DCL Confessions

[Tianni]

Hi Tianni.....we live in Abita Springs, LA, not far from Slidell. Your signature shows "Fantasy 2013"....have you already been? We are sailing on the Fantasy in October 2013....counting down the days. Have previously sailed the Magic and the Dream. Loved both of them and I'm sure we will love the Fantasy too. So excited!

We went in May! Booked our next cruise to Europe while there!!!

Louisiana roll call? I'm in New Orleans and will be sailing on the Fantasy in Nov. We've sailed on all 3 other ships.

Worked in Downtown New Orleans until 2007 and now work on the Northshore near where I live. Once I sailed on the Fantasy in Oct., I will have sailed on 3 of the 4 ships....Magic in 2007, Dream in 2011 and now the Fantasy in 2013. Just need to sail on the Wonder now.

I'm from Louisiana! Presently living in North Louisiana, but originally from South Louisiana (Houma). I will be on the Fantasy November 2014. I have only been on the Magic so far, but will sail on the Wonder this November and the Dream next June! I have to confess that I wasn't sure that cruising was for me. I was a little but seasick the first day so I took bonine which made me drowsy. At first I was comparing the cruise to WDW and it almost seemed boring. However, as the week progressed, the nausea went away, I attended some of the onboard activities like the theatre productions, the hypnotist show, the spa, the towel folding class, the character interactions, etc. and realized I was truly enjoying myself at a much more relaxed pace! I still love WDW, but I found that with the cruise I didn't need a vacation after my vacation!

I have relatives that live in Houma and also in Lafourche Parish (Cut Off, Larose, Galliano). In fact, my Aunt that is cruising with my DD and myself lives in Galliano.

And while I also love going to WDW, you are right about needing a vacation from the vacation.....the cruise is so much more relaxing.

We were on Castaway Cay and DD2 needed a nap in the worst way. The only open chairs nearby were in direct sun. However, there were several chairs under an umbrella nearby that were holding snorkels. I moved the snorkels all onto one chair and sat down with my toddler. I didn't see why snorkels should be shaded while we baked in the sun. About 30 minutes later the snorkel owners came by and were thoroughly perplexed about finding us in "their" chair. I pretended to be sleeping with DD while they pulled other chairs up in the sand behind us and whispered about my rudeness.

So let me understand this. You saw reserved seats and took them. I have been on CC over 12 times. ALMOST EVERY CHAIR HAS AN UMBRELLA!!! You were too lazy to get a good spot early and you took someone elses, AND YOUR PROUD OF IT???

This isnt the ship where people save chairs for hours at a time. If you had taken my seat and your child was still sleeping, I could guarantee he/she would have been, when I got back.

Your attitude is why people from NY get bad reputations.

Ouch Steve---buzz kill man.

No kidding.

I LOVE NEW YORKERS!

"I could guarantee he/she would have been, when I got back." Let me guess, swimming with Nemo & Bruce the Shark?

"I could guarantee he/she would have been, when I got back." Let me guess, swimming with Nemo & Bruce the Shark?

I think he meant "wouldn't have been" - as in he'd wake a sleeping child.

And he thinks New Yorkers are a problem?!

Pretty sure this is a confessions thread is it not???

Those who want to hate may go to any one of the numerous other threads on this forum and make themselves feel better by putting others down over there.

I wonder if I could pay a kid on my cruise to deliver the FE gifts?

I like putting them together to give out and I like checking the pockets to see what we got but I'm not a big fan of having to run around the ship delivering them.

I will gladly volunteer my kid... She loves running around delivering fe gifts....

 

[babyt]

Okay, I am not a crazy person or heavy drinker. But . . . one night we got three wavephone pages from the kids club between 12:55-1:05 saying they were closing soon . . . . they were closing . . . they were closed . . . we were rushing to get there, and then on top of feeling horrible that we were late I tripped on the way there because the boat was rocking and I had really big heals on (and then a there were the few cocktails that probably contributed). We got there at 1:06, but I felt terrible that we were late (even though we were definitely not the last people). Needless to say we never stayed to the end of the night in the bar district again!

I would have dropped a silent but deadly fart in the line just for her...

I LOVE this!!! Laughed so hard reading this just now!

This thread has been great! Thanks for the laughs.

My confession.... I cruised DCL without my husband or kids back in February. My best friend and her husband went and I roomed with a family member. It was so freeing to not have anyone to worry about. I told the kids I had a meeting put of town, but they knew I went on a cruise when I came back with DCL gifts.

Next year, DH and I are going to cruise the Med without the kids. We are calling it a long overdue honeymoon. We have not decided what we will tell the kids this time. Might just tell them we are going to Europe and leave off the DCL part until we get back.

Hi...I have relatives in Gonzales. We live in St. Tammany Parish. Going on the Fantasy this October.

We stock up on the big movie sized candy my kids can eat (see allergies) on shore at target for a dollar and bring that to the nightly shows rather than standing there reading ingredients (too much work while I'm on vacation) then paying a bazillion dollars (too cheap to do this when DD will eat one then ask why they don't taste like regular sour patch kids) for the snacks at preludes.

Cool, we always have a candy bowl in our stateroom, along with a bottle of vodka......oh and DH always wears shorts to dinner, even if I do not approve lol

We should be roomies sometime I'd totally do this. My kids are so busy now, hubby busy, dog, college, high school..... I smell a new thread/idea/meets

On our European cruise I would always wake up earlier than DH. My morning routine became that I was silently leave the room, and go to Cove Cafe for my cappuccino and croissant. I would then walk around the deck until it was time to go to, around 7:30 am, what came to be known to myself, and DH as the Triple P Ranch outside of Palo. You finish the alliteration Private ______ Palace (all that marble! and real towels!). At that time of day it was the cleanest, quietest place on the ship. On the last morning of the cruise I was a bit miffed that I wasn't the first one there for once.
