snl Posted July 8, 2007 #1 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I've been reading these boards for years and have been able to figure out most of the abbreviations and there meanings....but when people are referring to their family they put a (d) in front like (dh)what does that mean? I know that I'm going to feel like a complete dumb-dumb:D when I find out. What are some of the most abbrev's used and there meanings for people like me that have a hard time deciphering.:) Liberty OS 12/07 Crown Princess 12/06 Carnival Liberty 12/05 Mariner OS 12/04 Radiance OS 12/03 Carnival Imagination 12/02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL There's space left on our Nov voyage :D...1-1 staff/pax ratio, and they contact precruise to have your incabin beverage and dining preferences ready, I'm told. Surprisingly, was not much more than RCI for same week southern Carib itinerary--though airfare to Bridgetown was pricey compared to MIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
