I will not have to get up at 6am for work.

I will not have to go to bed early because of getting up at 6am for work.

I will not have to house clean, cook, do laundry or clean the kitty litter box.

 

and, most importantly,

 

I will not have to deal with the harsh Maritime Canadian winter!

Instead of thinking about what I will do on my cruise, I am now thinking about what I will NOT do.

 

I will not have to answer the phone.

I will not have to do any work.

I will not have to carry my cell phone everywhere I go.

I will not have to make sure to let the dog out.

I will not have to make the bed.

I will not have to make dinner, or load the dishwasher, or unload the dishwasher.

 

Know what I mean? I am beginning to think that taking a cruise is more about what you don't do than what you do do......

 

my first cruise, i was exhausted. I did nothing but sleep and played in the casino. That's it. No decks, no pool, no hot tub etc. We just vegged on the balcony and hung out in the casino. It was a great cruise! I love doing nothing sometimes! it's really doing something!

I will not contact work in any way. If my department can't live without me for a week I will NOT feel sorry for them.

I will not have to worry about drinking too much and running into a student or parent.

I will not have to look at a computer or cell phone.

I will not have to put down a good book to go to bed early so I'm able to get up and go to work the next morning.

I will not have to do anything that resembles a chore or errand and I WILL love EVERY minute of my vacation!!!

I will not:

Sweat the small stuff

Whine about little things

Be rude to anyone

Worry if the cruise gets diverted (I sail in the fall usually)

Pay attention to how others dress or allow them to bother me at all

Pay attention to how much others eat (never have, never will)

Pay attention so someone elses whining or complaining

I will

have an awesome time

try something new (activity, food)

have at least 1 DOD every day

always remember to say thank you to those that help make my cruise wonderful (friends, husband and/or staff)

make new friends and enjoy the old friends

I will NOT worry that I don't have a perfect bathing suit body

I will NOT worry what others think if I decide to dance on the lido deck...alone!

I will NOT rush to get off the ship at the end of the week.

I will NOT book another cruise.....ok, that's a lie!

What I learned from previous cruises- I will not go and waste time playing- to eat at the Mongolian Grill(highly overrated)

I will not stuff myself on food because it is there-:oI will stuff myself on things I want to eat, like those great little cakes at tea time:D

I will not miss a movie I want to see, because I "don't have time"

I will not forget to say please and thank you to everyone.

I will not complain if I do one laod of laundry, because I am doing it on a ship:)

I completely agree! And you said "do do".

I will not....(thoughts from a cardiac nurse)

 

Be treated like your maid one minute and then expected to save your butt when things aren't going well

 

Skip my lunch break during a 12 hr shift

 

Help anyone to the bathroom

 

Have to convince anyone (I'm not mentioning any names, you new docs know who you are) why their choices (orders) are a bad idea.

 

Have to apologize to anyone because their stay at the hospital didn't meet expectations of a 5 star hotel!!!

 

I love my job and go the extra mile but it does kill me sometimes when I see firsthand the snobbery and audacity of some people who feel entitled.

Wow...isn't that the truth!! I have the same list...plus, I won't have to make sure I have a designated driver if I have one too many cocktails!!:o

 

I can drink all I want as long as I can walk to my cabin, I'm good.

 

I will NOT be on a DIET :D

 

I must say I love many things others have said. I agree with the not answering phones and email but on top of all those great things I will NOT do I am going to add a big one......at least for me since I drive 50k miles a year. I'm an outside salesperson.....

 

 

I will NOT have to drive!

I will not let anyone ruin my fun

 

Plus all the others like not make my bed, do the dishes etc. Looking forward to a week off from work (at home & at work):D

I will not: (coming from an In-Home daycare Provider)

 

Change a diaper

Wipe a snotty nose

Cook lunch for 6 kids under 3

Break up fights

Listen to "she/hit me"

I will NOT worry about the captain. I know Carnival hires amazing staff and we will arrive to our destination as long as its safe and if not I'm confident the captain will steer us out off harms way.
