To summarize.....

[Happy HALer]

I have been reading this board again for the past few months in prep for our upcoming cruise. Here is a summary of what I have learned.

 

Hammybee still wants to own a cruiseline.

Jeans are okay in the dining room. Or maybe not.

Smoking is bad for you.

RevNeal is still "Bombastic".

Jim and Ruth wear slippers. Too cute.

NoNoNannette likes to go topless.

The food on board is somewhere between fantastic and not fit for hogs.

It's often cloudy in Alaska.

Second hand smoke is also bad for you.

Most people are not germiphobic.

Bicker is precise, or is he concise? I forget.

The ice buckets are still too small.

 

I also learned their are many kind and helpful people and a good mix of assorted personalities and opinions to keep the board interesting.:)

I forgot,

 

Brian pees on his hands.:D

You may not go to the top of the mountain, sit in the lotus position and pass on the meaning of life to all who venture up the mountain.:)

 

Hopefully they won't ask why formal night is necessary.:eek:

Happy, didn't you not learn any packing tips like the over the door shoe bag, power cord, bungee cord, duct tape, door decorations, motion sickness potions, wrinkle free solutions, steward gift ideas, electronic gadgets of all sorts, etc.etc.etc.

Thanks Happy! We've just talked non-cruising friends into cruising with us early next year and they've been asking for some newbie pointers. Now I can send them directly to your post for a synopsis! ;~))

Happy, this was fantastic and hysterical!!!:D You put such a grin on my face and I'm amazed you were able to sum it all so perfectly and so succinctly!!!

 

But wait!!! Hammybee doesn't own a cruise line?????:confused: ;)

So nice to meet you too!

[RevNeal]

Here's hoping that this post will bring Brian's post (which should be right above mine, once this one uploads) into full view.

[RevNeal]

Ugh! For some reason this thread is jammed!

Watch it display the new posts once I post this. :D

 

Yep, that did it. I can now see Brian offering to shake hands with HappyHALer!!! :D

hehehe

[RuthC]

Thanks, Greg. I was hoping someone would open the logjam.

I tried to open one yesterday and got even more jammed up. :( Decided it was someone else's turn today.

Who's volunteering tomorrow? :D
