I'm one of those oldies, but with a difference, I don't mind how you choose to lead your life. My tip is, and I think you already employ it, Don't take shirt (sp) from anyone.;)[/QUOTE] Thank-you and and for the record i love my oldies.I genuinely dislike anyone who shows dis-respect regardless of age,creed,inclination.i want to relate a story from our last cruise. Every morning a elderly couple would come up for a swim(9ish),it was obvious that the lady had had a stroke,her husband would hold her hand and they would walk everywhere(melts my heart),with a bit of diffuculty. Now after their swim she would sit down,in the sun and be quite out of breath, and he would go off and return 15 mins later and presumably go to their cabin.I noticed she was always in the sun,so from that day on,whenever i was there(most mornings)i made sure she had a seat in the shade,and gave her a glass of water.no big deal,no accolades needed,its a human thing.What infuriated me was the people around,just ignored her like she was some sort of sub-being(and yes most were oldies),i would watch people push and barge past them,through doorways.(bloody disgusting).I have read and seen people mock and complain about wheelchairs and scooters,get a life one day these mockers may need one.We open doors for them,step out of elevators so they can get in,hell were in no rush,the pool wont empty,the bar dosent close,food wont run out.We actually convinced one of them to come up to the oasis bar,for a damn good knees-up,and we have on video the welcome from other patrons and barman which was set-up,they were chuffed,couldn't believe it,they said they wouldn't venture back there,its to hard.Well not on my watch.We had a lady who was 83 who would dance with our crew in the arvos and sit up at the bar with us,one of the guys always escorted her back to her cabin,which was forward in the bowels of the ship.What was our crew,well they had a lgbti(sounds like a subway sandwich) meeting at 4 most arvos and sail away parties.Well ya know what 1/4 way into the cruise we had 50-60 people up there as well as the cruise director(Billy London)who would emerge from somewhere and make sure things were good.And ya know what there were only 6 lgbti people out of that 60,and we had the best time,and made lots of friends.DJ Delittie was awesome and helped us set up a sound system for when he wasent there.Oh and by the way the people who just watched and stared and did nothing for this old couple received the death stare,nothing else,and the death-stare is not pretty(lol) Edited April 6, 2016 by mrs and mrs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell21 Posted April 6, 2016 #318 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Growing up with a good mate next door who had Cerebral Palsy, and having lived and worked in the Philippines for quite a few years took any grandiose self opiniated ideas out of my head I can tell you.

Expat Cruise Posted April 6, 2016 #321 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Personally I dont see the issue, leave the autos on, pay extra IF you won't. Follow the dress code, how hard is it, and many people say I'm a bit of a rebel. So as long as others agree with you they are correct and no issue. But if the opposite then they are wrong and you are right..... Thank you for clearing things up.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitoh_777 Posted April 12, 2016 #323 Share Posted April 12, 2016 . I just love the people who wish the staff were paid an aussie wage. Obviously they don't realise the cheapest fare would be in the 4/500 dollars a day each. On my countless cruises I noticed the one's who whinge the most re tipping are usually in suites. Just handover a few bucks it wont kill you. . . It's too funny for words mate but still a laugh a minute reading Tipping, Formal attire and Laundry threads. Also if you can do me a favour and rejig your signature cruise list to what's below then go post in this thread http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2336151 that'll rustle their whinging whining jimmies as well! lol... :eek: Cheers r . ======================================== DONE... 06/1966 Guglielmo Marconi Melbourne to Messina 11/1966 Galileo Galilee Messina to Melbourne 12/1979 Fair Star south pacific 02/1988 Belorussiya Aust coastal 04/1991 Achille Lauro Aust coastal 01/1992 Achille Lauro South Pacific ??/1996 Canberra Aust coastal 01/1997 southern cross South Pacific 03/1998 Fair Princess Aust coastal 03/2002 Pacific Sky Aust coastal 04/2002 Pacific Sky south pacific 08/2005 Pacific Sky south pacific 01/2006 Pacific Sky south pacific 01/2008 Funchal Aust to Bali 05/ 2009 Sapphire Princess USA coastal OCT 11 MSc melody canary islands nov28 11 Dawn Princess south pacific Fiji dec12 11 Dawn Princess Syd Melb dec13 12 2 nites Dawn Princess Syd Melb jan13 13 Sun Princess 11nites Fiji nov15 13 Dawn Princess 4 nites Tasmania JUNE 08 SEA PRINCESS 7 NITES SOUTH PACIFIC OCT 20 DAWN PRINCESS 4 NITES MELB AUCK Jan5 2015 Celebrity Millennium 14 nites Singapore Sept 28 2015 SUN PRINCESS 7 NITES STH PACIFIC Oct 28 Golden Princess 2nite Syd to Melb DEC08 2015 3 Nites PACIFIC JEWEL Syd Melb DEC11 2015 2 nites PACIFIC JEWEL MELB MELB FEB10 2016 14 NITES DAWN PRINCESS FIJI MARCH 19 2016 2 NITES PACIFIC EDEN MELB ADELAIDE TO DO...
