Gregswife

Carnival always leaves pins in the stateroom, featuring the red, white and blue fantail and the name of the ship. I have never worn one of them. In fact, none of them have been removed from the cards except for one that Greg put on one of his hats that has pins from all over on it...

Rose, wishing you and Cynthia a wonderful mother/daughter cruise. May it be your best one yet...

JimG, Bon Voyage and happy sailing....

PatG, ope you have a marvelous cruise.

Carmen, wishing you calm seas, blue skies and a wonderful trip and a very happy birthday.

I make myself sick eating non-stop but that is about it....

I have no iea how I missed this thread the last couple of years. We set sail, on our first cruise, from Cape Canaveral on July 2, 1995. We sailed on the Carnival Fantasy to the Bahamas. Our first 3 cruises were Greg, I and our 2 sons. That next 8 were just my sweetie and I. As much as I do love sharing that special time with him, I do miss the days when the kids went with us, but at 26 and 27, I can't really force them to (if I could, I would!!!).

Greg does all his own packing, but Jackie is right. I pick out and buy all of Greg's clothes and he always looks very GQ. He normally takes his tux for formal nights and takes 2 different sets of cumberbund and ties. If he doesn't take his tux and goes with a suit, he takes 2 shirts and 2 ties.

Cheryl, wishing you, Wayne and Lacey a wonderful and relaxing cruise. I started to call you today but then decided to wait until tomorrow - I forgot you were leaving, so I guess I will talk to you when you get back. I need my "accent" fix and don't even think about saying you don't have one!!!

Deb, the pic with the cruise ship is postcard perfect. We have been to the keys but not in quite some time, I think it has been 8 or 9 years. Our next cruise, Key West is the first port. I wasn't too excited about having a U.S. port, but it was the only thing sailing out of Galveston that would take us to the Bahamas. After seeing those pics, I am looking forward to visitng Key West again...

Larry, we had our ports changed a few years back on a Carnival cruise but it was due to possible impending weather, so not sure the same rules would apply. However, we were told that the cruiseline does reserve the right to alter the course of the ship at it's discretion, so you should read up on Princess'es policy on that.

I just saw this thread for the first time, so here's my answer(s)... I do agree that it is the best bang for your buck I love the ocean When we vacation in the U.S., seems that Greg's office is constantly calling him and sending him emails. Even though it is possible for them to reach him on the ship, they have never done so and I highly doubt that he even has told them that they could reach him if necessary. He did receive a couple of cell phones call last cruise, but after the first one, he turned his phone off and did not return the calls until we were back in the home port...
