There are many great coaches in football who could never play the game but they have expert knowledge and experience helping others who do. As long as the advice and expertise is correct, I will live with the physical hypocrisy. My opinion of course. 😄

Well, I think you should take back your statement, "He is high maintenance." His personal water filtration system is first-rate requiring no pre-filters." 😁

Vaping on quantum of the seas

Yes, we have been beaten down to the point where we are critiquing which is worse during MDR, shorts 🙁, swimsuits 😮, or thongs 😲. 🤣 -

You provide excellent examples of disregarded policies that I cannot argue against. They happen. Do not ask me to approve of disregarding those policies. 😉 -

You add to a previous statement that I made in response to this statement. I wonder if we are just being played with. I just signed off on it and let it go. Unless you are going to agree with their viewpoint, your words will not matter. -

No question about your statement regarding the chair rules being violated does not happen on every cruise. Many policies are violated but do not ask me to agree that they should be violated. My problem was the poster trying to have those who abide by the rules agree with them that vaping in a non-smoking area is not a violation of the rules. They can disregard the rules but do not try and convince me the rules SHOULD be broken on purpose or agree that it is ok to break them. -

We will have to agree to disagree. You completely disagree with my point of view and vice-a-versa. This conversation is getting us nowhere. You have your opinion and I have mine. Have a nice day. 🤐 -

So, you admit, there might be long term harmful effects but there is not enough data to confirm their harm. That does not prove they are safe. This sounds exactly like what the tobacco industry did for years until enough people were harmed and they were successfully sued. -

Please do not cherry-pick my words and yes, PASSIVE VAPE is HARMFUL. No, while being LESS harmful it is STILL harmful. Life Insurance companies, especially health insurance companies treat it as smoking.

Almost all vape has nicotine ingredients. Nicotine has been proven to constrict blood vessels and your heart has blood vessels. The constriction creates an environment conducive to plaque buildup which leads to cardiovascular disease.

Norovirus on Brilliance
Engineroom Snipe replied to coaster's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Some good valid points. There are normally multiple bathrooms in a house. You can isolate from others in that way and the atmosphere does not demand that others have close proximity to you. There is a negative pressure exhaust vent over the showers on ship which does help to isolate the odors and moisture in the ship's bathroom (head). Maybe after your first cruise you will get a better handle on how they clean things compared to your expectations. 😁 -
The more I think about it, this might not be feasible. By default, everyone's purchases and packages are deactivated until a crew member from the muster-station reactivated them through their RCI I-Pad. You can immediately see the problem with this for we are involving and counting on RCI IT to create a flawless working program. When the program fails and even those who did go to their muster-stations are still locked out of their accounts we are looking at mass chaos, "Cats and Dogs, sleeping together..." (Ghostbusters). There WILL be a mutiny of passengers requiring the ship to be evacuated at dock or use the lifeboats to escape. One way or another, we are going to the muster-stations. 🤔 "Next person in line with an idea........."

Norovirus on Brilliance

I have not historically wiped or disinfected the room. Everyone has their comfort level. I am a handwasher and sanitation gel type of person but not obsessive about it. I have not gotten sick on board to the best of my knowledge. Different types of foods, especially on vacation, can affect the GI tract but I did not attribute that to any infection. 😌 The system is showing its age. 😉 -
Do not worry, if I see someone holding up their hands at the muster-deck, I will think of how they handled B.A. Baracus (Mr. T, A-Team) and find a way to make you unconscious for the journey. I do need to know how much you weigh and any health issues you might have. I need your weight for the dose and to determine how much dead-weight (pun intended) we will have to handle in order to keep you alive. 😁 Just do not hurt me too much when you wake-up surrounded by 264 people in a floating sardine can. 🤣

Prices for drinks

The amount will be changing every fiscal quarter as RCI needs to show a dividend and debt improvement. 🤣 -
What is the worst balcony on Oasis
Engineroom Snipe replied to grod19's topic in Royal Caribbean International
As the newer ships change to LNG, I hope the soot situations clear themselves on the aft cabins. The last thing I would normally think about is how an expensive aft balcony requires you to wear slippers in order to work around the situation. Happy to see that you had a good overall experience. -
What's going on with Royal Caribbean?
Engineroom Snipe replied to ksuyen's topic in Royal Caribbean International
For me, those moments do not exist. They are just "episodes" of memories that got canceled because of poor ratings. 😒
