Molly BPOE Posted July 1, 2010 #151 Share Posted July 1, 2010 What I found very interesting was that she was not singling out Carnival, but basically saying cruising in general was a trailer trash vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailercruiser Posted July 1, 2010 #152 Share Posted July 1, 2010 so i was on cruise critics reveiwing some ports of call for our up-coming 7 day on the dream on october 7th when a friend of mine said " i don't understand why you cruise they are like the trailer trash of vacations?" I can't tell you how upset i got. iI could not believe she said that needless to say i flew off the handle. i explained to her that it is not like that at all. furthermore i am able to take 2 seven day cruises a year usually a balcony for a very reasonable price. i would not be able to fly to the caribean for a week without spending at least double that. i called her a snob. was i wrong for getting so upset at her opinion? i don't see how she even can make an assumption considering she has only been on one cruise on holland to alaska with her grandmother when she was 18!!! i will say i am not blind i have noticed trashy behavior on my cruises but don't you see that on most vacays at some point?? she said she was sorry for offending me but i never heard an apology for being so close minded. thanks for letting me vent Whats wrong with trailer trash?;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFinTx Posted July 1, 2010 #155 Share Posted July 1, 2010 No faking required...just buy a suite! :eek: it's cheaper to fake it. why spend $ if'n you don't have to? besides, the less you spend on the cabin, the more you can spend on the mash. :p /trailer trash mode off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ700 Posted July 1, 2010 #156 Share Posted July 1, 2010 There it is... had to find it in the html garbage. Is there an easier way then to copy the html codes and dig out the actual image reference?? I love it. When I saw the small version, I thought it was a rainbow mullet.

I love that carnival guests are not snobby and stuck up! I feel like I fit in on carnival and met people who wanted to have good time, I found it very laid back and informal and it suited me. I would consider a line like princess or holland if I were on honeymoon, but to hang with a group of friends or my family I will pick carnival. It doesnt suit everybody. A few people being drunk on deck wouldnt spoil my cruise in fact last time I cruised I got quite drunk, slipped over on deck whilst holding a cup of coffee and accidently threw the whole cup into my face and hair! I dont think I spoiled anyone elses day apart from my own ( hope not ):rolleyes: come on its a vacation people let their hair down it doesnt mean they are trailer trash!

nikimouse Posted July 1, 2010 #164 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I did read that carnival were party boats and thats what sold it to my friends lol we spent a weekend in miami and went on the sensation but id hardly call it a party there were about 10 people dancing in the club, I kinda had to apologise for it not being as wild as we hoped. we did go to a club in nassau and had a great time. absolutly the best vacation ever for all of us. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are booked on the Conquest b2b 5 and 12 Sept out of Galveston! Too bad we aren't on the same ship together, the Star was a blast! Reading the posts about your friend, she is nothing but a spoiled brat that has had life handed to her on a silver platter. Things have a way of balancing themselves and I just hope she doesn't wake up one day in circumstances whereby she finds out what "TRAILER TRASH" really means! Take care and have a great cruise Flint and Ursula:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboatrider Posted July 2, 2010 #168 Share Posted July 2, 2010 If being able to cruise once or twice a year qualifies as "trailer trash", then I guess that's what I am:D It is very clear that while your friend may be "affluent" monetarily, she's certainly an uneducated consumer.

Rare NutsAboutGolf Posted July 2, 2010 #174 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Only read the first and last page...A good comeback to get in her head is to comment where she vacations...Let's say it's villas in Fiji...Say along the lines of: "I'm sick of vacationing where people are prettier and richer than us in Fiji...Let's go on carnival together where we'll be richer and prettier than any of the trailer thrash" Should get her to stop, think and never comment on your vacation plans again... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuggyBee Posted July 2, 2010 #175 Share Posted July 2, 2010 It's really more Middleburg. DUUUUUVVALLL!!!! That made me LOL. I also remember hearing "The West Side is the Best Side!!" Carnival can certainly draw lots of customers from there. ;) No wonder they have cruises leaving from Jax and Prt Canaveral! The behavior I witnessed on our NCL cruise was far worse than anything I have ever seen on Carnival. Guess it's kind of hard to change people's minds once the "trailer trash" perception is out there. I for one think Carnival does a great job of keeping their cruises light, fun and unpretentious. Exactly what I like for my vacay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
