Can a Cruise Director actually make a cruise better ?
DarrenM replied to lenquixote66's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
The fella on celebrity beyond fancies himself as some sort of Latin american dancer(sorry my dancing knowledge is nil) Every opportunity he got he pranced about doing his weird walks etc. Seriously irritating. Have I mentioned that? -

DarrenM replied to lenquixote66's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
depends on what you want I suppose. They irritate me immensely. They are more than a little responsible for the forced fun they try to get everyone to get involved in. And they seem eternally happy and energetic. Irritating in other words. -
Where have you encountered the worst casino smoke?
DarrenM replied to KKB's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
So what? These hopelessly commited smokers cant smoke inside in 99.9% of places and they survive ok. Why should they be allowed to smoke inside a cuise ship? I wonder how many cruise lines would allow this once a non smoker sues after contracting cancer through passive smoking. I would at least send them my cleaning bill to rid ther clothes of the awful smell. -

isnt it just ridiculous that anywhere in 2023 allows smoking at all inside any room/buiding etc? -
What was your favorite overnight port?

Good point well put.

Just come off beyond, and whilst on the cruise booked to go on constellation next May. Beyond is great, but we were on reflection last year and there is just something about the smaller older ships. Could be the balconies against the infinite verandas. Can't really explain it.

Ah. Now a sticky wicket is to do with the dampness of the pitch. The balm sticks a little amd slows it down making it more difficult for the batter. So lunch and tea. In a 5 day match between two countries, called a test match. Each day is split into three 2 hour sessions. Morning afternoon and evening Lunch is take at 1pm for 40 minutes. Tea is taken at 3.40pm for 20 minutes. Unless there has been rain. Then lunch or tea might be later, but if there is no play in the morning but the weather is improving, they might take an early lunch, to help the pitch dry out and play a longer afternoon session. If it rains around lunch ot tea, they sometimes take an extended lunch or tea break. But no matter how much play has been lost, lunch and tea will always be there. It's the law.

Do they not like adventure?

being from the UK i find it strange that people cruise round it. For a number of reasons. You could drive across the whole of the UK, so much quicker than cruising round it, and see so much more. Its bloody cold, nearly all the time, and wet. You certainly wont see the best of the UK on a cruise. I would imagine the same could be said about Ireland. Dublin is fabulous, but its much better at night, aand by this time I would imagine those on cruises would have departed.

Meds to take on a cruise, if you get Covid
DarrenM replied to SAKay's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
On a side note I thonk I have covid now. Really bad cough. Left Celebrity beyond last friday. There was a lot of coughing people on teh ship, and about 7 days in they suddenly had people at the hand wash stations demanding people wash their hands prior to entering the Buffet. ( Yes, there are people that dont wash their hands) It just seemed peculiar that they started doing this a week in. or did they klnow sometihing? If I do have covid it will be for the 3rd time -
Never saw signs like this on Celebrity beyond last week. What ship was this?

cricket is easy to understand: You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

Favourite place ever visited whilst cruising?

You are quite correct. Humans have been cruel to animals for centuries -
