Here is the ultimate cruise review

________________________________________________________

! Hi: - just got back from a wonderful transatlantic cruise on the Titanic.

After seeing a lot of negative comments from those who really don’t belong on a cruise or these boards, and all the whining about 1,500 people who didn’t make it back alive, I felt I needed to set the record straight on what a great cruising experience for those of us who know how to “make lemonade when life gives you lemons†and “not let one or two negative experiences ruin a cruiseâ€. I mean – things happen at sea – if you can’t deal with that then don’t cruise.

First off, the entertainment was fabulous!!!! The band continued to play even as the ship slid beneath the waves. A lot of folks on deck were so busy whining and complaining about the lack of lifeboats that they probably didn’t even get a chance to enjoy the music. If only some people would just relax and not expect so much. Besides anyone who came onboard could clearly see there weren’t enough lifeboats so why act surprised when it is obvious that only a third of the passengers can survive? My DH and I chose to be more positive about it and done had done our research prior to the cruise. Those folks in steerage class should have read their cruise contract more closely – they would have that there’s no guarantee about lifeboats. Of course, DH and I were cruising in CC. so we had priority lifeboat tickets. While some people chose not to have a good time on the cruise, we – being far superior to those who expect that their ship will NEVER sink – decided that any cruise is better than none at all, no matter what happens! It was the ultimate “at sea day!!†Thanks to our positive attitude and the ability to “roll with punches†we turned what could have been a negative experience into a positive one. I did notice that the original postings on this cruise were very negative, so let me give you some of the positives so it all balances out:

· While sitting in the lifeboats we were treated to a free fireworks display as the Titanic sent up rockets to alert nearby ships that we were sinking!

· The blankets on the life boats were soft and fluffy!!

· We got an onboard ship credit as soon as the “Abandon Ship†alarm was sounded and were able to get a couple of drinks and play a round of Texas Hold’em before we had to get in our lifeboats!

· We have a credit for a future cruise on the Lusitania!!

· With the delays in the rescue effort we actually got an additional day at sea – with no additional cost!!

Anyway, I hope I’ve set the record straight. A cruise is what you make it. If you go expecting to be fed, expecting to go to the stated ports and destination, expecting that the engines will work, or expecting anything at all you probably won’t have a good time, and probably aren’t good enough to cruise. But if you go with a no expectations and don’t expect any service, you’ll have a much better time. DH and I choose to be happy no matter what happens to us – or to anyone else for that matter. If any of you other survivors out there have any negative comments to make just remember that two people can go on the same cruise and have two different experiences, but the important thing is to ignore any problems and show contempt for your fellow cruisers who go around saying bad things about X. As I always say, “My Celebrity – Right or Wrong!â€

This great parody was sent to me and the author is unknown. This is a parody seemed to fit, so well, the many folks who worship Celebrity on a popular cruise board and is not meant to demean, in any way, the Titanic tragedy. It will no doubt hit a little too close to home for some of the “regular†Celebrity posters. If you want a copy, better copy and paste it quick, to your word processor – it won’t be here long!
