Thought I'd rekindle this great thread with my romantic story :-)
I met my mahal nearly 2 years ago now onboard the cruise ship ms Rotterdam. She was a Physio/Fitness instructor onboard and I was sailing as Sr Navigator. I saw her a few times in the bar, and it was love at first sight from my part. So to get her interest I decided to enrol on fitness training with her, and eventually managed to persuade her to come out with me. Our first date was to a theme park in Copenhagen where she was full of confidence that she could handle anything (having been to Enchanted Kingdom in Manila), but after the first roller coaster spent the next hour clinging onto me, shaking. Things just continued from there, and now we seem to be spending a lot of time flying back and forth between England and Philippines :-)
She has since forced me to give up cruise ships, for a more sedate life on quieter ships :-(
Now hoping that we'll be married in the next 12 months and settle down in England :-)
Oh yes, I took her on Europes biggest roller coaster in Blackpool this year, and no she has given up rollercoasters for life hehe.
