You are the first person I have ever heard of who does not return an article of clothing to a store.Does this mean that if you get a gift of a shirt or other clothing item that is two sizes bigger or smaller than what you wear you do not exchange it ?
We also have never done a guaranty cabin booking.When we got the upgrade from the OV to the balcony we took the chance because it was my wife’s Retirement Cruise .The balcony was a great cabin ,no obstruction.
When I was in college 60 years ago many people aspired to be Accountants.If you Google is it acceptable to tip your Accountant you will find that the answer is Yes.
How many people do you know who when growing up had the burning desire to be a Porter? I see it as a necessity .People who are not able to get desirable jobs will take a job as a Porter,IMHO.
