LHC Posted December 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Ok do my boat sails on Sunday. Yes, I still have to work the next two and a half days but since last weekend this smile rarely leaves my face. When people ask why are you smiling in the freezing rain. I say I am so happy that next week it will be different . If I tell them I am going on a two week cruise to sun and surf some smile back others grumble and just walk away. I maybe at work but my heart and ins have left for island time. Now this is what makes me smile. Anticipation of wonders to come for 2 whole weeks🎄🎉!

mamaofami Posted December 18, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I can feel how happy you are and am starting to feel that joy too, even though I don't sail till the end of January. Keep on smiling and have a wonderful cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northshorecruisers Posted December 18, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Keep on smiling and have a wonderful cruise!! I'm in MN and we might hit a high of 0 degrees today :( So your post did give me something to smile about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHC Posted December 19, 2013 Author #11 Share Posted December 19, 2013 My first cruise had no idea what to expect but now the anticipation just makes me smile. The Eurodam is a new ship for me to explore. I love the thermal suite and have already booked it for 14 days. I am excited to hear the BB King group and meet a couple who I meet 5 years ago on a cruise! One and a half days more of work. Christmas arrives early for me when I fly out to FLL on Sat am🎄.

Grimsby Posted December 19, 2013 #13 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Ok do my boat sails on Sunday. O.K, not trying to be picky, but try to remember this. You can put a boat on a ship, but you can't put a ship on a boat. I'm sure I'm not the only one who cringes when some of the good folks on these boards, who don't think there's a difference, call a "ship" a "boat". Anyway, whatever you're sailing on have a great time. Edited December 19, 2013 by Grimsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arzz Posted December 19, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I hate to burst anyone's precruise euphoria but I was under the impression that Dec 8 was the last day for the BB King group until next spring. For your sake if hope that I am wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fm6175 Posted December 19, 2013 #18 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Yes Grimsby my mother ( the cruise expert ) is always reminding me . " it's not a boat a ship . You sleep in a cabin not a room , you hang out on your veranda not a balcony it's located on a deck not a floor , it's either forward , mid ship or aft , not front , middle or back of the boat .

Rare puppycanducruise Posted December 19, 2013 #20 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Ship or boat? DH says if it doesn't have a buffet and a casino, it's not seaworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimsby Posted December 19, 2013 #22 Share Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Ship or boat? DH says if it doesn't have a buffet and a casino, it's not seaworthy. And don't forget "a bar". I don't care if it's a ship, a boat, or a raft, we need at least one bar!!!!! My apologies to LHC if I took your post off topic, but I hope you appreciate a little humor. And again, whether it's a ship, a boat, or a raft, have a wonderful holiday. Edited December 19, 2013 by Grimsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhoon1 Posted December 20, 2013 #23 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Be sure to wave goodbye to us as you sail away. We'll all be wishing we could be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHC Posted December 20, 2013 Author #24 Share Posted December 20, 2013 As long as I am on the SHIP! All will be great. I will wave and think of all my CC friends who know the joys of cruising.🎄🎆🎉! lHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
