wolfshadow Posted February 18, 2009 #2401 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Carol - So sorry to hear about your house! Nice that you have such good friends watching over it though. Now you've got me intrigued about Cabo. When we were there in 2006 we noticed a big difference from the first time we were there in 1996. The area where they have the tender dock now was a lineup of old fishing boats before. And, they made it a nice walking venue from there around the marina toward town with shops and such. I was impressed then, can't wait to see it now! I have friends getting ready to board her this Sunday for her inaugural first trip back down to the MR. I have to wait until April though!

Sheila56 Posted February 18, 2009 #2402 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Sheila, I was referring to how difficult it is to be a Loyalty Ambassador these days. Some (way too many) of these people are downright rude and abusive to Melissa. I have heard language that would make a sailor blush. Carol, That is really too bad, isn't it. Everyone has a bad day now and then, but we should all try to make the best of each day as it comes as it will never return:) As aggravating as people can be, makes you wonder just how very unhappy they are. My sister also really enjoyed this trip. We pick them up in Indianapolis Thursday night at 10:20 pm!! Thanks again for taking time to share your trip with all of us. We board the Celebrity Constellation on Sunday. I can hardly wait! Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rancher Dave Posted February 18, 2009 #2407 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Carol- Sorry to hear about the basement. That happened to relatives once as well. Never a fun thing to deal with. Have a safe flight home. To all aboard thanks for posting and giving us a chance to live the cruise thru your eyes. Many of us would love to have been aboard but timing didn't allow it.

critterchick Posted February 18, 2009 #2408 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Captain Johnny has assured us that the storm will barely affect us. He expects swells of 9 to 11 feet, with some rocking and rolling. I actually find it quite pleasant. Glad to hear it. And so sorry about the house. I hope you're enjoying your final day onboard!

Rare Lionesss Posted February 18, 2009 #2409 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Carol Sorry to hear about the water damage. When we came home from our cruise this summer, our stupid (6 pound) turtle clogged its fileter in the upstairs computer room. 30 gallons of used turtle water flooded the upstairs, down through the kitchen and down a ceiling light fixture. Not a pretty sight or smell. We hired someone to fix it, and now we cannot ever tell it happenned. We had someone come in and check our house daily and God only knows how they missed the flood. Good luck with the cleaning. P.S. Slo-Poke may like to swim in your flood! Just kidding. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truffles2 Posted February 18, 2009 #2412 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Carol, tried to use the "quote" but it would not work???? Anyway, there WAS NO priority disembarkation on the second leg. We also did not get a bridge tour invite, galley tour, and several other things:confused::confused: we usually get. Don't know what was up except the cost of the cruise!

IBookHePays Posted February 18, 2009 #2413 Share Posted February 18, 2009 hi there merion mom, this is another merion mom who needs to know where the garage door opener is....want to send me an email or give me a call? Sorry to butt it, but if you need to open a garage door, without a remote control or inside button, all you need to do is pull down on the rope with the handle on it near the motor. This will disengage the track and you can manually pull the door up. You can snap it back up to lock the door again when you pull the door back down. Yes, my DH and I own a garage door company...hope this helps...if not...nevermind!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irb33785 Posted February 18, 2009 #2414 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Carol, experiencing your journey has been wonderful and I will not say good-bye but hello when I meet you on a future cruise. I know if you are onboard, it will be fun. Also, often the imagination is much worse than the reality. I pray your home is not what you imagine. Safe travels, Brenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanineM Posted February 19, 2009 #2415 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thanks so much for allowing all of us to live vicariously through you! Does it seem like you know every corner, piece of art and stick of furniture on the ship? I'd imagine that it would feel like home! Have a safe trip home, and I hope the flood damages aren't too severe. Janine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubbie617 Posted February 19, 2009 #2424 Share Posted February 19, 2009 It's funny, but I've been watching the clock all day today wondering if Carol was home yet. I did not know about the flooding until about 15 minutes ago, and I didn't realize that she originally planned to fly home tomorrow. I've had the urge to go to the phone to talk to her (we live about a 20 minute drive from each other and meet for lunch from time to time) all day but I figured I would give her time to sift through the mail, etc. before bombarding her. Obviously, that's not the first priority now. As an aside to Carol: I'm not going to email you (your email boxes must be jammed) or call you just yet, but if there's anything I can do to help you with the mess, call me at any time.
