wrp96 Posted June 4, 2008 #251 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Someone actually mentioned this review last week on Rhapsody of the Seas - it is well known far and wide!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambchoplady Posted June 4, 2008 #252 Share Posted June 4, 2008 This is, single-handedly, the best review of a cruise (albiet one marred with misfortune that you seemed to take with grace and humor) I have -ever- read in my years of cruising. I would cruise with you any day of the week. If you are not writing for publication, you should be. ;) I absolutely agree! Love your attitude!

carontori Posted June 4, 2008 #253 Share Posted June 4, 2008 When I first read this several months ago I copied it to my computer. Whenever I need a good laugh, I reread it and it never fails to put a smile on my face. Thanks sailorjack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SailorJack Posted June 4, 2008 Author #255 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I wonder where Sailor Jack is sailing to next:confused: I was somewhat surprised to see this thread pop up again. As always, my thanks for the kind words! In answer to your question, SailorJill and I leave on Sunday for the Norwegian Jewell and her cruise on the Baltic.

Cruise_More_Often Posted June 4, 2008 #256 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I was somewhat surprised to see this thread pop up again. As always, my thanks for the kind words! In answer to your question, SailorJill and I leave on Sunday for the Norwegian Jewell and her cruise on the Baltic. Here's hoping your Jewel cruise is as much fun for us as your Dream cruise was! :D :D :D Have a great cruise, Sailors Jack and Jill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelmatron Posted June 5, 2008 #257 Share Posted June 5, 2008 How I wish we were on the Norwegian Jewell and her cruise on the Baltic with you! You whine so beautifully! I'm glad people are still posting to this since I missed it last December. Have a great cruise...We'll be watching for your next review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie51 Posted June 5, 2008 #258 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Bon Voyage! Have a wonderful time on the Jewel. Is this the 50% off cruise you chose? Please, please write a review of the Jewel cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieL Posted June 6, 2008 #259 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I haven't read it for a while, but I went looking for the line: "and we rear-ended the Suzuki Grand Vitara." That was one of my favorite parts, without a doubt. It now just says "Suzukis." I didn't bother to read through all the posts again, my apologies. I have the original post bookmarked and read it now and then, just like many others. Sailor Jack and Jill, a nation (perhaps a world...) anxiously awaits your Baltic review. No pressure...just 30,000+ posts show people who want to vacation with you! I'd look for an agent now...Leno and Letterman might need writers!

sail-a-bration Posted June 6, 2008 #265 Share Posted June 6, 2008 In the words of another great southern man Jim Neighbors (aka Gomer Pile) Thank yeh, thank yeh, thank yeh.

ltsally Posted June 6, 2008 #270 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Great, hysterical review! So glad I ran across the link at the HAL forum this morning. Addendum: Two posters got off terrific lines in the spirit of SJack - since so many CC posters don't seem to read all the way through a thread, I direct your attention to #s 122 (read down, to the part about Bell's Palsy) and Pete's #216. Can't wait to share this review with my spouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidmon Posted June 6, 2008 #273 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sorry for the troubles you had. But it was a very funny review, with a great writer. I kind of picture Scott Adams (Dilbert comic) writing the review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbelle Posted June 6, 2008 #274 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thank you SailorJack! I found your review on the HAL board. Also on that board ,Copper10-8 posted a youtube link of the "event". Happy Smooth and "Uneventful" Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your great wit.:) Hi, Jackie - I went back and checked and there was no editing. it still refers to the Grand Vitara - it is a few lines above the reference to Suzuki, but it is there.
