Ocean Boy

London can easily take 3 days unless you really want to knock youself out. The London Tower alone took up half a day and I had to leave before I was ready as I had plans to meet up with my brother and other family members. Venice is such a unique place on earth. You should definitely go.

What did you do in Bermuda? I really like it there and would like to return.

London does have a way of taking up one's time. It is such a great city.

My mistake, I was thinking of Explorer.😑

Hence, the crayons and coloring books.

Do you remember the name of the ice show? I'm just wondering if it is the same from when I was aboard years ago. I remember there was a Gloria Estefan song that I really like... Reach... in it.

You really think kids need to be taking up stools coloring at a bar? It isn't as if they were there enjoying the entertainment or that coloring can only be done while sitting on a bar stool. And no one is trying to confine them to a small area of the ship. Heck, they pretty much have the run of the ship.

What is the crew supposed to do? Is it written anywhere in RCI's rules that they can't be there. I don't recall ever seeing any sign about an age minimum.

One night on Odyssey a mom was sitting at the bar in the Schooner Bar with her two small kids taking up bar stools and coloring with crayons. So I disagree with you. They had no business being in a venue like that taking bar seating away from adults.

Well, the right team lost the challenge. Now we will see who goes home.

I've seen it D D+ P and suites on some ships and D+ P and suites on others. Same thing in the theater.

Survivor coming up shortly.

The first time I really got a sense for that was the very first time my grandmother brought me to Italy and I realized how much more in the way of "things" that I had compared to some of my cousins. By the time that stay was over I was so in love with them and their lifestyle that I really didn't care if I ever came home.

No one said otherwise. Doesn't make your way any less bazaar.

So two different people can work equally hard to provide you with excellent service yet one gets tipped more based on factors totally unrelated to service. Like I said before... bazaar... I'm curious, have you ever had a job where your pay was based on whether you were single, married, or how many kids you had?

I know.

I agree about the stews. Drama is coming.

I believe Luka has already been offered the job by Sandy. She is bringing in a deckhand now.

I don't get your post at all. First you say how your tip is based, at least in part, on the server's personal life based on information obtained by your ongoing interrogation thoughout the trip. Then you say tips should be based on service, and quality, of that service. I haven't a clue how someone's personal life is any guests' business or how it weighs into the gratuity factor. I guess their personal life has to meet with your approval. This just strikes me as bazaar.

It does on all ships that have a Royal Promenade. It doesn't exist on ships smaller than V class or on Q class.

"Hidden Costs"?

I bet he is literate and can read the sign at the entrance.

But it isn't located in the Solarium on O class ships.

Still can't figure out how the boat, or whomever brokers the crew, didn't catch that. You could tell he knew he was caught as he remaind way too calm when his credentials were brought into question. I think Luka is going to a great job as Bosun. He has a really good demeanor.

I only asked as I'm on Odyssey in Feb.
