Well, that's all I need. They said it and I've listened. I will also pay attention to what other cruise lines have to say. Our cruise history has been limited and perhaps that's it for us. Certainly WILL NOT cruise on Oceania - except for the one we have booked ..
But some of those people are staying in hotels - for multiple nights perhaps, having dinners out, etc. In other words spending more money than cruisers.
Er, Barbie's been wearing flats since 2015 🙂

One thing that helps us is when we're in our cabin, we change into what we jokingly call "lounge wear." Drawstring pants and an oversize tee. Gives us lots more wearings of the 'dress up' clothes.
Back when we did the occasional forma night on a cruise, I have a long black skirt and a matching tunic top. One time with my mother's very big and bold rhinestones and another time with an equally big and bold scarf. I still hold onto those things just in case.
I actually did a test on that decades ago when I worked in the corporate world. I tried to remember what anyone had worn to work the previous day. Nope. Not a single one.
I loathed Dubrovnik for that reason! I heard that UNESCO was threatening to withdraw their heritage status if they didn't do something about it. And that maybe they'll reduce the number of ships that can come.
And, unless one is working while traveling, why do you need your phone at all. When we were in France I used mine two or three times to call restaurant for a res.
I say 'people are quick to criticize and slow to praise.' I have this little personal thing I fell into many years ago. It comes absolutely naturally. I try and generally succeed in complimenting at least one person every day. It makes both of us feel good.
