Domino D Posted August 8, 2018 #1703 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I get my own chocolates flown in for me.This story was why they stopped the pillow chocolates. I allowed 1 of my gold's to have one of my bottles of Moet. He got drunk and fell asleep on the chocolate. Next morning there was brown marks all over the duvet which caused him to wet the sheets. He now is on permanent toilet cleaning duties. Oh the things Golds get into. Honestly C&A service robots can not get here soon enough.

Domino D Posted August 8, 2018 #1704 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Your's gets one ply toilet paper? :confused::o Mine are happy with old newspapers...best not let them know your golds are getting spoiled. ;p;) Agreed, we need to be consistent so as not to confuse the Golds Sent from my SM-G920P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino D Posted August 8, 2018 #1705 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Can we revisit the chocolate in the wine cellar? I miss the chocolates on my pillow. Have the Golds bring them to us nightly perhaps? I fear we may accidentally get too much chocolate and that 2 ply toilet paper will become a necessity. Sent from my SM-G950U using Forums mobile app I am so sorry you even have to ask, the Emeralds should have thought of this and told the Golds.

Rare island lady Posted August 9, 2018 #1706 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I thought that was what the Cruise Compass was for No, that's too soft. Old newspapers still work the best for their needs. ;p And I would not want to sully the cruise compass anyway. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted August 9, 2018 Author #1707 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Have you noticed how people who are not DS often do not suffeciantly respect those of us who are? For example, my boss, who is not DS, wants me to use *actual* accrued vacation time when I am on vacation. This seems like a unnecessary burden and really impacts my ability to cruise as often as I would wish. Frankly, I think we may need to come out from the shadows and just take over. Let's face it, things are a mess and we can get the right people, who know people, to fix things while we enjoy ourselves on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's terrible about your boss...the nerve of him!! :( I got tired of my boss (also non DS :o) dictating what limited vacation time I could have. So my solution was...I quit! Early retirement has made this DS a happy cruiser. :hearteyes::D Agree it's past time to take the helm...direction dictated is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I to understand that no Gold has offered to cover for you at work, or that your "boss" has a problem with that? A man of your status should not have to be troubled by such lower status concepts like "work". I am writing Royal and demanding they fix this.

A man of your status should not have to be troubled by such lower status concepts like "work". I am writing Royal and demanding they fix this. You have hit the very crux of the issue. Why should an arbitrary limit on vacation time impact my enjoyment of life. It's simply unacceptable to have this continue. These are the kin d of things that cause wrinkles.

Domino D Posted August 10, 2018 #1719 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I have an idea for a new DS perk. Interior Fare + dibs. In this perk we would pay interior price,. Then upon arrival we would simply call dibs on any cabin not already claimed by a fellow DS. Sent from my SM-G920P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
