dmk Posted November 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I am the one at our house who contributes to the Cruise Critic Board. I report all the interesting things I glean from this site to my DH. Do you and your spouse/friend both contribute to this forum? Or do you do like we do, with one person sharing info with the other? Another question I often wonder about is: Am I listening to a woman's point of view or a man's. Sometimes it is obvious other times not. What happens at your house?

barbara11758 Posted November 3, 2004 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I am the cruise critics member. My husband prefers to use the computer to check on his stocks and whatever sports event is going on. However, I have met several men who are the cruise critics members. I don't know if it is an even membership, but I have found this forum interesting one no matter who contributes. Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenJohnson Posted November 3, 2004 #3 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I probably post more, but herself also posts (as Vistadeck) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted November 3, 2004 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I've tried a few times, it may be lack of interest. I'm the only CC member in my family, they all like to cruise, though. They all like to have me make all the arrangements, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy Posted November 3, 2004 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2004 That would be me only in our house! I ask DH his opinion on some of the questions and he reminds me of certain things someone may have asked about a cruise or a ship, but he never logs on himself.

LHobbs Posted November 3, 2004 #7 Share Posted November 3, 2004 It would be me on the board. I tell my husband about it. I enjoy reading and lurking. I post occasionally. We both love to cruise however. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mii Posted November 3, 2004 #9 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Well it is just me. I do all of the planning for cruises but I make sure that I ask him every step of the way on his thoughts and ideas. Marilyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisadelRio Posted November 3, 2004 #10 Share Posted November 3, 2004 It's me at our house. Dh lurks about once a month, if that much. I do call him over to read reviews are anything I think he might be interested in. He has his own computer and his own set of favorite sites. Once we decide where we're going, I do all the vacation planning and he shows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MISSYLOU Posted November 3, 2004 #11 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I am the poster in our family but almost daily DH asks what's new on the boards and reads over my shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmk Posted November 3, 2004 Author #12 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I also do all the planning for our cruises, Lisa. Could it be a female, male division of labour, followed by mutual enjoyment of cruising. It will be interesting to hear what others have to say, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlyshenk Posted November 3, 2004 #13 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I'm the primary poster in our family. I email my husband everything I think he should read and would be interested in. We decide where we want to go and then I make the arrangements and we both decide what excursions we want to do. It has worked out very well for us. He just told me today that he wants me to research the Mediterranean for our next cruise. Gee, do I have to. Ha! Ha! We always book our next cruise while on a cruise so that we get the onboard credit. We are cruising to Alaska next September. We do one cruise a year. So, I have plenty of time to do my research.

nparmelee Posted November 3, 2004 #14 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I'm the only poster, but hubby likes it when I keep him informed on the interesting things. I also do the travel arranging too though....in our case it's more of me being the detail person and him being the bigger picture person. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodPat Posted November 3, 2004 #16 Share Posted November 3, 2004 This is Pat of Rodpat. My husband doesn't do the computer at home. He works on his work computer all day and doesn't want to see a computer in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MszKitty Posted November 3, 2004 #18 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I am the cruise critics member.

I don't know if it is an even membership, but I have found this forum interesting one no matter who contributes. Barbara Sounds just like my house. Me...I'm the cruise message boards junkie (I go to other message boards as well as this one). Hubby....stocks and Hearts or solitaire. I am also the travel planner in our house. All he wants me to do is tell him when and where. He leaves all plans and details up to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkm Posted November 3, 2004 #19 Share Posted November 3, 2004 My DH and I are both avid posters. He's bob278. We both lurk and post to threads that interest us and sometimes we will post on the same thread. We both have our own computers and post at home and at work. As far as planning, he's the organizer and is known as "Mr. Detail Man." He researches everything and plans to the nth degree. I just smile, agree, and cruise.:D :D :D Garry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElaineB2 Posted November 3, 2004 #25 Share Posted November 3, 2004 It's me at our house. I tell DH about interesting posts or he'll ask me about them sometimes. I'm the planner, too. I just tell him when to take the time off from work and all the rest is taken care of :cool:. (It'd be nice if someone would do that for me for a change . . . I think . . . but, I'm a control freak, so I probably wouldn't be able to stand it:D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
