I hate to break it to you, but I'm a Realtor in Florida and there's not much real estate left! However, since I'm SURE that the fact that so many cruisers want to live here has something to do with that, maybe we can use that in our law suit! ;)

And the property left in Florida costs an arm and a leg. We luckily moved here two years ago when it only cost an arm!!!

 

I'm also going to join the suit as one who hasn't cruised yet, but deposit has been paid and passport is now in hand. A friend told me the planning is just as much fun as the cruise. And it sure has been. I just can't wait to actually board the ship.:D :rolleyes: :)

I'll join this class action suit, I've been open about my cruise addiction for years. I don't think it's only RCI's fault, though, I would have to include a few other cruiselines.

 

I, too, have the pics to prove it. We'd need a judge that has cruised many times, though. A judge who has never been on a cruise would not understand. And if it is a jury trial, the jury members have to have been on, or at least are booked on at least 5 cruises. Or, even one.

Hi. My name is Brigid and I'm obsessed with cruising!!! :p

- I've trained my DH to "turn-down" the bed before retiring.

- I quit my job just to plan our own cruises. 2006 & 2007 already booked and 2008 & 2009 in late planning stages.

- We're going to continue to rent (and not buy a home) so I can save the money for cruising!

 

Please add me to the class action suit...

Brigid-

 

It all began in 1977 on the Costa "Flavia".. :D

I fear that RCCL may already be exacting their revenge. There are so many new "addicts" (RCCL PLants) joining that by the time we split the booty we may only have enough left per capita to purchase a small Princess ship. I feel that we should limit the numbers to those most deserving and have a democratic vote after, say, 7 days as to who should share the spoils. The most heart-rending cases will be given precedence along with anyone over the age of 132 (they'll probably be on Celebrity anyway).

To this end, I propose that we ask a simple question of any new member which requires the correct response.

 

The question should be- "Which vegetable makes your eyes water?" If the answer is "onion" the candidate shall be excluded as the correct answer is "turnip" (just ask any gentleman who has been hit in the groin area by a turnip!)

Boy am I glad I found all of you. I am not the only one. There are others just like me! I was so afraid to admit how I felt, thinking I would be an outcast.

I wake up wanting and needing to check out the CC boards before anything else! I keep looking for the best deals everyday. I can not stop. My life centers around cruising, cruising, cruising.

All of you also seem to "get it". 11_4_125v.gif [/url] There are many more like us in the WGIG. If you would like to invest the settlement 7_15_5v.gifinto the MOS, there will be plenty of room for everyone! Come check us out.

According to the policy offered, you may have a case.

 

Please note the following:

 

Cruiser’s Contract

 

Article I – Scope of Coverage

 

This agreement is to indemnify the Cruiser, YOU, in respect to the total cruise experience as defined in the Article entitled "Cruise Lines." This accrues to the Cruiser’s favor in the wake of any pleasures which may occur before, during or after the cruise experience and/or testimonials which may be made in reference to same which may be discovered during the term of this Agreement under any policies covering cruises which are in force at the inception of the Agreement, or are written or renewed by or on behalf of the Cruisee, the Cruise Company, during the voyage of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions herein contained.

 

This agreement also indemnifies the Cruiser, YOU, in respect to any personal visit to a travel agency when the Cruiser deliberately requests a cruise brochure when it is clearly obvious your bank account does not even allow the Cruiser to purchase any nautical experience (i.e. a ticket on the Staten Island Ferry) or browsing the internet and setting up pseudo reservations for accommodations on cruise lines for imagination (no Carnival trademark infringement) purposes.

It is so sad. Not only am I addicted, but I have brought my friends into the fold! The list is growing exponentially! We have gone past the label of Cruiseaholics. . . we are known as Sea Sluts! The sea has lured us! We have succommed! We have no pride! We have no self control when it comes to cruising! We CANNOT quit!
My offspring call me the Cruise Critic Whore. :D

Our case is building nicely. Now we have slander and defamation caused by RCCL to add to the charges. Sea Sluts should be wary of our Japanese cruising friends as they regard them as a delicacy...............actually cancel that. Apparently it's Sea Slugs which they consume..........please keep me on the right track as I can't afford to let us down with mistakes like this at the Supreme Court.

I am also an addict. I have entered the cycle...I work more hours so I can go on longer cruises, so I can come home refreshed, to work more hours, so I can book another cruise. I am so glad there are others out there like me, I am not alone and this! Count me in on the lawsuit!

Yours is a classic case. Eventually the world will end up like a beehive with RCCL as the fat queen. We need to act quickly and we need a plan . I would therefore appeal to every addict to watch re-runs of Blade Runner and The Great Escape for inspiration.

Hi all,

 

Just won our case against RCI and have settled out-of-court. Due to an arcane and little-known Scottish law, I've been awarded three RCI ships of my choice. I have chosen the Legend, the Brilliance (naturally!) and the soon-to-be-completed Mustard. The only caveat in the settlement was that we must sail from a port in Switzerland- you're all welcome aboard at any time. Just let me have your reservation details together with any dietary needs.

Hmm, I guess we need to start digging a canal big enough for the Mustard of the Seas. Italy or France will let us put a canal through their country right? Or is it better to go north with the canal. :rolleyes:
