(snip) You do not want to Cruise with us, It is your loss, because these people here are wonderful folks to go with, I met and cruised with people who not only became friends they became Family... And you didn't even mention that you took the group to the Synagogue in Curacao, and that a good percentage of our Viking gang are Jewish, and very dear friends. You're right... her loss... (not that she ever expressed any interest in joining us anyway...) --Tom
From: Rosaly Z. Greenberger on 16 Dec 2009 11:30 Susette: I believe you are sincere in your reply. However, I am very upset when people speak in generalities. Surely everyone from NY and from Ft.Lauderdale is not rude and unfortunately you bumped into several of them. At least, thank you for your reply and perhaps someday we will sail together and we can have a more intelligent discourse on the subject. rosaly

I like B2B as long as they give you the same cabin and as long as there is a self service laundry. I don't think I could get Bob to do one unless thee was one and they seem to be vanishing. We've done 3 B2B and on one we also had two successive ships with a week between. The first B2B they made us move rooms between because they screwed up our reservation, but even so it wasn't too bad. They helped us move, and we just picked up the clothes on the hangers and moved them from one cabin to the other - not really packing. We once moved houses that way - Bob was transferred to an airfield 45 miles away and we just put the kitchen drawers in the car and drove them to the new place and emptied them out and then went back. That first B2B was a Caribbean cruise and then a Repositioning cruise so it wasn't exactly the same itinerary. The next year we did a repositioning cruise and then had a week between and got on a Christmas cruise which was in two parts - 9 days eastern and then 5 days western Caribbean out of Miami. In Miami, even not moving cabins we had to physically get off the ship and go through customs/immigration and then wait a bit before we got on again. The third was two 13 day cruises through the Panama Canal to Peru and then back to Florida on the second one.

Hey I am italian if theyw ere italian I would have said that too.... it is what it is and We have gone from Ft Lauderdale 4 times and all 4 times that week seems like the same people. IF youw ere on there YOU would have thought the same thing. RUDE IS RUDE and NO need for RUDE ..some old people are contankerous goodness knows My mom was God rest her soul, I would NOT take her to the casino cause I was to embarassed too NO need to be that way. These folks need a lesson in manners. as i said the folks and the sailings we have had this issue is from Ft lauderdale not from any other port Not even bayonne! Not Miami either! so as I said it was what it was and some are just so melodramatic..... Good thing our cruisers are spring Chickens! LOL

We have also met many RUDE people from florida( snow birds from new york) but the really nice ones we met came mostly from united kingdom and texas. We also have many,many very nice jewish friends. But it seems like you can always tell the rude floridians on board,they think their s---t does not stink. cruise lover(~~~~~) .. |
