You are talking too?
I came online with good intentions and hoping to present myself as an honest woman.
But there are a few who get their kicks out of duping people. Some may present themselves in a way to guarantee tbat a person will be attracted and then blow it all up in your face and admit who they really are later..if thats even true as well.
It makes me feel sick (literally) knowing that someone can spend time..sometimes lots of time chatting with you and then they admit they are fakes or admit that they used you to write a book or something stupid like that.
Would you ever trust that person again and anything they say?
I wouldnt..I was decieved once and once is enough.




I am sorry you went through that Candi.
You just have to keep your guard up and you will find the right guy.

I Didn't realize you could book directly through them. Always used a travel agent. So when you book directly through NCL does that include the flight?
Is it cheaper than going through a travel agent?

I agree about NCL, its the only cruise line I have ever used. I never got any free jewellery though lol.
My daughter and her BF booked this trip as a last minute thing, cheapest way they could go. They found out after it was booked that there cabin was in the first floor at the back of the ship. Worst place on a ship . But they figured how long are you really in your cabin. I have not heard any complaints about that yet, so I will let you know when they get back on Sunday.
I am sure people have gone with Carnival and had no problems, but I am sticking with NCL.




maybe because you've never had your kids involved in an attempted kidnapping either on THEIR watch laugh

I book directly thru NCL.. this way.. I get the room I want on the floor I want.. maybe it helps too that I'm a handicap?? all I know is.. I get in touch with my personal NCL agent and he does his magic and I'M a happy camper! bigsmile

I'm sure there are some that have enjoyed Carnival without problems.. but man.. they sure have been having a LOT lately.. and with all the hype, not helping their status.. at least not with me OR anyone I know.. and of course I promote NCL over others.. who wouldn't once you've traveled with 'em huh :wink:

I asked you a serious question about my dog but got no response
maybe when you finish your studies you can answer

Really, if you have serious concerns about your dog ,you really should take it the Vet. That could save its life waiting might not.

Morning all. Looking like a great day here, low 40's around noon, 20's & snow by 8 PM.

I am finally tired of winter & looking for warm weather.

Viv, hoping for the best with your business, you deserve it.

Betts, keep all that cold up there, OK.

All the rest of you, ENJOY LIFE.

Oh trust me Don we are! Currently it is minus 23 C. and no end to minus temps in sight.

that sucks for your daughter.. but I'm sure they'll see now that Carnival is NOT the "great escape" they make it out to be OR best prices OR service either..

NCL wasn't like that.. in Jamaica our bus broke down and in 15 mins there was another arriving to take us AND we continued on with our outing (and our guide was fantastic at watching our backs there, keeping us outta harms way).. plus when we got back to the ship in Egypt (after our ordeal) they added quite a few extras to compensate, including both my daughters and I each received gold/pearl bracelets AND they gave me a 1 karat blue topaz & 18k white gold chain(I mounted the stone when we got back cuz they didn't have that service on the ship) plus a few extra 100$$ in on board credits, free drinks, $$ for the casino.. etc.. now THAT is SERVICE!! and why I'll ALWAYS choose NCL over any other line.. I guess they appreciate repeat clients (even though it wasn't my first NCL trip).. bigsmile

I'm sure they would have helped with his lack of insulin.. they're usually equipped for ANYthing..

being you're allowed 1 carry-on, a lap-top and a purse (for women) I usually carry my lap-top with me.. going through those big scanner/x-ray machines at the airports COULD cause damage to the hard-drive.. it's best to keep it on your person.. I'm sure next time though.. they'll be toting the necessary things ON them laugh live 'n learn huh


oh and... I'm thinking, if I can manage it, to retire on a cruise ship (or with their line and just jump ship to ship) and see the WORLD!! now wouldn't THAT be somethin :banana:

Oh man that would be something!
Got an email from my daughter today. she is so mad right now. This time they went with Carnival Cruise and booked all their excursions with them. Well today she went and swam with the STINGRAYS , from there they were suppose to go to some place with a bunch of turtles. The bus driver was suppose to take them there after their swim with the stingrays. She got her wires crossed and left after she dropped them off, leaving a whole bus load of people stranded.
Needless to say there was a whole bunch of angry people.
This trip has not been a good one for them lol

Things are good Betts. I think a motorcycle company is interested in my bags..at least they bought one to take to their main company meeting to see if they can add me to their supplier list..I've got my fingers crossed.
And you are right..ese doesn't need much encouragementlaugh

You will get added I know you will..I feel it in my bones lo

Morning Viv, Carol and Jag

You have been luckier than us. Its still minus 14c here . Wind chill more like minus 30. Still lots and lots of snow here. Nothing melted all that much. I think it feels so long this year because it started snowing in Oct. and has not stopped yet.
I am ready fopr another cruise lol


we're at -8C currently.. it's brisk.. a lil windy.. but mostly moderately cold.. we've had temps dropping below -40 at times this year though.. global warming I'm afraid.. cold gets colder and.. warm gets HOT laugh thank GAWD for central air :banana:

I don't have air, but mostly I am ok down in my rec room. Its usually cooler there.

I am anxious to hear how my Daughter made out with her cruise. She did email me to say they got their luggage back, it was waiting for them in Jamaica. Five days without luggage. The worst thing is her BF had his insulin on an ice pack in his suitcase and his work lap top.
Leaving his meds in the suitcase was not a bright idea. I am hoping the ship's Doctor could have helped him out with that.

I am very excited because in Jan 2015 I am going to have a dream come true. I will be going on my first cruise! Any advice? I have only travelled a few times in my life, so this is HUGE for me! I went to Disney World for my honeymoon and to Las Vegas with a friend. That is my resort experience.

You lucky girl, I am so Jealous !
You will have a great time. Where are you going and what cruise line are you using?
My only advice is to make sure you have a good comfortable pair of running shoes and bring socks. I made the mistake of not doing that the first time and with all the walking I did I paid the piper big time.
Also know that your drinks are not free, so be careful about running up too big of a tab.
Another thing is make sure you have some essentials in your carry on ,tooth paste and tooth brush and undies and stuff.
My daughter is on cruise right now, and the airline lost their luggage. They just got it yesterday since Sat. So anything you really need have with you as much as possible.

I forgot to mention on the submarine ride we also saw a sink and toilet that the guide said was from a ship wreck. Not sure if that was for real or just put there for drama lol.

Yes I have always lived in Ontario. Right now I live about and hour or so away from Toronto.
The snow here is dreadful, some snow piles are as high as 15 ft. Causing lots of accidents.
Will winter ever end??????????????????????????????



thats funny about the toilet and sink.. laugh ya never know with tourism today.. what they'll do to increase the "effect" laugh

sorry it took so long to respond.. been busy with mundane stuff.. ohwell

the snow here is melting.. nicely.. we've gotten a few dustings recently but nothing that stayed OR needed any real shoveling.. it's been pretty windy here though so that's why it's probably not looking like there's anything hanging around.. wow.. 15'?? man.. guess I'm dodging THAT bullet huh.. phew!!

I live in the Quebec Triangle.. which simply means we don't always get the weather everyone else gets.. just the other day I was talking to someone in Montreal who said it was snowing like CRAZY there.. and here? Total SUNSHINE!! :banana:

as for winter ending?? I don't get what everyone's complaining about.. it typically lasts until mid March or has, some years, gone right through to April.. so far.. it's been fairly SHORT considering we still were at about +15 C in December.. and I'm TOTALLY okay with 2 months of winter!! :banana: regardless.. it'll be over soon enough and then EVERYone can complain about it being TOO HOT laugh
