Yup and because of that, there is NO ceiling to happiness. Included gratuities no longer have any meaning, no matter how many times they are raised. Greasing the palm or envelopes are expected...can't escape it.
the tipping issue had gotten out of control...
we now feel, no matter that we do the included grat, give extra at the end, it is NEVER enough, we always feel someone gave more and they are disappointed...
to always feel it is not enough is very unsatisfying...
we thought the included grat would be a good idea, then we just dont have to deal with the envelopes and not have to think about it anymore...nope it is the same old issue..envelopes and still feeling it is not enough....
anyone else feel like that?
Yes a number of cruise lines are cancelling Morocco.
No idea if something else can be substituted, will probably be a sea day.
No need to sail into any port that may pose any kind of threat. Of course that could eliminate so many locations that cruising may become just that.
Good to see you Feta..
We will be on the Marina, TA, in November.
In Morocco, Casablanca, we have a 4 hour ships tour, which includes the market.
We have been to Casablanca before and loved it, especially the market. Now with what is going on in the world, I am somewhat more nervous, especially the market.
Hey, hope to see you on another O cruise. We only do O now.
It's not the distance from Morocco to Israel that's important , but Morocco to the nearest possible supporter, turkey? North Africa? But then there is unrest in much of Europe as well.
O in their wisdom I'm sure will do what is necessary to keep passengers safe.
O may cancel the port. But if not, would anyone hesitate doing a ships tour in Casablanca...including the market?
There are state department warnings but nothing specific yet.
We have been before and would very much like to stop again. Will see what everyone says.
We will be in London, Heathrow. Any advice how to get to Southampton, bus, train, private car? Will stay two nights, then Uber to pier.
Any advice is appreciated.
