[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went on a cruise to Alaska on Holland America maybe 25 years ago. I don’t remember the food or the entertainment specifically, but I do remember having so much fun with my extended family—grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

And remember seeing otters.

[b]My point being, ten years from now, none of you will remember the microwaved frozen chicken cordon bleu you had for dinner one night, or the silly 30-minute musical production you watched on night 3. But your family will remember you acted like a stuck up snot the entire time.[/b][/quote]

Best perspective on this thread.  I did a vacation I wasn’t interested in- Gatlinburg, TN.  I didn’t love the crowds and the kitsch, but the memories of hanging with my parents, sister, and nephews are cherished.  [/quote]

Wrong.  The attention on my SIL is not the issue- she admits to screwing this up and she hated it as well.  We could all afford better and these vacations matter.  This kind of vacation requires being really careful and getting very trusted opinions ([b]if I had researched cruises here[/b] for example I would've called the whole thing off and it would've saved us all alot of pain).  I'm glad some of you can go on vacation and not care and eat chicken cordon bleu or whatever else.  But I can't.  Our time away is precious, Alaska is far and we wanted to make it count- I'm sharing what I perceive our mistakes.  [/quote]

But you DIDN’T.

If you didn’t do your homework, you forfeit your right to complain.

Besides, as an adult you should know by now that the only good complaining does is to make the trip a nightmare for everyone involved. Do you dislike your SIL that much that you’d ruin your precious vacation AND your own image in one trip?[/quote]

This right here.  Don’t complain or keep it to yourself if you didn’t lift a finger to help research and book this trip.

OP from her initial post and her subsequent responses here sounds like an entitled, spoiled child. [/quote]
