What are Disney people? As for not fond of being around children. Celebrity and Princess are low cost and basically child free. Also very nice ships to offer.

Princess was anything but kid free in July. 
Because they don't expect a lot of kids there were no kid free zones.. The hot tubs were kid soup.

162 till Panorama ! This will be my first B2B 

The current price has me looking into buying stock for the first time.

I cruise w/ Carnival at least once a year.

I had no idea about the stock holder credit! Thanks!

Maybe I need to learn how to buy stocks 😉

You will LOVE it! 

Holy cow, that's rough!

I've been through storms but all my cruises have made it out to sea... I've certainly missed a port or two to wind or medical emergencies.
 

So let me rephrase... Man I wish I was booked on one of the tree currently cancelled cruises!

Me personally would get the balcony.

It is an extension of your cabin.

I spend alot of time out there.

Wifey is getting ready, I am  out there having a cocktail or 4.

Wake up early walk out and get fresh air.

Room Service Coffee early on the balcony.

Pulling in Port on the Balcony,

Leaving Port on the Balcony.

read a book on the balcony.

No seats on deck. Always a seat on my balcony.

 

In the cabin, Sleep and Shower.

 

Holy cow, we must have been seperated at birth.

I confirm ships time w/ a crew member on my way out.
I wear a watch and do NOT allow my phone to keep time.

Damn, I wish I was booked on a cancelled cruise 😉

One of my favorite cabins... Be warned , you will get soot.

I like the lower level VS. 

4th floor has the largest over hang.

Man I love this ship... I wonder if they will let me bring my own soft tip darts for the dart board... theirs ahem are not very good.
When onboard my wife knows where to find me... sitting in Red Frog or with my feet on the rail of my veranda.

I am looking forward to trying a guys burger.

Oh sure... make me do the math.. my upcoming cruise is 300 a night, almost exactly, per person! 

Good thing I really like the restaurants and bars. My wife loves their spa... her spa bill rivals my bar bill. 

Can't wait to try Princess this summer. I sail Carnival more than Disney.. Disney has better service but Carnival throws stuff at me if I'm spending anywhere near this..

I love cruising Disney! My wife and I still take a cruise with them every other year or so..

I also cruise other lines. 

When I cruise Disney I get an "obstructed" view veranda with a big portal wall.

When I cruise any other line a get a suite with a veranda and usually save a chunk of change. I love my Disney vacations and until they are no longer worth it to me I'll keep signing up for them.

The best customer service I have ever had was on a Disney cruise..

They find a way to wow me every time...

i enjoy the other lines but they don't come close on service so far...

Because we are human. And there are others his actions would directly affect. 

 

Yes, he is young and stupid, and you do not have to have empathy for him, but not caring at all?

I would not only not care I would be very mad at him for wasting my time. I have a limited amount of time on this world I have no time for selfish acts like his.

I'm not quite understanding--you were no longer worried when you found out he jumped on purpose? I suppose you meant that he deserved whatever bad thing happened to him, but what about others? Don't you think he had parents, possibly grandparents, possibly siblings who could have been devastated if worst came to worst? Don't you think there would have been a pall over the whole ship if say he had died or even been seriously medically affected?

 

Yes, he deserves whatever punishment Carnival might mete out such as fining him for the cost of the rescue and/or banning him from cruises, but no longer worrying about his fate seems over the top. I hope I am misinterpreting what you wrote.

Why should we care about that? Clearly the young man didn't. 

I like the VS cabins on the Miracle so much I booked not just the same ship, same itinerary and cabin. 

I was forced to cancel my Splendor cruise last week due to a sudden illness. It was harsh sitting in hospital watching Shaq promoting FUN on TV.

 

I am lucky though, 21 days until boarding Imagination with friends for a spin to Catalina & Ensenada. Life is grand.

That sucks! Sorry to hear you had to miss this cruise!

75 days until Horizon. I’m ready now.is it to early to start packing😀

Never too early .... sometimes it's good practice ;)

436 days till the Carnival Panorama.

439 days till the second Carnival Panorama cruise ;)

I think I need a support group to make it that long...

Glad you had a great time!

I love the VS suite on Carnival ships. ( aft wrap)

I never smelled exhaust but we did get ash..

I would have to wipe down the chairs to use them.

The room will be great and now he has an extra story... have a great cruise!

At least the your man wont have to share the larger bath space so no waiting :cool::cool:

I guess I'm lucky! I get great service and after the first night i seldom have to be asked for a drink preference.

I guess I'm just lucky... I get mine from the parking lot of Walmart :)

I go looking for that little old lady w/ the ice chest...

Whenever I go to Mexico I have to get off the tourist strip to eat. I'm spoiled by having great Mexican food in my area.
