Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2019 Author #1151 Share Posted December 8, 2019 That's it for Vibe... You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here... Plenty of room to sit on the floor, but the deck chairs are done for tonight... No line now at the Surf bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted December 8, 2019 #1154 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Sid, you need a new "last night" tradition - no sleeping allowed. Max out that drink package and try every drink on the menu!! I know you won't let us down! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvcruzing Posted December 8, 2019 #1156 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Obviously, NCL has made the OL way too comfortable with the abundance of pillows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2019 Author #1157 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Wake up call set for 5:30 am... I hope I'm not letting y'all down by not staying out drinking half the night... Although, I think I've only been up until 10:30 at the latest all week. More often than not, 9:30 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 8, 2019 Author #1159 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Bong had a few minutes of downtime during his shift at the mojito bar. He was telling me how burned out he's become after all these years of 12 hour days, seven days a week... He's suffering from high blood pressure, and he says that sometimes he has trouble just making it through the day without passing out. He's been the rockstar bartender for NCL for a long time now, and I can just hear it in his voice, that he doesn't know how much longer he can continue at this pace. He showed me some pictures of a building that he developed in the Philippines, that he actually rents out apartments in. He showed me some pictures of his own private apartment, and all the gifts that customers have given him over the years. A lot of people go on these cruises don't really consider the long hard hours that the workers put in for us each and every day... Sometimes I see how rudely passengers treat some of these hard working folks who are just trying to make a living. I always go out of my way to be kind and considerate and most of all, patient with these people who bust their hump so we can have a great vacation... To all the great men and women of the cruise line, I salute you......... 62 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted December 8, 2019 #1160 Share Posted December 8, 2019 (edited) No way you could let us down, mr. sid. Safe sailing and travels home to you, kind sir. Our first cruise ever was aboard the CCL Legend, 2006, out of NYC (en why see) on the exact same itinerary. We were total newbies without CC. San Juan, Tortola and St. Thomas. Seeing this trip through your experiences and posts here has been great. thank you for all you have shared. Its been a pleasure and an honor to sail *with* you. Treat others the way you would like to be treated yourself. Amen my brother. ~Robin Edited December 8, 2019 by meatball_nyc Damn spelling 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See ya next time 🙂🍹 I had the Spicy Mojito at the Sugarcane Mojito Bar, and I did not like it at all. Sent the hubby up to get me a regular Mojito, I just couldn’t drink the spicy one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shidah Posted December 8, 2019 #1165 Share Posted December 8, 2019 3 hours ago, blarko said: OK, so feet are just gross in general BUT what’s the difference between sitting somewhere that people have put their feet on or somewhere that people have put their a$$ on (any public place you can think of including restaurants, airports, waiting rooms, etc)? Hopefully those couches are not fabric. And the pillows should just not even be a thing. Agree with Greenpea, not the same. When people start putting their bare a$$ on the couches and pillows, well then there will be no difference. And if we get to that point in the OL, those pictures will be much more valuable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can agree to disagree on this 😀 How do we know people aren’t putting their bare butts on chairs and pillows? l’ve seen plenty of clothed people whose butt cheeks and/or butt cracks are hanging out of their clothes. There’s not always necessarily two layers of clothes between the butt and the furniture. Have you never sat on a chair and said “why is this chair all wet”? I have. Not trying to argue. Just my own opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
