brigantiner Posted March 7, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2012 To the 2 special couples that heckled us as we danced in the Platinum Lounge: Very special to hear your jeers and laughter as I danced with my wife(yes, we knew the dance floor was below)....but it was great to dance with her for the 1st time without her wheelchair or walker.....perhaps you should pass on the drink package next time?

CathyCruises Posted March 7, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2012 So sorry to hear this--why do people think boorish behavior is funny? I say dance where you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom23guys Posted March 7, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Sorry that happened. I was looking for you at the sail away but I didn't stay long. Wanted to say hi neighbor:). There were a few people that seemed to enjoy that drink package too much. I say dance wherever you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed dancing with your wife! Ignore the boors; with or without alcohol, they're still boors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarafinadh Posted March 7, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2012 You KNOW to consider the source.... Just keep on dancing with your lady. Everyone else who saw you two enjoying the music and each other thought it was lovely ; -) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuggers Posted March 7, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I am so sorry you had to put up with such RUDE passengers! Enjoy your dances. It's the little things that make the best memories! If, by chance those rude people read these boards, I want you to know that yes, you did manage to make yourselves the center of attention but I'm not sure it was the kind of attention you were looking for. Unless, of course, you think being called IGNORANT is a compliment. Grow up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We're The Groupnors Posted March 7, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 7, 2012 To the 2 special couples that heckled us as we danced in the Platinum Lounge: Very special to hear your jeers and laughter as I danced with my wife(yes, we knew the dance floor was below)....but it was great to dance with her for the 1st time without her wheelchair or walker.....perhaps you should pass on the drink package next time? As the song says: Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like no-one's watching. Sing like no-one's listening. Live like there's no tomorrow. Fear like a stone. AND To HECK with the hecklers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brigantiner Posted March 8, 2012 Author #11 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thank you for all the great responses. This did not, in any way, diminish our experience. The cruise was the best and the detractors need to go home to themselves....punishment enough! Time to plan the next dance..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepeacha Posted March 8, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Please don't let anyone steal your joy! Take faith in the fact that decent humans TOTALLY outweigh the clods out there.

oldmovieguy Posted March 8, 2012 #15 Share Posted March 8, 2012 And the hecklers would be the first to run and complain if anyone told them to wrap up. We all know the type, cowards to a man, you know who you are. Carry on dancing for many years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travlDR Posted March 8, 2012 #18 Share Posted March 8, 2012 That is just why I am not too certain if I am in favor of the drink packages or not. When they came out, my initial thought was--- well this is going to really "declass" Celebrity-- I am thinking of the abuse potential. Sometimes I think I like the idea, but when I read something like this--- not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrogy Posted March 8, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 8, 2012 My wife and I frequently sit (in-between our own dances) and watch with great admiration and joy all the other couples dancing. I bet there were many more people who enjoyed watching you dance. You just couldn't hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jes28 Posted March 9, 2012 #22 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I was on the cruise right before you, there was no shortage of drunks on board. Most were just plastered and not jerks, kind of fun watching then during the course of the day. Jerks are just jerks, drunk or not Have a nice dance, good for you.

travlDR Posted March 9, 2012 #23 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Well the reason the drink packages even came to mind was that the OP stated--perhaps you should pass on the drink package next time? I do think that with some people, maybe even many people, having the drink package might indeed be a contributing factor to having quite a bit more to drink than they might without it. Don't get me wrong- I enjoy some cocktails, too--- but I don't think having lots of drunks wondering around really adds to the ambiance of the ship. I mean- I love Celebrity- not Carnival. Just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thechats Posted March 9, 2012 #24 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Behavior like this has FAR more to do with upbringing than the availability of drink packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaiidan Posted March 9, 2012 #25 Share Posted March 9, 2012 You sir, are one class act. It gives me goose bumps to contemplate the depth of your love for your bride.
