What about the overpriced pictures these days. The embarquation photo that used to be 4x6 & cost $6.96- now they make it an 8x10 & expect people to shell out $19.95. well, it *is* over three times the area ;-) -- Wilf |

My pet peeve is the cruise line's failure to enforce their own rules. I
think if they enforced stated rules, the majority of these pet peeves would be non-issues. Diana Ball Austin, TX |

"Tobie Gerbrandt" wrote in message news:70cJi.219466$fJ5.128282@pd7urf1no... How about the photographers set up all over the ship. The set-ups and the lines waiting to have their pictures done block the flow of traffic. This is particularly bad when a person is in a wheelchair. I would have to agree with Tobie...It is annoying to have photographers block your way after you have processed aboard, on exit of the dining room and while trying to disembark at ports. It is especially annoying and a waste of time and photographic materials when you do not intend to purchase the photos... Second peeve is *pokes* at the buffet line who hold up the entire line trying to decide what they want...they at least should tell the person (s) behind them to pass and go ahead of them. --Jean After art auction crud being scattered all over the common areas of the ship, I have to agree with you and Tobie, Jean. -- ---Nonnymus--- You don’t stand any taller by trying to make others appear shorter. |

I'm 6'3" so that might have something to do with it. G |

Mine would have to be those who hog chairs with towels and then you see the towels sitting on empty chairs throughout the day. As far as I am concerned if you aren't in the chair for about 15 minutes or no family member is right there the chairs are fair game. What do you guys think?

Pet Peeves...
1) Cruise lines that schedule Bingo in the main show lounge before every show so you have to sit through that while waiting... or get there early because the Bingo players have the best seats. 2) "Sidewalk Sales" where they drag all the store's merchandise out into the passageways for a sale. Half a billion $$$ for a ship and they turn it into a flea market. 3) Maitre 'ds who think they are entertainers and insist on talking and making announcements. 4) Cruise Lines who think that the dining room staff are entertainers. I would rather have my coffee and dessert after dinner without sitting through another performance of the Macarena. Sheesh... I am beginning to sound like a curmudgeon. -- George Leppla http://www.CruiseMaster.com January 20, 2008 - GGC2008 - http://cruisemaster.com/adventure.htm October 26, 2008 Sleazy 5 http://www.cruisemaster.com/sleazy5.htm |

Answered Inline: "Rosalie B." wrote in message .. . Standing in line. That's my biggest peeve for not cruising too. The only one that is specific to cruising is the ding ding ding from the casino. A VERY irritating noise. NOT to those sitting at the machines making that sound!!!! Why would you be annoyed?...Surely you don't spend all your time outside the Why do you think I should not be annoyed? If one is NOT sitting at the machines, that is an annoying sound. Does my being annoyed bother you? Why? Does it infringe on your right to sit at those machines? Does it make you feel guilty or something? Can't I say that something annoys me without you telling me that I shouldn't be bothered? Why not? casino..It is on only one deck midship usually...with the ship's size and so many other places to go, it would have to be your choice to be near it! I was sitting in the atrium doing wireless internet on my laptop (I couldn't get the wireless in my cabin). And the casino was at the top of the atrium and the sound echoed around the atrium. If I had gone to the internet cafe (up two levels and at the other end of the ship), it would have been colder and farther to go. That was my choice. Atrium or internet cafe (which was next to the main dining room), and I always froze in the internet cafe, plus the casino wasn't so far from that. (This was a smaller ship.) In the other case the casino was near the little bar where we had the trivia and we not only had the ding ding ding, we also had the smoke.. At first I thought someone was tuning a piano. It is an annoying noise. |
