Please don't stop writing your review. I have been on the Divina many times and can relate to many of the things you are saying. I have never laughed this hard with a review! Such a great review and such a fabulous way to let everyone know about this fabulous cruise line and this gorgeous ship.

 

Thank you and please don't stop writing,

Gerry

How likely is that, Mike??

 

If it was the post Crzyfrk62 is referring to, I certainly didn't see anything offensive in it :confused:

 

Yes...that was my last post of the review.....so I'm glad others agree......tongue and cheek sure. But offensive to the point of deletion, I personally don't think so.

 

But I've been wrong a lot.....just ask my wife.

I did a two hour presentation for 70 college students yesterday on cultural competency. The debate shifted to, "as much as/because of how much" we love the US, we can be critical of where we err as a people.

 

And, our ultra conservative, puritanical foundation coupled with the current overly sensitive, ridiculously politically correct trend has effectively castrated our ability as a people to utilize our full senses of humor...stand up comics won't play college campuses anymore because of how fragile the special snowflake students are...

 

And, it hurts my heart, that the same disease has infected this wonderful community! This thread was one of the brightest lights on this page...to see it dimmed in anyway is a travesty.

I caught a quick glimpse of the post saw angry balls ( it's a REAL drink) and got excited and said oh I'll come back and read the whole post, not skim in between patients, I was really excited to see the next installment. How do we get it back??? If admin deleted it they can't just put it back Clarksfan1 would have to rework that masterpiece, call it his rough and tumble draft and then hit us with something even more pleasurable. COME ON FAN DO US RIGHT! even though you were completely wronged.

The wine bar was the only place I was able to find this drink....And I disagree with the way they make it....they poured all the Fireball in first then Angry Orchard on top....which really caused the cinnamon to settle in the bottom of the glass....So I asked politely if they could go.....fireball....bit of AO.....fireball.....rest of AO. And it was freaking awesome. Not to mention the fact I think this caused me to get a little extra spiced rum. And who doesn't love a little something extra? You know people who get upset because there's a hair in their food? Not me....just a little something extra (in all honesty that's gross).

OH I'M LMAO!!! so I must go to the wine bar OR I'm in the YC hopefully they can bring some Angry Orchard to the pool bar and Top Sail!! They must have just started to carry Angry Orchard on the ship. I do the shot of fireball first then pour the AO on top.

And yes .... who doesn't like extra!!!

I have to say MSC does have the best selection of alcohol and mixers of any other ship I've been on.

I just wish they used a better Bloody Mary mix. Thinking of bringing my own in November... Zing Zang!!

Unfortunately I think the fan is quite upset about his efforts being deleted - for what none of us are sure and rightfully so I would be super pissed to!

Obviously someone got their panties in a twist and decided to delete an informative and thoroughly entertaining review. I keep checking back to see if there is a possibility of a new installment but to no avail. I'm sad...... :(

Sooooo where were we…….OH yes tying up some loose ends…..there will be more loose ends I’m sure.

 

Best drink I found on the ship…..some of you little devils sneaked a peek (before the fun killer came into the party…..BTW….YOUR NOT INVITED FUN KILLER…..LEAVE).....Angry Balls. How appropriate is it, given the last week, that this drink was my favorite. I said it before and I will say it again….the opportunity for a grown man, such as myself, to use the SECOND WORD of this drink (gotta be careful now with my language) doesn’t come around nearly enough. Most of my use of this word surrounds telling my son to get his hands off of his. Anyhoo my favorite thing to do was sit there with my wife in the Wine Bar (it has a name….but I’m lucky I call my kids the correct name most of the time) and when I would need a new Angry Balls, and would see the bartender coming over, I would have to then go to the bathroom and would ask my wife to order me a new Angry Balls. And after the first 3 times she figured out what was up. I find if you annoy or anger your wife for the sake of obtaining a funny story, they tend not to get as angry.

 

Coupons…..Get YOUR COUPONS…...No I’m not talking about the coupons your Grandma use to leave as a tip at Denny’s (she use to say they’re as good as cash). No I’m talking about drink coupons. I have no idea if MSC will continue to offer these bad boys, but man these were a better deal then the two for one special on fish tacos from the street vendors (BTW not a good choice). For those who don’t know….well MSC offers an opportunity to prebuy drinks in advance in the form of coupons. The first day you arrive you go to the casino and tell them your name and they give you your coupons. And I know what you're thinking…..Doesn’t MSC have the ability to just have these on your card and give you updated numbers with your receipt. WELL that would be too easy now wouldn’t it? Nope….I was constantly on the lookout for these little buggers all over our room. Once I found my kid getting ready to use it for their used gum. Now I don’t advocate violence on your children, but if they ruin a drink coupon with a piece of gum….by all means consider whipping em (just kidding…..kinda). Now at the beginning of the cruise I was a little timid about whipping out my coupons to pay for my drinks….but by the end of the cruise I was whipping these bad boys out like the neighborhood flasher (could this get me deleted….Naaaa).

 

On the last night of the cruise you will see people tying their hardest to get rid of their drink coupons. Someone tried to tip the bartender in the cigar bar with one….and so he bought me a drink. And some guy came in and got 18 cans of Diet Coke and walked out with them in a trash bag….You stay Classy San Diego.

 

Now I know what you’re thinking….”Mr. Fan this doesn’t sound so bad….why did the Fun-Killer feel the need to have you post deleted?” And to that I say……..So getting to the paragraph that may have caused the deletion. Daiquiris…..Women love em….guys do to. We just don’t like ordering them. I feel the need every time I order a “Daiquiri” to try to speak in a deeper voice and show off as much chest hair as humanly possible…..It’s just not manly. And I am a MAN…...sure you may find me under a sheet in the corner crying on occasion, but that is A story for me and my therapist.

 

I had originally come up with 4 words that men hate saying more than the word daiquiri…..and I fear that may have caused the trouble with my post. And for those of you wondering….I don’t think they were all that bad….they were funny but true…….and those that seen them know I was so right. So I had to think real hard for a new set of word that men hate saying more than daiquiri. And I believe I have actually done what my wife does all the time….proved me wrong. There are actually 8 words men don’t like to say. In addition to the first four (that shall not be named) but also I will include the words…..Feelings…..Emotions…...Fun-killer..…..and Sorry. Now if you're a fan of daiquiris I will recommend that you DO NOT order them anywhere on the pool deck. Why is that that you ask? Will the Fun-Killer come along and smack them out of your hands as you get ready to hand them to the bartender? Nope…...but they tend to use too much ice because their glasses are a bit bigger than everywhere else and they don’t add extra alcohol or mix. And if you order an iced drink on the pool deck it will taste like watered down crap. And if you order a mudslide it will look like it as well.
