dazed10521 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 My friend & I have booked a cruise for April. Now its March and we are not getting along too well. Any advice on what to do? It would cost way to much money for us to cancel. We're going to be sharing a small cabin. Thanks :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenUK Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Thats a tough one!!! :huh: theres really only a few options, you either cancel and put up with the loss (not my first choice!) wait and hope that you 2 have sorted your current differences out or at least can put up with each other whilst on holiday (you never know it might make you best mates again) or see if the travel company will allow 1 of the names on the tickets to be changed if you can find someone to buy the other passenger out? it really depends on how much your relationship has deteriorated since booking the holiday :undecided: Good luck with whatever happens and I hope you still get to go and have a great time.

dazed10521 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I should mention (we are 2 females) - friends??? Well, begin by saying I was the first x-wife, and the is the 2nd x-wife. And yes, he's married for the 3rd time. It has always been a strange friend-ship..........In the beginning I really felt sorry for her (since I'd been married to the same guy myself) -oh & she was the other woman! Thought I should mention that. But I've always felt that she actually did me a favor. Anway, when she opted to get out of their marriage she felt the only way was suicide. Ok ---- when she started calling and coming by to visit, I really felt like I could help her self esteem............... She really does not have any friends. And going on a cruise sounded like fun! Now, everything has become a competion.........I started dieting back in Dec. and lost maybe 15-17 #'s------------so she did the same thing - and of course she said she did not need to loose any weight (that she's a size 8) When pigs fly is she a size 8 - more like a 12-14 & I'm a size 14-16! She wants to see pictures of all my clothes I bought for the cruise (we don't live in the same town, anymore) She has had hair cut and colored the same as mine..........I feel like Identity Theft is happening............ As much as I need this vacation.......(I work 2 full time jobs) - I'm started to dread it too! Please advise...........I don't want to cancel.......I don't want to have a big blow up either.......and I don't want to say something to set her back to where she is popping pills to escape reality. But she is starting to effect my self esteem. Maybe I helped her self esteem, too much. There's no such thing as a Bad Cruise???? Well, my decision is to make the best of it...........I'm spent way to much money to back out now.......I am afraid of her making a scene on the ship.........she is much the complainer! and does not mind embarassing anyone. Sry this is so long - its that fight/flight stressor, coping thing going on in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithnRita Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 That is a very interesting story about an interesting relationship. It could probably be made into a TV movie. If what you say is true, than you should be commended for being a friend to your ex's ex! We will keep our fingers crossed that the two of you will be able to work it out and take your cruise for some R & R, and for some fun!

Lilxxmissyxx Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 You know, cruise ships are pretty big, it's not too hard to avoid someone on a cruise ship...lol....i know, maybe not nice, but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reds31258 Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Check with your travel agent. We are booked on RCCL for June and asked about changing one of the parties in the event of some type of emergency and we were told that we could change one of the people up to 48 hours in advance of the trip and there would not be a charge. Can't hurt to ask the question! Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njseawee Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I was going through some past forums and wondered--what ever happened with the two of you? Are you still going on with the cruise...are you friends again? I see you've posted some other questions, so it looks like you're still going. Hope things are going well!

hazelson Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I'm with Keith and Rita - First the book - then the movie - with all that money you should be able to book a suite each :o) You could also wait for Mr. Wonderful to ditch #3 and take him along - JUST JOKING!!! I would be more concerned about someone copying me - wasn't there a movie like that a while back - kind of scary - "Single White Female" Good luck and let us know what is happening - enquiring minds want to know! lol.

dazed10521 Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yep- we're still going! We had a heart to heart looooonnng talk. Pretty much told her everything I said in the previous stuff. I had decided I was going solo. Well, she has apologized and says her shrink told her the same stuff I told her. How bout that.........but don't think for 1 min - I think she's changed. I just l know she wants to go on the cruise and not loose any of her money. But I'm bring duct tape and chains.............LOL Might need to use the duct tape for something other than a suitcase that came undone!!! LOL Wish me luck. Thanks all :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
