DougMJr Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 That story makes me sick... And that cabin steward should sue the "mother" of the dead newborn, that has to be very traumatizing. I know she didn't tell anyone, but do cruise ships have protocols for if a woman goes into labor? IMO you should hold off until you had the baby before you take your cruise.

larrygator Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 ^^Just remember if you hate it, you can't swear off all cruises, you still have to go with us at some point! OK, deal. Key words "at some point". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 A cruise with TPR is such an amazing thing. I'd been on two cruises previously, and had a blast, but they were nothing compared to the TPR cruise. Definitely worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO you should hold off until you had the baby before you take your cruise. If I recall correctly, the cruise lines prohibit women from cruising past a certain point in pregnancy - I want to say 24 weeks. Also, babies have to be a certain age - I believe it's 4 months, before they are allowed. My older daughter was 5 1/2 months old, on our first DCL cruise.

BeemerBoy Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 If I recall correctly, It's so refreshing to see someone actually type that out. Thanks, Maureen!

ahecht Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 ^Sounds like someone found a great excuse to get his company to pay for a cruise. I can't believe that "Someone went missing on this ship 8 months ago, so I need to go on a week-long cruise to 'investigate'" actually worked with his editors.

larrygator Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) I see nothing wrong with some investigative reporting bringing to light an issue like this. Edited November 13, 2011 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosscoe Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I agree 100 per cent with Larry on this, some of the cover ups are disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I see nothing wrong with some investigative reporting bringing to light an issue like this. Neither do I, but I don't see any investigative reporting in that article that required a week-long cruise. Most of the info in there is stuff you could get from cruisecritic or any of the various CM testimonials that have been posted online. If he really needed first-hand interviews with current DCL CMs, he could've just hung out by the pay phones at the port. Besides, the main interview in that article was a CM that the family put her in touch with, not someone he met on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) ^Fair enough, but Jon Ronson is actually pretty famous in the UK, he probably didn't "need" to beg or con anyone for a free cruise.

BBparks57 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I have been on a few over the last few years, but I just got off the Oasis and it was awesome. The ship was fantastic and I hope to get on it again sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Saw this over on a cruise enthusiast message board and thought it was pretty funny. Apparently one of the Carnival ships just out of dry dock for some upgrades (including the Guy Fieri crap) has a ton of things misspelled all over! This was just one example! Oh Carnival!

Hotlanta Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Question to RCL enthusiasts as a first time cruiser: Where do you find the salad better than normal sex? Is it the main dining room? I think this has to be most anticipated plate of food ever for me. Can't wait for the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Question to RCL enthusiasts as a first time cruiser: Where do you find the salad better than normal sex? Is it the main dining room? I think this has to be most anticipated plate of food ever for me. Can't wait for the 3rd. It is an amazing salad! Each ship does it a little differently but it is generally in the main dining room lunch on sea days. Enjoy and make sure you give us a full trip report when you get back!

SharkTums Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Just got back from a fabulous cruise on the Jewel of the Seas! It was the smallest ship we've sailed on in about 7-8 years, but was still a ton of fun and got us really excited for the new class of ships Royal Caribbean is building as they're supposed to be bigger versions of this ship!

Jew Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 ^^Those "project sunshine" ships are supposed to be 158,000 gross tonnage ships. Judging from your pictures, a freedom class size version of those should be really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreativeForce Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just booked a Mediterranean cruise on Royal Caribbean! It's on the Liberty of the Seas, so it's the biggest ship we've sailed on so far. Looking forward to finally trying a flowrider on board a ship!

Looking forward to finally trying a flowrider on board a ship! And hey, the Med is a great place to cruise, especially if you are in to "culture stuff". What are your ports of call? We did a 2 week Med cruise last April on the Mariner and it was one of the best vacations of my life! Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Israel. Amazing.
