LaPaloma Posted August 6, 2010 #402 Share Posted August 6, 2010 After reading Wripro's comment...I wonder how many people agree with him as I do. I thought that this site was for comments about our cruises..and asking pertinent questions. Somehow..it has become a running commentary for..as Wripro said..amusement. I would add to that...self amusement. I have to say..I liked it best when it was about sincere comments. Lola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneBP Posted August 6, 2010 #403 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Can't we do both? I agree, sometimes it's tough to take a subject and create a new thread, >"Remember, this is a thread for "fun" posts only, and member to member communication.. Only "positive" comments allowed!" I use this thread a lot, posting things that I think might be interesting to other cruisers as they are to me. They are not all, obviously, about Seabourn, but then it's rare that any of us sail only on Seabourn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seabourn-nail Posted August 7, 2010 #405 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Let's try this: Today is the "Gay Parade" through the Amsterdam Canals. In boats of course, all dressed up, mostly in pink. This morning a cruise ship arrived in the PTA (cruise terminal) having 2.100 gays on board! I wish we could offer better weather! Marja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LN50 Posted August 7, 2010 #407 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Crew life on NCL with 4100 passengers: http://www.cruisemates.com/articles/feature/Norwegian-Epic-Crew%20Life-071810.cfm#axzz0vkHv7fle Thanks Jane it is an interesting article, and good to know that the crew are looked after. I hate to think of them having to share 3 or 4 to a cabin when they work so hard for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lola of course this site is for comments about our cruises....its also for advice for new comers..... or even advice for old timers going to a place for the first time......I think its also a place where we can chatter (or should be allowed to) to new friends we have made on our various cruises.....I like to hear any news about the lives of the crew, who we all seem to agree are so wonderful....a bit of gossip here and there never hurt anyone. If this site is only for "comments and pertinent questions", then maybe it should be abolished completley and the official Seaboun site is all that is needed!! Why is Cruise Critic relevent? Maybe Seabourn can get a Wikipedia page that answers all the "pertinent" questions.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARIANH Posted August 7, 2010 #409 Share Posted August 7, 2010 (edited) I have to say..I liked it best when it was about sincere comments. Lola Sincere means - free from deceit, genuine,honest or frank. All very positive attributes. I hope that you are not suggesting that nowadays comments are being made that are deceitful, non genuine, dishonest or not frank. Frankly, the comments I have read on the Seabourn board have all reflected sincere views. They may be misguided in some peoples opinion ; but that is another thing entirely. And to close on a positive note, I quote: "Insincerity is always weakness; sincerity even in error is strength" George Henry Lewes (1817- 1878) Edited August 7, 2010 by MARIANH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cands Posted August 8, 2010 #410 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) I've been enjoying the 'expanded' topics and conversations on this board. It's a lot more stimulating and interesting than reading the same stock questions and answers over and over! It also gives the opportunity to those of us who would like to post, but feel intimidated by some 'hard core', high number posters, who usually dominate the responses and don't brook any disagreement with their opinions.

OrpingtonT Posted August 8, 2010 #411 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I, too, like this informal thread where off topic and fun observations can be posted. I particularly enjoy JaneBR's sharing of interesting items and photos which she spots in her readings. It is enterprising of this board to have such a site and long may it continue.

tayl Posted August 8, 2010 #412 Share Posted August 8, 2010 We are having a small family reunion in Sept. I was not able to convince everyone to try Seabourn (my favourite, of course).

I must admit sometimes I find it much easier to write then speak. With writing you have that wonderful opportunity to edit your words.

Host Dan Posted August 10, 2010 Author #423 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Well, I was on the Freedom of the Seas, for a "disneyesque" type 7 day vacation. I really wasn't thinking clearly, as its summer vaction, and 1200 children onboard! It was very crowded. Not Seabourn- at all! Anyway, it was what it was, and lesson learned!

wripro Posted August 10, 2010 #424 Share Posted August 10, 2010 1200 children? That's not a cruise, that's a sentence! Hope you had a good time anyway, Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted August 10, 2010 #425 Share Posted August 10, 2010 MarianH, Since you are obviously very interested in which Seabourn cruises I have been on lately here's a list of the ones I remember. 53 days on the Odyssey World Cruise Odyssey maiden voyage 22 days on the Spirit in the Far East in Feb/March 2009 Legend Crossing (can't remember whether it was 2008. Think so) Fjords on the Pride (can't remember exact dates but in the last three or four years) Baltic on the Pride (same) Panama Canal on the Legend (same) Hope this helps you.
