Thank you for your interest in us. Someone posted about people posting when they don't know what they are talking about. I will respect and take on board comments made by experienced cruisers who do know what they are talking about just like me. Some people on here are very helpful and i will give advice readily if asked too which surely is the predominant reason for posting or reading CC.

There are people who post on these boards everyday who are constantly posting inaccurate information. I am not going to take their word because they also post that they have taken 70+ cruises, just like I am not going to blindly believe someone because they have a high post count. No one else is jumping in telling everyone how many cruises they have been on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Kestrel using Forums mobile app Well, you know if you live near a cruise port and you are approaching your expiration date, you might have numbers skewed higher than if you live in the middle of a vast continent, and you are not that close to your expiration date (I pray), then number of cruises might have some disparity. We are all on the mother wheel, circling round the in the cosmic circle... some of us are at one point and some of us at another. I don't have my timeline in front of me as I read this, but I am 58 years old. I have been to 5 continents and Australia, several islands near nowhere and I work for a living as does my wife, we came from modest backgrounds, both with post graduate degrees, and we make a good living. So, we have done and been to a lot of places and have experienced some exhilarating and some boring and some educational and some trying places. I am Diamond Plus for the purpose of this thread, but what the heck does that have to do with anything????? Good lord can this thread get any dumber????

Hopefully I still have a few trips around the sun to make. But I digress. Everybody has opinions, and that's cool.

Which is beyond what I am... everyone can make it up... some may tell the truth, but you won't know the truth because someone posts it. Kind of like Troy, could actually be Troy or I could be posting FAKE NEWS. When people try to win this stupid thread of an argument by saying I have been on X cruises which is way more than you, Therefore, you need to agree with me, that is when I know we have reached the absolute bottom. That is all I am saying. It should be obvious, but alas....:evilsmile: JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted August 4, 2017 #872 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I did not have it in June, and did not notice if it was gone. Only one I had was the welcome aboard beverage from C&A, which we got only one of instead of two. For the welcome aboard, the DH is still getting his Heineken, and our four little bottles of water, along with the two full bottles of wine (and for some reason the little split of wine has been replaced with an additional full bottle...not sure why?) So now those three bottles of wine, I probably do not need to carry on any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the reason they had to put it up so high out of reach. :o And Mayberry exists in the swamps of the area too. ;p Looking forward to hopefully more of those orbits in my future also....uhhh...pun intended. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
