    in What Ever Happened To........???

    Posted

    Wow! I'm astonished. I didn't even realize all this was going on at the time. Three of my girlfriends and I went on the Oceanic in June of 82 I believe it was. Of course we were all enamoured the the gorgeous crew and made friends with alot of them (have no idea what their names were). Also made friends with alot of the passengers and had a blast. But when we got off the ship, that was it. Didn't continue any relationships. You guys must have really been in love to have gone through all that to see your men! A few years later also sailed on the Oceanic on my honeymoon and also had a fantastic time (although I have to say the service was much better when we were 4 single girls:D). In November we will be sailing on the Legend for our 25th Anniversary. It's not Home Lines, I know, but oh well:(.

     

    One funny story I have was that my ex-boyfriend was going on the Oceanic with his friends and we all went to the bon voyage party (those were the good ol days). Well, it was time to leave the ship and there we are standing at the dock (parents of the guys going, girlfriends, friends, brothers, sisters) and we're waving and the ship's pulling away from the dock. The guys are waving back to us and all of a sudden we see one of the guys' sister and her friend (not booked on the cruise) standing there with them waving back at us:eek:. We couldn't believe our eyes but it was already too late. The Oceanic had their first stowaways:p. Apparently the girls got scared, turned themselves in and had to stay confined to a room until they got to Bermuda and then they had to fly home. Unbelievable.

     

    My ex going on that cruise was pretty much the end for us. While he was on the Oceanic, I was spending the week in Belmar with my now husband:D

     

    Funny how things work out. I guess that's why I wanted to go on the Oceanic for my honeymoon as they inadvertently had a hand in bringing me and my honey of 25 years together:)
