The Bad News

Silly Mexicans and their pigs. Ruined our whole honeymoon. I'm selfish, aren't I? All I can think about is that our trip was ruined--of course, I don't care at all about the sick people. Typical Nikki. But really, it's just a flu. Get a shot and you're on your way to being better. It just seems like everyone has overreacted a bit.

Cruise itinerary due to the Swine Flu:

Day 1: at sea
Day 2: at sea (got all the way down to Cabo...already getting anxious to get off the stupid boat)
Day 3: at sea (Princess decides to turn around and not stop at all in Mexico because of the flu)
Day 4: at sea (find out that we will be stopping in San Diego as one of our ports...me thinking this is not what I paid for)
Day 5: at sea (they stopped in Ensenada for fuel and other crap, but wouldn't let us get off)
Day 6:San Diego (for about 7 hours...what the crap were we supposed to do? we'd already been there lots of times...just walked around and toured old boats)
Day 7: Catalina Island (this is an island, but it doesn't have ANY beaches. that's right: we never got to go to the beach...on our CRUISE!!!)

To top off this fine itinerary, the weather was crap and almost never sunny enough to swim outdoors. I guess that's my fault since I booked the cruise for the end of April, but it just added to the AWEsomeness of the whole week.

Sorry. That definitely sucks. I would have jumped in and swam to Ensenada. It probably won't help, but when Naomi and I went on our honeymoon to Yellowstone, it rained on us like 4 out of the 5 days we were there. Kinda stunk. But then again, we weren't confined to the cabin because of some weird buffalo flu.

Oh man. Sounds just about how our cruise went. We only made it to one port for a few hours. At least it was Jamaica though. We had bad weather and one day the waves were so bad you could barely stand up and with me being already queezy from pregnancy, throwing up happened. Ryan and I have decided that if we ever do a cruise again we would go Mediteranian cause you get to stop at way cool places. And if we ever go tropical we'd rather just stay at some resort where you can swim and shop and not be stuck on a stupid boat for five days with nothing to do but eat and gamble. This is of course if we win the lotto or something.

oh man i am so sorry! I didn't even think about how that would effect your honeymoon! I would have been mad too. Way to go for still having a good time though.

Now, you really should try and get some sort of refund because that isn't at all what you paid for.

seriously, refundage should happen. That is the lamest of the lame. Stupid swine flu fake overreaction pandemic. Lame.
