  1. The visible portions are redundant in my opinion because the Activities Manager often is no different from the CD.It is the same for any industry .People in power tend to delegate jobs that they do not wish to do.
  2. In my opinion there is a lot of redundancy on cruise ships. A CD as well as an Events Manager. I have been on cruises where the only time the CD was visible was when she or he introduced nightclub acts. b
  3. I cannot debate that because I have never been on a River cruise nor a small ship.Therefore,I defer to your opinion.
  4. Are you saying that a person who books a shore excursion does not ask what time they have to be outside when the excursion is booked ?That in my opinion should not be the job of a CD.
  5. An intelligent person should have the ability to figure things out for herself or himself.
  6. If I cruised at a young age I likely would have appreciated a CD in lieu of my parents to direct my activities but I was an adult at the first time I cruised,1973 not 1971.My wife and I were on a cruise that did not offer shore excursions and we had a wonderful in port experience.On the ship the only activities were skeet shooting ,shuffleboard and a pool .
  7. Not necessarily depressing.When I was growing up it was possible to walk anywhere in NY ,day or night without fear of being mugged.Streets were clean.Very little if any pollution.I got along fine without automation.
  8. For some of us the past was better than the present
  9. My preferred music has never been heard by me on a cruise: Songs by the Fugs,David Peel and Artie Traum. Aside from that in my opinion music from 1965 to 1983 is the best of all time.
  10. I could not say what occurred on other lines at the time.I went on a cruise in 1973 to celebrate a special year birthday.My next cruise was in 1994 also to celebrate a birthday.By the time I began cruising on a regular basis it was 2008 and things were totally different.
  11. My late cousin Helen worked many years for Hallmark writing the words in their cards..I cannot recall how she got the job but we occasionally watch the Hallmark Chanel.
  12. Love boat was not a show that I would choose to reflect on .To state why would cause the post to be removed .
  13. Rodney Dangerfield was a one of a kind comedian.He was an Accountant in his early life .
  14. Thank you so very much .You have no idea how much I appreciate it.
  15. I have not been able to go anywhere since Feb.2020.I have two illnesses for which there is no cure.I am sorry that my posts nearly always seem to bother you.
  16. No,I am in bed 21 hours a day and I look out my terrace window .That is my life .
  17. It does not matter to me .I am merely posting to start a conversation as I have nearly always done in the many years that I have been posting here.
  18. We used a TA who gave out gifts for each cruise booked.The first cruise was a shopping bag .Each cruise booked the gift was better.For the 5th.we got a pair of binoculars.For the 7th a good quality carryon.
