Pirate’s LIVE Girls’ Trip on the Vista…April 6-14, 2024

[pirate4me2]

Hey hey, Cruise Critic fam! Who’s suffering from cruise withdrawal? Who out there is staring at their countdown clock, willing it to move a little faster? Who’s mouse finger is just itching like crazy to push the button to book another cruise, but their significant other (or pocketbook) won’t let them? Side note: in that particular case, ditch that significant other, they OBVIOUSLY don’t get how important cruises are to your mental health and don’t want what’s best for you. And if the pocketbook is the problem, dude (or dudette) that is what credit cards are for….book the cruise. Wait, just kidding, don’t follow that last piece of advice. That’s terrible, I should be ashamed, I work in finance for goodness sakes! Let’s skip the advice-giving and get on with this….this….whatever the heck you want to call this. A hot mess, that’s what we shall call it.

 

This is yet another mother/daughter cruise (yes, I KNOW Mom and I just took a cruise together 20 days before this one, and yes, I KNOW I should feel ashamed at leaving Chris (my DH) behind yet AGAIN, but guess what….I don’t care, and I don’t feel guilty!) but this time we are throwing in a THIRD person to spice up the fun! Although, for those who followed our most recent review….do we REALLY need to spice it up? I think we need LESS drama! Joining us is a former co-worker of Mom’s and mutual friend, who we shall call B. She has a warped sense of humor like Mom, and drinks like a fish like me (spoiler alert: we have the drink package this time, so WATCH OUT!) so this is gonna be a fun 8 day adventure. B sailed with us once before, back in 2019 and loved cruising and had been asking to go again with us. Now that things are back to normal (what is normal, anyway?) we are finally able to do so!

We'll be following along, and when you get off on the 14th, we'll be getting on for 14 days. Keep her in good shape for us! 😄

A live review for a cruise I'll actually be on!  It's going to be a great trip!  Maybe I'll see you around the ship (although I have no idea what you look like lol).

[pe4all]

Loved your last review - looking forward to this one!

So sad we miss sailing with you guys! I will try and keep her in good shape, but on a girls' cruise, I make no guarantees!

Ditto - word for word! Although I do wish Pirate had waited a few days to cruise with us! 😍

Whoo hoo!! See you onboard, most likely at a bar! 😂 My haunt is usually Alchemy, altho with Mom and B along that may not be the case this time.

I also have the Cheers package (whoop whoop!) so if I'm not in the Havana area, you'll likely catch me at a bar too. 😂  I can't wait for this trip!

I'm along for this one, too, although I'm cruising on the 9th so I may be catching up later! 😁🥂 Have fun.

Hey, I (well, me and my girls) are in the Havana too! I'll be the one drinking Cuban iced teas made with Diet Pepsi (so I feel less guilty).

Delish and dangerous.....oh my. I discovered them on the last cruise on the evening that my mama came searching for me in her PJs. When i went to stand up I realized just how strong they are!

[Tobleronebar]

Thanks for letting us follow along! We are cruising on her in a few hundred days in the Havana area.

Oh awesome!  I'm sure we'll see each other, even though we may not know who the other is. 😂  I might try that Cuban iced tea.  Or maybe I should just stay in my lane with the Daiquiri Clasico lol.

@pirate4me2 loved the sign on the intro. Hoping for less drama and just as much or more fun for you, your mom, and B.
