Things that can spoil your cruise vacation.

And what about that in-room ice service? I mean, they just fill up that silver ice bucket 2-3 times a day! Do they really expect me to walk all the way across the room and put the ice in my own glass?? :eek: ;)

 

(Great thread -- thanks for the Independence Day chuckle! :D)

On our last cruise we had to go to the buffet after dinner if we wanted a chocolate on our pillow. We then had to go to the laundry for a pillow case.

OH NO !!! Thread hijacked by a serious response .

 

Redtravel's just trying to outdo you in the humor department!! And I think he/she is actually winning at this point! (who would have thought!?)

 

Keep the humor flowing -- I'm loving it! :D

On my last cruise, I had to open my own door. Where was my room steward?

You need to get a wife.

I recently heard that the Rum Raisin ice cream will now only have 1 raisin. Apparently there is a shortage of raisins worldwide, and Celebrity is rationing.

That can only be a good thing, as it means proportionately more rum! ;)

They put pickles on the burgers without asking you if you want them!!!!

I received instructions on how to make my own towel animal! And paper towels to do so!

In a serious lack of appropriate service I was told by Celebrity booking agent that I needed to add my own hump to our cabin! :eek:

[Gig103]

My cabin kept swaying side to side, and I can tell you that Marriott never does that! The hotel director gave me some excuse about the ocean currents and weather... Ugh, whatever dude.

I'm going on my first ever cruise on Saturday and now you tell me I have to grind my own pepper.

 

Can someone urgently confirm that my personal waiter still cuts up my food and chews if for me.

 

I am truly disgusted if I wanted to pepper my own food I would have booked with Norwegian Cruise Line.

So nice to see that a sense of humour has returned to these boards..if you guys are an indication of guests I will meet on my first Celebrity cruise in November I will look forward to it with even more anticipation.

Huh? I always thought that freshly ground pepper was a step up from a common pepper shaker. And how in the world would this equate to a decline in service? Did you require your waiter to sprinkle the pepper from the shaker for you in the past? I don't get what this complaint is about! :confused::confused::confused:

 

??? Did you not get that this was a joke?

Last cruise my butler's name was "Bubba".

 

Man, have things gone downhill fast!

[barbaragrace]

It takes weeks to get use to not being called "My Lady!" The cashier at Shop Rite gave me such a nasty look when I insisted!

:mad:

[CruisingDaddy]

You won't believe what I had to do.... I had to push my own elevator buttons. Imagine that people, I was on a 14 day cruise and pushed my own BUTTONS. How will the cruising industry survive all these cutbacks??? What next, will we need to cook our own food, mix our own drinks at the bars (actually, this would be nice :):) )

[drfun48]

Why does everyone on board keep telling me to "Have a nice day." Don't I have enough pressure on me already as evidenced by what we are reading in this thread ?

That was no butler! That was my BIL!!

My last cruise, when I went into the elevator, all the buttons were pushed. Didn't have to do a thing. :cool:

I am a wife - i fully expect my husband to open the door - even if I must stand outside the cabin for hours til he comes back from the bar :eek: :D

[Mama24]

I was eagerly anticipating my first Celebrity cruise until I learned that in all likelihood, there would be no celebrities on board. I may need years of therapy. :p

[drfun48]

I learned on my last cruise during the muster drill that not only was there no priority seating on life boats for Elite CC, but that my premium drink package would be of no use to me since there was no bar on the life boat.

Might as well be on the Titanic,at least they had ice.

Does it bother anyone else that when you order your morning coffee for 7 AM as your wake up service & Caffeine boost they come too early at 6:59 AM and wake you up.

When I tried to sneak in a mason jar of good Georgia moonshine, it was promptly confiscated, only to turn up on the counter at the Molecular Bar as one of Junior Merino's fancy concoctions, with a "My Name Is" sticker that said 'Junior's-DO NOT TOUCH!'
