdam! (Am I dating myself with that one?)

[General Max]

My oldest son who is currently age 36 is named New York Central Park.

 

Cheers for the internet travel agents

Too bad the voting is private. I'd love to see who the wusses are.

[jhannah]

I'd love to see a kid named Wajang Erasmus (insert last name here.)

[sail7seas]

The age and stage we are at, I'd 'dam' kill myself........or him!!!! :D

[imsulin]

Well, you could name the baby "Hooverdam"...if the steward just happened to be vacuuming your cabin at the "time"..................

[Vic The Parrot]

OH!

 

 

The title sez 'BABIES'!!

 

The font makes it look like 'RABIES'

 

 

Was gonna say, who let the squirrel on board??

 

 

;)

[Hollyhawk]

If It's a girl Miss Pris Dam; a boy (sorry can't say it)

[michmike]

Emily - Busted!! the other side of the sign said "Sorry, the Crow's Nest is closed for cleaning".. *S* That sea air can certainly rekindle romance..

[Jeyfer]

Good luck, Emily! DH and I are hoping to find out if we have a stowaway with us on the cruise. We leave on Sunday and should know mid-way through the cruise if there is a baby on board!

first cruise, Ryndam 5/8 (Alaska)

[EmilyM]

Thank you for all the well wishes!

 

Jeyfer -- Good luck! That is really exciting. Do you stick out your stomach and pretend you are pregnant? I was just doing that earlier today -- much to my husband's dismay!

 

Mitchmike --- Hmmm . . . your ideas are too creative to be made up! Are they from experience? Good thing there are industrial cleaners!
