Nliedel Posted September 24, 2005 #27 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Oh thank you, thank you for posting this. I was wondering how it went. I am so happy for you! The best, that's just super! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheffie Posted September 24, 2005 #28 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Duct tape that mouth and let it be a surprise. She will fall over and be thrilled! Then do something romantic and amazing like hand her flowers (waiting in the cabin) or chocolate or a small piece of jewelry. You will be a king and she will cry the best kind of tears there are. ANOTHER use for Duct Tape!!!!! :eek: ;) Glad you had a wonderful vacation. I am smiling for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrovnan Posted September 24, 2005 #31 Share Posted September 24, 2005 one bit of information for you. Talk to the Concierge about arranging to sit at the captains table. He/She will get you in touch with the Matri'd of the dinning room. It was a wonderful experience and nice surprise for your wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobnu1 Posted October 4, 2005 Author #38 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Sorry for the delay but work piled up during the vacation. I’m not a very good writer but here’s how it went. Got to Port Liberty about 11:30 and told my wife I forgot to put the luggage tags on, so I grabbed a porter and had him put on tags for the RFS without her knowing. We then went to the suite check-in where she was so busy looking around she didn’t even notice we weren’t in the regular line. After a very short wait we boarded the ship. I told her the lady at check-in gave us keys to a different room and I did not know why. She started to complain and I said lets just go see where we are and if she doesn’t like it we can go down and complain. We started heading towards the very back of the ship when she started complaining that she thought we were near the middle of the ship and how far back are we going. She opened the room and stopped dead in her tracks. She started walking all around the suite and crying about how her mother (who recently passed away if your not following this thread) had something to do with this (she is a big believer in spirits, afterlife etc.) I then pulled out a bottle of wine I had slipped into my laptop bag without her knowledge and had a few glasses of wine on the huge deck. That night at dinner we’re walking up to the table and I see that we’re sitting with 3 old women and another older couple. Turns out that they are from a very small section of Brooklyn where her Mom grew up and the oldest woman (in her 90’s) owned the dance studio where her Mom took dance lessons as a child. Further cementing my wife’s belief that all that was happening was because of her Mom. Our tablemates were some of the nicest people we have ever met and dinner was a pleasure every night. My wife even invited them all back to our cabin for a cocktail (we had plenty of room). There was nothing on this cruise that was a negative. Perfect weather, perfect seas, perfect tablemates, FANTASTIC suite, no crowds and even won a few bucks in the casino. It was truly the vacation of a lifetime. Dreams can come true. Some pictures can be found here after about 9:00pm EST 10/03 http://public.fotki.com/gobnu1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holomuku Posted October 4, 2005 #39 Share Posted October 4, 2005 wonderful to hear of such a happy experience. You both took care of her Mom-- and now she's taking care of you. That's my belief and I'm stickin' to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKeeganS Posted October 4, 2005 #40 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I am sobbing at my computer. I'm sorry for the loss of your mother-in-law, but, being a believer like your wife, I can't help but think she's at peace and wanting to pass some of that tranquility on to her daughter. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbyma Posted October 4, 2005 #41 Share Posted October 4, 2005 That's quite possibly one of the sweetest stories I have ever heard. So happy for you that you will always have those memories! Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamloopsCruisers Posted October 4, 2005 #43 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I've been watching this board, hoping that you'd let us know how your cruise was. I'm so glad to read that you were able to keep it a surprise, and how much you both enjoyed, not only your fabulous suite, but the company of your new friends. I too am a believer that those on the other side have a lot of influence on what happens in our day-to-day lives. I think this new angel had a strong hand in ensuring you two had the trip of a lifetime. Thanks for sharing your story and pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubrrick Posted October 4, 2005 #44 Share Posted October 4, 2005 In a nutshell, if RCCL has assigned you a cabin number, that is the cabin that you will occupy. They can guarantee you a category, without a cabin number, and they can upgrade you or downgrade you, but once you have the cabin number, I have NEVER heard of RCCL changing. Anyone else out there that has any other opinion???? With that said, my bet would be to surprise her. With flowers, champagne, and anything else that makes your relationship special!
