LIVE from the Scarlet Lady 8/4-8/11


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Other roof toppers are coming down because of the rain. Met two ladies from the Ukraine living in Nee Jersey. They said a small town. I didn’t ask the exit. Cough @Jamman54 & @Funsince1983  very broken English. We are still awaiting bar service. 
they did say they love Miami.

So downstairs bar is closed for the “season” when rooftop is open. 🙄 I came back up top. It’s sprinkling. I’m having a glass of sparkling and going to bed IF I can get service. I’ll tell you right now, say what you will about tipping and minimum wage and all that jazz. I think servers are under paid in the US. However… sometimes in Europe… without tip culture… you can’t get anything.

You would think that they would put a sign on the Lobby Bar directing everyone up to the Rooftop Bar! sid would be having a fit! :classic_biggrin:

So the Ukraine girls. I don’t know their domestic situation, but I feel like talking to them they think I’m hitting on them or something. I’ve never quite got the Russian/far Asian temperament right. 
PS my tip has got me nuts lol and a freshly cleaned after the rain seat cushion. 
and look who awoke from the dead!!

Lots of Ukrainian crew on the ship, all wonderful, hard working, kind people.

Don't be afraid.

 

For years I always wondered why I got along with the Ukrainian crew members whenever we cruised. My grandfather always told us that he was from Russia. Well thanks to the internet, I now know he was from Odessa, which was considered part of Russia when he was born in 1895.
