[quote=Anonymous] I'm an only child to anxious 70 year olds too. My mother was so incredibly controlling and smothering that I left my home country to live in the USA, and got her used to only ONE weekly call! Woohoo! So now there is no problem when we travel, except that I do have to communicate upon our arrival, as she gets panicky when we travel. If I were you, I'd tell them you're going on vacation, and won't be able to communicate at all. Give them all the trip details, emergency numbers, etc, so they can check for themselves that nothing has gone wrong with the ship. And if you get some sort of wifi at some point during your cruise, you can surprise them by a little email with photos! They'll be delighted. But don't tell them in advance. The first break is always the most painful, OP. After that, it's easier. You've got to start somewhere. [/quote]
