cruisenanny Posted April 1, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Do you like a BAD day on a cruise better than a GOOD day at work?? I see a lot of people here say this. Is it just a saying, or do some of you really mean it?:( I LOVE what I do everyday and cruising is just a part of the life I love, not an escape from daily drudgery. Luckily I can say I have never really had a BAD day on a cruise, but if I ever do I am sure it will be far worse than a good day at work!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H82seaUgo Posted April 1, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 1, 2012 nope. i prefer no bad anywhere, but if a bad day on a cruise was better than a good day at work, i'd be out looking for another job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine252 Posted April 1, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2012 'Fraid so. I can't think of a job I would like more than I love cruising... LOL DH loves his job but loves cruising more so "Yep!" for him, too! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadan1 Posted April 1, 2012 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'm fortunate that I have a job I love. So yeah, if the cruise is going to be bad, i'd rather be at work. But I haven't yet had a bad cruise day. I've had days where things weren't perfect (lousy weather, rerouted ports, noisy kids running down the hall when i'm trying to sleep) but nothing to make it a completely bad day.

CaribbeanLuver Posted April 1, 2012 #5 Share Posted April 1, 2012 If I ever have a bad day on a cruise, I'll let you know! It would take a LOT for me to consider any day on a cruise "bad". Sure, things don't always go exactly as planned or there can be petty annoyances, but that doesn't make a "bad day". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted April 1, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 1, 2012 It's hard for me to put "bad" and "cruise" together in the same thought ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathansburden Posted April 1, 2012 #7 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I adore my job, but I only work a few hours a night twice a week. Other then that my "work days" consist of busting my but cooking & cleaning for my family...... and I hate cooking & cleaning. I'd rather have a bad day on a cruise. At least then I'm not the one cooking!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rottweiler Puppy Posted April 1, 2012 #8 Share Posted April 1, 2012 nope. i prefer no bad anywhere, but if a bad day on a cruise was better than a good day at work, i'd be out looking for another job. I agree completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted April 1, 2012 #9 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I'd hate to be paying money for a "bad day on a cruise"! Bad days on vacations simply suck! At least, at work, THEY are paying YOU!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minouli Posted April 1, 2012 #10 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I also prefer a good day at work to a bad day on a cruise. DH and I work hard at jobs we like well enough, but it takes so much sacrifice to scrape up the money to take our family of 4 on a cruise every year or two that if we didn't end up enjoying ourselves it would seem like a huge waste. Luckily it hasn't happened yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megansdad1 Posted April 1, 2012 #12 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I guess it all depends on the definition of bad. If it is truly bad; not the bacon is soft, there are chair hogs or it rained today; then I would rather have a good day at work. Although I have yet to experience a bad day of cruising. *knocks on wood* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LoveMyBoxer Posted April 1, 2012 #14 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I never thought I would have a bad cruise until RCL's EOS this past February. I could not wait to get back, even suggested that we fly home! Other than that cruise, no, I've never had a bad cruise, even the one we took to Bermuda and it rained every single day, still had a great time!

Luckyroot Posted April 1, 2012 #15 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I would have said a resounding yes, until I got a stomach bug on my last cruise and spent 2 days confined to my cabin (and a good part of day 1 spent in the bathroom :() Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mips Posted April 1, 2012 #16 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I am very lucky I love my job and I love my co-workers. A good day at work would probably beat a good day on a cruise! Now a bad day at work is so very, very, bad it has nothing to compare it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrytens Posted April 1, 2012 #19 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Gee, let's ask the Splendor fire pax this question ... :rolleyes: Personally, I can think of a few cruises mentioned on these boards where I would have much rather been at work (bad or good).

babyher Posted April 1, 2012 #21 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Can the Concordia sinking please end this cliche once and for all please? *LOL* Well I was just about to say before I saw your post , if I was on the Concordia THAT day , then yes I would have rather been at work :) But if you consider a bad day cruising as rainy , or not sunny, or we had to miss a port . There are still inside activities to partake in, I am still getting pampered by the crew and fed well, and they have to slide the roof over the pool if I want to go swimming . All in all , I would rather be on the ship than at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted April 1, 2012 #22 Share Posted April 1, 2012 There are days I can love my job, and then there are those where I think my office could become the lead story on CNN. :eek: Now that I've said that, I can also sincerely add that I feel I'm very much in the minority on this board topic . . . My best day(s) at work are pretty much equal to my best day(s) on a cruise. For real!! On those unique special work days I'm offered entertainment, activity, fantastic food, drink, and a night in a very nice hotel. And I'm on the payroll throughout. I'll fully agree I'm in a very small percentage who can claim that, but it's true. I've had a lot of great cruise vacations, and only one would I say was completely 'Bad' (and that was my very first cruise). Some have been totally superb, with me not wanting to get off the ship, and some others were quite enjoyable without being overly memorable. Coming up pretty soon will be another special day at work that I anticipate will be better than numerous questionable days on a cruise. I look forward to it . . . as it helps counter some of the "CNN Days". :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
