I was waiting to see who would go there!

 

We used to live in Crofton. But I worked in Frederick a few times a month. Loved the nickname

I change things up often.  I'm slow in C.C.  In another Forum, I'd change my log-in handle and pictures every couple of weeks or sooner.  There was no restrictions in that forum.  I'll not be changing my "ret mp" in here though.

Don’t mind the once a day cleaning as long as they leave enough towels to be used for two showers a day.

Oh, and when I changed my handle, I'd put in the Signature of who I was.  It became a long list of used handles.

We were there about 16 or so years.

No, wife won't have one.  Her father, a 30 year Marine, taught her that dogs were bad and she's afraid of them.

It only took 20 years to figure out how to change it! Any idea how to change name? (No longer live in Frederick MD.) But no girly puppy here! But I am jealous of the rare sticker! 😉

You should leave your user name alone as it is recognizable here.... just my opinion.

That is unfortunate. Everyone should have the experience of being loved by a dog.

... I already use ED at Starbucks cause they can never spell my name... 

No one can spell my first name, so I always give my very simple last name ... people still spell it wrong.

Bella in full Dawg form. Hardly Girly😉

Super cute dog!  What's her breed? 

My Pitsky loves wearing clothes.

My Weimaraner would not have had anything to do with wearing clothes.

I don't use one towel just once, usually change about every 4th day at home, so why would I need a different towel each day on the cruise.

Okay, and that's you.   You absolutely do you!

We just got off the Oasis. Our cabin steward was fantastic, and one of the highlights of our cruise. Switching from that to a once a day service from someone with twice the number of cabins will significantly impact our satisfaction with Royal.

Might give it more of a test than just 1 day. ;-/

It was not a 1 day cruise, it was a 3 day cruise.

What a lot of crap.  Bottom line is economics period.  The last sentence really hits the bullseye  

"9 percent reduction in the company’s shoreside staff."

Agree. What I read made me LOL. With that said, I see this as the new norm.

I wonder if I can get ice from guest services or maybe install an ice machine on every deck, just like hotels.

I see the cabin attendant getting ice if they leave service door open. Help myself or call guest services?

My biggest concern is what will happen with Sofa-beds for 3rd and 4th guests. These take up quite a bit of room, especially on Quantum and newer Oasis class, and make it difficult to manoeuvre around the cabin. Would these cabins still receive a morning and evening service?
