You know you REALLY need a cruise when...

[ekerr19]

I know my wife and I need a cruise...expecially her. I lost my job about this time last year and haven't worked steady since then. My wife has carried the financial load almost entirely by herself. TODAY...I got a job (I'll work only on commission, but thank God it's a chance). The first thing I told my new boss was that I will be repaying my wife with a cruise...so reserve a week for vacation very soon. Good things come to those who wait. Now...should we take Veendam, Westerdam, or RCCL's Radiance of the seas?

 

Dexter - Congratulations on getting that job!!! Our economy has not rebounded much either - despite what everyone says... The housing prices continue to skyrocket and Denver made the top 10 "over-priced" areas for the first time ever... thankfully, we aren't over mortgaged.

 

Good luck with the new job - take that cruise as soon as you can - and look for the discounted sailings! It sounds like you both deserve it. :)

Thanks ekerr19. The economy here in Augusta, Ga is actually booming, but not for those who are approaching 60 like me. I worked as a radio announcer for 30 years here, but when the big corporations began buying up radio stations the older guys with good salaries were the first to go. But, I ain't dead yet and "I will survive"! Thanks again. Luckily I had a little savings that paid off most of our bills.

Dexter, congrats on the job and even bigger kudos for your attitude, I bet you are a great employee.

Babyher, that's the ticket (no pun intended) Oh, and don't forget the maid to knock the dust off the furniture whilst you are busy cruising. . . And the portion of the winnings you'll spend to take all your CC buddies on a very special cruise :D

 

I miss watching the ocean go by from my room

I miss having my bed made with triple sheets

I miss the "laundry bag"

I miss the food

I miss having my food prepared and nicely presented

I WANNA GO ON ANOTHER CRUISE. . . NOOOWWWWW!!!!:eek:

I keep humming "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" all the time.

...which ends: "And never again I'll go sailing." :eek:

Entercom? CC? Citadel? Infinity?

You know you really need a cruise when you spend all your "FREE TIME" on cruise critic. :):)
