Sharon, I'm thinking of you.... wish I could help.

Again Sharon, I'm so very sorry, you would think there would be a better word than sorry.

I'm sure things are a mind boggling blur right now, I hope family is stepping up to help.

Belle said it the best, " Don't let people tell you what YOU should FEEL or what

YOU should DO. Do what you want, your feelings are your

feelings."

Belle you really do understand, I'm sorry you have also been through it.

Kathy, you have been such a good friend to Sharon, I have followed the posts when I could. I'm sorry your boss is still such a stinker {{hugs}}

Dianne

Sharon, I'm so sorry, I feel badly that I haven't been checking in. I'm not going to say more here, I just want you to know I'm thinking of you.

{{hugs}} my friend.

Dianne

It won't be in your room when you board but you can just pick up the phone and order the same thing from room service. I believe these prices you listed include the 15% gratuity. It doesn't take them long to deliver.

Thank you, just trying to work out how to have some liquor in our room to sip on the balcony :-)

I noticed on the Princess web site under gifts & services you can purchase a small amount of liquor. Will it be in your cabin with no additional fees?

You know I read but can't always find the right words to say. It seems wrong to say what's going well in my life when things are so much tougher in yours right now. We can only pray that Bill can do a turn around and start feeling much better. I'm worried about you Sharon you can only do so much before you explode ((hugs}}

Kathy The weight thing Oh man I have lost the battle recently...I don't go up but I desperately need to go down!

Thinking of you ladies.

Dianne

A little sad today.

Today is/was my husbands birthday

so thinking of him last night and today

more than I usually do.

Going out to dinner with son and daughter

tonight to remember him.

 

It's been only four months since he died

I know it will get better but now I miss him

so much.

 

Thanks for listening I needed to express my

sadness today.

Hi Belle, I'm so very sorry to read about the loss of your husband, this has to be so hard for you especially today.

Its serendipity that I came on CC today and thought of you. I actually came looking to see if you still did your thread and lovely poems. What a joy to find you here, I just wish it was better circumstances for you.

So glad you and your children will be going out together tonight.

{{hugs}}

Dianne

Gosh time just seems to fly by, still real busy helping my daughter with my Granddaughter. My SIL is doing pretty good, catheter comes out tomorrow, Granddaughter is a dancer and her studio has Nationals in Los Angeles next week. So she and her Mom are heading there Sunday, I will help out with SIL till he doesn't need it.

Sharon, I hope you can get some relief once in awhile, it's a lot of stress being the only caregiver. Hopefully you will know more about the services Friday.

Kathy Seattle is one of my favorite cities even with rain. It sounds like you had an adventure there staying in the Dorms. We are heading up by train the 12th, have a sleeper car:)

Sharon, I hope Bill gains some energy and you see a rally soon, get one of the kids to help at the yard. There is just too much for you right now.

Sorry its short gotta run, Thinking of you two stay safe!

Sharon, they didn't bring the motor:eek: WTH!

I hate that people can be that insincere, just let me know what I can do....then I'll let you know if I can! It seems they feel if they just make the statement that's enough. I wish you had some help you can count on, it has to be tough doing so much alone.

I hope Bill is relaxing in his bed (with a motor) and starting to feel stronger.

Kathy how have you been? I'm impressed you have stuck it out at your job, you must have the patience of a saint.

So what did you do on your vacation?

Just got great news on my son-in-law his pathology report came back cancer free!

Smiles are coming back.:)

Sharon, so sorry I didn't make it back. My son in Law had cancer surgery yesterday, it went well but has been a tough couple of weeks.

Not as tough as yours though....honey I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. Hospice sounds so final but I have a 95 year old Uncle that has been on it for 2 years, he's not ready to go..

I so hope Bill makes a turn around soon <3

No time right now I'll be back tomorrow.

Kathy enjoy your trip :-)

Dang ladies you are both having more than your share! I saw Sharon post on FB and was concerned about Bill.

Hi Kathy, I hope you getting your energy back, I read back a few posts. Just no fun. Also sorry you still have to put up with the irritating boss, that makes going to work really tough.

Sharon, oh my gosh what a scary thing to home to, the poor guy. Infections can really mess with your mind. I lost my mom last November, she had Alzheimer's but got a lot of bladder infections, she ended up in the hospital twice in one month and it was always a battle because she was so out of it.

Good to hear you are seeing some improvement.

You should cry BTW you have a lot on your plate.

I don't come to CC very often we have a cruise planned for September so I check out the roll call it's really a slow moving one.

Still fighting the weight battle, I think I will for the rest of my life.

Watching, NBA final with Jim, you know I have to cheer for the Warriors since they are the home team.

Hang in there kids, I will try to check in a little more, I miss these boards and you guys.

We, too, are booked in E736 on the Coral on our Alaska cruise in June. Please do report back on the cabin - it is the first time we are so far aft and also the first time our deck is not sandwiched between decks that have cabins above and below us. We've read differing accounts as to the noise/vibration due to the thrusters, the slamming of the aft viewing deck door at all hours and the noise from the Universe Lounge below.

 

We are going with a positive attitude and deliberately chose this cabin knowing the reported issues - but it's good to be prepared with as much info as possible. We are excited to have the aft viewing deck so close by and to have the expanded view from our covered, wrap around balcony. We are not concerned at all about the lack of privacy from people peering around the corner at us from the viewing deck - we've had fully exposed minis on the dolphin deck our last two voyages!

 

We look forward to your report - have a wonderful trip - the Canal is definitely on our Bucket List!

The Coral is my favorite ship, I have cruised on it 3 times always Emerald deck aft usually cabin E727. You already know about the lack of privacy when people are on the viewing deck but they usually aren't staring at you, it's that aft view :-D

The only real complaint I heard mentioned was noise when the doors slam, they put signs on the doors asking us to be considerate, most people were.

We have never had an issue with noise from above or below or vibration from the thrusters. We heard them once in a while when arriving or leaving a port.

Personally I think it's the best deck on the ship, you will have a great time.

Yup what Lynne said :)

Mary what an amazing review, your family is beautiful!

Thanks so much for your beautiful photo's! I was looking for some of the Caribbean Princess to show a friend who is considering her first Princess cruise. Yours are more than perfect! :)

Thanks so much Astro Flyer and since you know Pam I will take it as the gospel :). That's pretty much what I thought, and since I recommended his TA (and like her) I needed back up to explain this.

jrzebird, Thank you for the tips, this has been a great thread,

Dianne

Pam or who ever might know, I have a friend doing a 26 day b2b but was upset because his TA did not make it a continuous cruise. He get's the military benefit and says he will get it for each cruise. I'm wondering if this is why the TA did not make it continuous?

To be honest I hadn't heard of a cruise being referred to as a "continuous" on a b2b

Just curious..

Thanks,

David, I love that you take the time to follow the ship and post these pictures.

Thank You,

Dianne

Pia, we still haven't cruised together! Thank you so much for your live, you are traveling with some crazy people I have had the joy of cruising with in the past.

I'm grateful to everyone putting their thoughts and tips while on this cruise. I'm filing them away for future trips:)

For now, virtual cruiser

Dianne

Slowly it's coming along, they say 4 more hours

Merry Christmas you two :) Sharon I hope your sister can come home soon and is fine,

Kathy, I hope all is well with you and work as I remember the boss can be a bit of a "jerk"

I was just thinking of you two I love how you keep the thread going.

Dianne
