Farts Posted June 26, 2017 #27 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I really love how diverse your group of friends are. It's like watching an episode of modern family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back2reality Posted June 27, 2017 Author #28 Share Posted June 27, 2017 20 yrs later I still keep in very close contact with my table mate I met the very 1st nt at dinner of my very 1st cruise. We text, email and talk every day now for 20 yrs. In fact, I married him 6 months after meeting him on that cruise! [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Nice!

Cauzneffct Posted June 27, 2017 #29 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I think its great that so many people have made friends on the ships. Its not our bag, but good for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicKenK Posted June 27, 2017 #30 Share Posted June 27, 2017 All this talk about friends and keeping in touch reminds me to wish TC "The Stacker" a Happy Birthday ! ! I realize this has an inside joke connotation but it's just another example of making cruise friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdylady Posted June 27, 2017 #31 Share Posted June 27, 2017 We've made friends over the years from a number of cruises. 2 folks from the UK come to the US every Spring and we make a point of getting together each year. Some years we can schedule a cruise, others we meet somewhere for a weekend. We made friends on another cruise a few years back and we're scheduled for a weekend cruise together in November. All 4 folks above we initially met through the CC M&M thread and then of course in person at the RCI M&M party. And of course there are other folks we stay in touch with in hopes of finding out we are going to cruise together again. And speaking for my parents, we all met a family from Ireland (on our 2nd cruise). The parents of that family come to the US every year and see my parents every time they are here. Cruising has become not only our vacation addiction, but has expanded our circle of friends. It's amazing how much our lives have benefited from cruising over the years.

gaylemh Posted July 9, 2017 #35 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I have been cruising solo since 2010, and have met many cruise buddies, that have become very good friends. We actually group message when the cruises are released to decide which ones we will book, and phone or message each other all the time. I have also gotten together with some that live close by. I even have an "adopted cruise daughter" that I have cruise with twice and we will be cruising together again in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodenboy Posted July 9, 2017 #36 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I've met some amazing families at sea, and I'm hoping to cruise with one particular family, in the future if all our diaries match!! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalteseMama2 Posted July 9, 2017 #37 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Over our many year of cruising I have always made friends on board but not managed to stay in touch. I joined CC right before our last cruise and now I am excited to be able to stay connected. One couple became especially dear to my husband and I. And another couple is already, coincidentally, booked on Oasis the same week as us. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyK0904 Posted July 16, 2017 #40 Share Posted July 16, 2017 we met several people here on CC then met on the ship, maybe back in 2006--we are a group of 10-20 depending on the cruise and probably together at least thirty days a year and sometimes more, just enjoy meeting up with friends from all over the Country at sea-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
