Anyone got prices for hairdressing salon on Splendour (or any other RCI ship as I presume they will all be the same). Tried the search feature but it's not working.

 

Thanks!!!

Hi

 

Does any one know if any of the cruise lines accomodate or provide services for a brief committal or funeral service to scatter ashes at sea?

 

Thanks

Hi,

I remember reading few of the threads about this subject / services.

Here is a link to one of the threads: (please look at post #25 and #42)

I've heard several people talk about it, but I don't understand what it is... :confused:

I believe when people use the term 'foodie' - they refer to someone or themselves as someone who has lots of interest in food especially if it is really good and they might be planning a cruise on a shipthat is known for good food........but sometimes what one considers good food ....others might not.

"Some people are just very thoughtful and and like to do very personal and thoughtful things for others. I think that's why some people want to do a little more than just hand over a few dollars. They want to do something a little more personal and thoughtful. That is why there is so much talk about what "gift to get for the cabin attendant." It is just in some people's nature to go the extra mile and do something thoughtful.

It is wonderful that some people are that way but lets also be realistic:

do people bring 'gifts' for the people that clean the rooms in the hotels that they are staying in ??? I do not know of any.

The job is pretty much the same except it is on a ship. The people/stewards are mostly young adults and very nice people but they are not our 'personal' stewards or servers and they have a job to do and they do it well and 'yes' they expect to be paid for it in the form of a tip.

They are not 'uninformed' or 'people that have not seen anything' and 'do not know anything'.......they are young intelligent adults that have seen a lot of the world and have access to old the 'good stuff'.

They can 'buy' all the 'snickers' that they want and anything else that they desire as long as they have the money.

Some of the 'gifts' that they will gracefully accept and be so very thanful for them are just plain 'junk' and they have no place to keep it but they are smart enough to pretend, and show it to you how much they 'love' the jar of cookies, t shirt or whatever. Are we smart enough to know that it is not so.

Every week or so there is a new group of 'guests' and if only every 5th or 10th person brought a gift........where does one put all of this junk......they share small cabins and there is not much room to start with.

The best gift is 'being respectful and nice to the people that serve you' and 'pay' them with the 'tip' recommended or if they were extra special and you 'felled in love ' with one give them some extra money.

Hi, the steward, waiter and rest of the people on the ship are there for one reason: to make money ......and the money is actually pretty good even in comparison with what many of us make in the USA. So do not feel sorry for the steward. Many of the stewards, waiters, ect. work for few contracts and save enough to open some bussiness of their own in the country where they reside. They have access to all the cookies, candy bars, phone cards and you name it. They are not locked on the ship.......they do get time off and shop in the same places where 'we' do. They buy what they want.....often when you see them in ports they wear nicer things and have better 'stuff' (cameras, video equip.) than many passengers. You can also see them in some local restaurants having good time........and that is the way it should be.

They are people just like us or our kids regardless what country they are from.

Dealing with different people on every cruise they have seen more and heard more stories that I ever will.

Just pay them the recommended tip and treat them with the same respect as you would treat anybody else......and every one will be happy and your service will be just as good as the cabin next door to you.
