maureencruiser Posted February 20, 2016 Author #151 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Thanks for the wonderful review Maureen. I had a deadline to finish some work but thanks to your review I could'nt stop reading and could not finish my work :eek:I guess we are going to be sailing on same dates as you on Divina (7th May). Yay, maybe I can finish my review! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted February 22, 2016 #152 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yay, maybe I can finish my review! :p Yes please. I have been waiting on you to complete this review. I started waiting with baited breath, and now I look more like Rip Van Winkle.:) I have started 2 reviews in "word" and have still yet to post them and one is almost 8 months old. Real life gets in the way but in all honesty Maureen I love your reviews and if this finished you would complete me.:p I hope you are well and all is good. I posted on another thread on the RC boards that Yorkvillian is doing a live review on NCL. It is a classic like yours are. It won't help you in finishing this one, but it will give you some laughs. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2317327 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B'Elanna Posted February 23, 2016 #153 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hi Maureen, I loved reading your review. And Sorry to hear about your mum. I'm from Australia and want to do a solo cruise to the Caribbean in August as I will be in the US that month. So far the Divina is the cheapest I've come across. I can't believe the prices of some of the others! And then to to top it of, the exchange rate with the Aussie dollar is not good and it's more expensive. Have you got a review of your December cruise? Heidi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted February 23, 2016 #154 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Maureen, I just went back this morning and read the review from Christmas 2014 to now and my stomach sunk. I'm sorry I hadn't read it before I posted yesterday as I would have posted this first. I am sorry for the passing of your mom. As you eluded she had not been good for a while, but knowing she is no longer suffering will have eased her pain. As time passes the good memories rise to the top, and I honestly hope those are the memories that you have of your mom. I remember reading in one of your first reviews that you and your mom cruised together. I could only imagine the antics the two of you got up to. Please except my apologies as I am sorry that I didn't read the entire thread first before posting yesterday. Safe travels on Thursday to your literal sailing. If you happen to read this before you go, which ship and itinerary are you on? I can think of you sipping on a frosty drink watching the sunset, while I sit in my office looking outside at the snow. I am sending you a virtual hug for today and as many as you need for when your mom passed. Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maureencruiser Posted February 24, 2016 Author #155 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Have you got a review of your December cruise? No' date=' I haven't attempted another one since this one petered out. Safe travels on Thursday to your literal sailing. If you happen to read this before you go, which ship and itinerary are you on? I can think of you sipping on a frosty drink watching the sunset, while I sit in my office looking outside at the snow. I am sending you a virtual hug for today and as many as you need for when your mom passed. Andrew. Thanks, Andrew. My Mom is where she wanted to be, reunited with her husband. She used to ask me, Why won't God take me? I've booked the Seaside on her birthday in 2018, I think she would like that. I leave Thursday for 2 nights in St Maarten then I'm doing the Yachtsman's Caribbean on Windstar's Wind Surf, that should be an adventure. It was a chance to do something completely different with no solo supplement, free drinks, free shore excursions, free internet.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you parents are together, I try to take comfort that our daughter is with my dad and multiple grandparents. It doesn't make it better, but it helps. As for your cruise enjoy it. All I can think of was that Christopher Cross song about sailing from the 80s. Now it will be in my head all day. As for one day, hopefully we will be on the same cruise, Lisa and I would love to have a drink in person and you can tell about the voyage. You never know with cruising, that day could actually happen. :) No single supplement and all those other freebies. That is WOW. I will have to check the out your ports of call and dream a little from behind the desk. OK, now I have Dream Weaver in my head. Enjoy and hope to see you on the CC boards again soon.

We may try and sail Divina some time later this year. We moved up to Rhode Island to help my girlfriend take care of her mom so it's not as easy as driving to the POM any longer to catch the ship. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
