PVP I think you mean.....Personal vacation Planner

DH = Dear Hubby

DW = Dear Wife

DD = Dear Daughter

 

and so on :)

[amina516]

I dont know if theres a list but heres some I do know..:

 

DH - Dear husband, changes to DD, DS, DW (daughter, son, wife etc)

MIL/FIL - Mother/father inlaw

PVP - Personal Vaca. Planner

CCL - Carnival Cruise Line

b2b - back to back..

 

And thats all I can think of!!

 

Anyone else? :)

[cruisebie]

Sure thing! I don't know if there is a standard list somewhere, but here are the ones you mentioned{

 

DD = Dear (Darling) Daughter

 

DH = Dear (Darling) Husband

 

DS= Dear (Darling) Son and so on, just add the D in front of the letter abbreviation for any family member.

 

PVP= Personal Vacation Planner. This is what Carnival calls the people who you call to book.

[momofzeke]

OBC = On Board Credit

CC = Cruise Critic ~ welcome! Glad you found us.

LOL = Laugh out Loud

OP = Original Poster

PP = Previous Poster

I think everyone covered the "unusual" ones but just wanted to tell you I love Billy Madison! :D

 

PS- Thought of a few more you might run across

 

OV - Oceanview cabin

BL - Balcony cabin

IS - Inside Cabin (guarantee)

PP - besides previous post(er), can also be used for passport

BC - Birth Certificate

 

Hope this helps. Welcome to Cruise Critic! :)

I always thought it was odd that people would write: "DD ordered the fish" instead my "My daughter ordered the fish". Does it really save THAT much time? Especially when it's the son...only three more letters! :D

[cathyoo]

The D can be anything.. depending on how the poster is feeling. my DH is generally my Dear Husband, occasionally he is my Darling husband and sometimes he is my Dam@ husband.

[snoodel]

Gotta say , i love the reference to Happy Maddison..

 

I had a hard time too getting used to the speak here.. I was always used to my wife refering to me as a "DH" but it was always "why do you have to be such a DH".. And bless her heart,, never would she abreviate it either,, use the full phrase...

But then,, I am a DH sometimes.. ok, most times,, It's a job I really enjoy..

LMAO<<<<

Never thought of the DH that way, now it is stuck in my head..... ;-)

[Odoyal Rulez]

Thanks pals...im going to be on the fascination in september...maybe ill see some of you there...

[RizzoLee]

FI = fiance :)

 

Won't often see that one, but some people refer to FI instead of fiance(e).

 

Now, if you're on a cruise, and hear 'SOS', I suggest you get to your muster station. :eek:

LOL. I thought MHO was My Honest Opinion. Sometimes its fun trying to figure out what they are, especially when you are new to CC.

[nychelle02]

I had the same question but I didn't want to ask and figured I would learn over time. I love these boards I am addicted!

 

My next cruise is on RCCL, but my first cruise was on Carnival so Carnival has my heart.

[allgeeteredup]

Does anyone want to add the always colorful obsenities?

 

***** - what the F**%

SOB - son of a bi*&h

JHC - Jesus H. Christ

GD - God D#~n

 

I'm sure there are many, many more. I just thought it would be fun to start a newbie with swearing on a thread.
