Rare mandyleighflies Posted April 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 13, 2022 They extended the mask mandate another 2 weeks...that means at least 4 more weeks of getting cussed out at work multiple times a day. I booked myself an emotional support cruise listening to beach music sobbing 🙃😭🚢 Bright side....Adventure OTS in 62 days and now Grandeur OTS in 354, after Grandeur I will level up to Emerald status (yay).

I work in a federal building and 10-12 hours a day in that mask is a killer. Keep on swimming!! You got this girl. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisegal40 Posted April 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted April 13, 2022 So sorry about this for you. I don't think too many of us can imagine what the flight industry has to put up with. Bad people. Angry people. Enjoy your cruise and great on the sobriety. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScubaDo Posted April 13, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I understand. I am a nurse and healthcare workers still have to wear a mask and enforce this to all that enter our hospital. We do not have any Covid patients in our hospital! Everyone needs an escape from this. Enjoy your cruise. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for what you do! Here's hoping that masks aren't needed much longer. As noted earlier, you guys don't get nearly enough appreciation. Especially during bad COVID, it would be hard to stay courteous to passengers demanding the 'freedom' to unmask and risk spewing toxic particles on you and everyone else. Have a wonderful cruise!

It is always well received. 🙂 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRF Posted April 14, 2022 #22 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Sorry to hear about the extension of the mask mandate. I fly in a week and was hoping to see it gone. Congratulations on the other things. Our flight next week is to Barbados to join Grandeur on her repositioning to Galveston. WOOHOO!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mandyleighflies Posted April 14, 2022 Author #23 Share Posted April 14, 2022 ❤️❤️❤️ Oh my gosh!! Thank you everyone for the love and support!! 😊 It's been a rough couple of years but luckily cruising is back so I do have my happy place back again. We are on Adventure the 14th of June, my kids have never been to Canada and we live in the DC area so we can take Amtrak up to NJ the morning of the cruise. Two big items off the bucket list with Amtrak and Canada. This is their first post-panini cruise so they are so so excited (13 and 15). FA's cannot accept tips at my airline but honestly at this point, even smiling back (even under mask lol) and being humanly polite is appreciated. I am hoping that soon we will have more humanity return to the friendly skies. Sober Fabulous has been lovely, I am looking forward to all the mocktail options onboard and plan on not only posting about them here, but also starting some kind of traveling sober blog/vlog for anyone who may be trying to stop or just sometimes want a day between bevvies while on vacation. Cruiser's are the best humans, thanks again everyone for allowing me to vent. ❤️🐠❤️ 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
