Dad can’t do stairs, so several times a day he has a new audience to complain to about how “this ship’s elevators are too slow, but that’s on every ship.” 25 yrs of cruises, and it’s not just a simple expectation one must adjust, but a complete and constant failure of an industry.

Just thinking about how people say hi to others in passing on the cruise ship compared to say an actual small town with the same population.

It’s like The Truman Show on a cruise ship. Exaggerated tones and so many chuckles.

As a SAHM mom of 3, on an inter generational family cruise vacation, I’m telling strangers I meet that I’m on a work trip. #nolies #royalcaribbean #sahm #travel

“I like to announce that people can get onto the elevator first, to relieve their anxiety.”

Me: Their anxiety?

Not many people know this, but any drink that is not a whiskey and 7 or a beer is a “foufou” drink and you must say, “It’s a foufou drink, needs an umbrella.” With your pinkie up. Can only be enjoyed ironically while admitting “it’s not usually my thing.”

Cruise ship formal night. I want to tastefully do my husband’s #makeup. See how that goes for my #boomerdad.

Just thinking about how the extremely distant parenting of #thegreatestgeneration pulled the pendulum back so it swung to #noboundaries smother of the #boomers to us. Maybe our children will get both the big displays of affection and the attunement. #generationalprogress #babysteps

Spoiling of the grandkids has leveled up. He ordered my 11yo a smartwatch from the pool bar. It was that or a phone. (No, he can’t be told no. Boundaries comes with a price, and the ROI is 📉.) + $20/mos on our phone plan now. Never mind I’m trying to make my kids 90s era luddites. #travel #luddites

Tradition: Each day on the annual family trip, Dad knocks on the door of our room with “An Extra” cup of coffee, just one for the two of us, sloshing out the sides of the cups while he offers it. Note: we can’t call him out for being thoughtful, if not oddly timed and impractical, because feelings.

On a cruise with my quirky dad, ny spouse, and my 3 kids. Last night, with complete sincerity he told us aliens probably built the pyramids. #travel
