Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 So all we have to do now is to figure out how we can afford $135 a day. We went on a Princess Cruise last year to Alaska and it was just fantastic. I'm not a "cruising" person - I like holidays that are on the go BUT we loved it and we were on the "go" all the time. We really only went to our room to change, shower and sleep at least a few hours each night. We bought outside cabin rooms thinking we would spend some time on our deck but only did that once when we had a champagne breakfast delivered one morning. But I REALLY recommend Princess Cruises.

I have checked on reservations at Princess and I can get a long term discount and senior discount price of $135 per day. That leaves $65 a day for: 1. Gratuities which will only be $10 per day. 2. I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle to the restaurant, or I can have room service (which means I can have breakfast in bed every day of the week). 3. Princess has as many as three swimming pools, a workout room, and shows every night. 4. They have free toothpaste and razors, and free soap and shampoo. 5. They will even treat you like a customer, not a patient. An extra $5 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help you. 6. I will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days. 7. T.V. broken? Light bulb needs changing? Need to have the mattress replaced? No problem! They will fix everything and apologize for your inconvenience. 8. Clean sheets and towels every day, and you don't even have to ask for them. 9. If you fall in the nursing home and break a hip you are on Medicare. If you fall and break a hip on the Princess ship they will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life. Now hold on for the best! Do you want to see South America, the Panama Canal, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Asia, or name where you want to go? Princess will have a ship ready to go. So don't look for me in a nursing home, just call shore to ship. P.S. And don't forget, when you die, they just dump you over the side at no charge Please visit our website at:http://ACES_Autoimmune.tripod.com Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo! Movies.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 That's easy; just make $75K a year. ;> I don't do boats & ships . . . I don't care how good the stabilizers are, I get seasick. There's few things worse than having paid hundreds of dollars for a trip that you can't enjoy.
