    This is the goofiness of these tipping threads. There was one a while back where someone essentially questioned the "morality" of locking in the existing DSC shortly before an increase was implemented...

    What a convincing argument against reducing waste.
  3. billslowsky
    Based on prior cruise results. If people wasted less, they could serve less.

    You do know that if people in the WJ did not waste huge amounts of food, the ship would not have to budget for as much instead of blindly charging us all for it.

    They "make our lives easier" because they get paid to do it. Way overstating this insurmountable burden of using $2 bills. You must really believe these people can't manage their own lives without making it as simple as possible. I believe they are capable adults.

    The walk up the hill on your way out is brutal. Seems unending.
  7. billslowsky
    I don't believe that the crew are helpless and unable to cope with such a horrific burden.
  8. billslowsky
    Many crew workers successfully support households thousands of miles away, The "hardship" of $2 bills isn't a major hurdle. Give the crew members some credit, they aren't helpless waifs.

    You don't know how it will affect future pricing, but it won't add to future increases.

    As someone who has never ordered multiple entrees, nevermind 6-10 lobster tails, I am pleased that I won't continue to subsidize those who do as much as before. That doesn't mean I blindly defend anything.

    One can do both.

    Like when people bring homemade trinkets as a "personal" gift...

    Okay, sure.

    People do the same thing with bartenders, then post about "generous pours" and "my drink is always ready". Same thing.

    Good for you! I have seen hit multiple times.
  17. billslowsky
    Not true, I've seen the staff chew people out.
  18. billslowsky
    Yeah, if you try to fill a bottle directly from the source you'll cause a ruckus. Not allowed.

    "lemon"-ade in the windjammer. Bring something like kool-aid or mio or crystal light.

    It beats the heck out of not traveling.

    They do at the "tier recognition" events where officers give some kinds of talks and answer questions/.
  23. billslowsky
    I go for the free drinks. I couldn't tell you what they actually talk about.
  24. billslowsky
    It was my son's wedding. No one cared. I know that.
  25. billslowsky
    I've experienced that. No one cared.
