Praying we don’t take any “friends” home 

I've joked around, however, when it happens, these pests are no laughing matter.  I hope you did not carry an infestation with you.

Yes it was on Constellation.

Almost the entire crew was in training, I did not want to get our cabin steward in trouble by going to her boss. Gave her the opportunity to bring it to her boss’s attention herself. Just like the bartender that had to ask how to make a manhattan - I instructed him instead of complaining to superiors.

How did you find it ? we always pull up the bottom covers and check out the mattress - but do you have a special light ?

We weren’t even checking for them. Just pulled out the extra bedding from under the bed and saw it crawling around. You almost never see them, especially in the day, so that was really concerning.

How was it ultimately resolved?

They moved us to another room and offered us $200 future cruise onboard credit to be used within 2 years which we declined. They also laundered all of our clothes, charged us, then we had to spend time in line again getting the charge reversed, which they did. No one seemed surprised we found a critter.
