SO's uncle is getting married on a cruise and we're leaving tomorrow and i am d r e a d i n g it

from what i can tell most of what there is to do is just....spend more money. literally their website is bragging about all the shopping you can do on the ship

also i have literally no clue what to wear for a cruise wedding and neither does anyone else in the family apparently because nobody will give me a straight answer

anyway i'm probably just gonna alternate sitting at the bar and somewhere with a view of the ocean and read for 3 days so like there are definitely worse things. i'm just really frustrated that we're spending so much time and money on a vacation that we didn't plan and would never have chosen for ourselves :-/

wedding venting Afficher plus

also genuinely still pissed that this is *during the week* like obviously i'm not gonna be shitty about it in front of people but this is leaving me with almost no vacation hours left

idk my SO's family is rich and i feel like this whole wedding is just such a stark example of how different their mindset is from what i'm used to

@ebeth Have only ever been on one cruise (to Alaska, on Holland America, a lot of years ago) but FWIW...there should be a lot more to do than shopping. Most of the big ships seem to have gyms, spas, libraries, and theatres (both movie and live shows). And the one I was on, there were lectures about where we were going--cultural, wildlife, and the like.

@auntiekiki
lectures would be good! i think Alaska is probably more interesting than Florida to me but i could still go for that

movies and shows and everything are fine, definitely better than shopping but it's also stuff i can do anywhere, any time. i guess i just don't really see the point of going on a cruise for it

idk i'm sure i'll find ways to entertain myself, just also venting b/c i'm putting in way more time&money than is usual for attending a wedding&it might be the only trip we get if i can't manage to shift my schedule for the stuff *I* want to do&that kind of sucks

@ebeth Oh yeah, I totally get the venting! I'd be peeved too, not really having a choice. Especially with the loss of vacation time and the rest.
