What's your biggest pet peeve when cruising?

Soooo....you bring your own towels from home to use out on deck and in port? Not something I'd want to do. I don't do laundry on vacation, and the thought of using the same beach towels every day for the whole week just doesn't appeal to me, at all. Lee Nope, Mrs. Nonny and I aren't the chaise lounge types and when we're ashore, we normally are shopping. When going ashore and knowing we're going to be on a beach, or when the kids want to do that, there are towels by the gangway we can check out. By the way, Lee, there's also a more economical alternative. As we both know, the cabin steward keeps some track of the number of white guest towels, wash cloths and hand towels in the cabin bath, so you certainly can't take them to the pool or ashore. To refresh your supply at home, all you have to do is grab some of the soiled towels in the hampers the steward uses during the day, and stuff them into your suitcase. When going ashore, it's no big deal grabbing 3-4 soiled towels in the hallway and wrapping them around under your moo moo dress or Aloha shirt. Nobody notices and since you're going to be on the beach and getting them wet anyway, the already soiled and damp towels in the halllway are perfectly fine.

She did although I was across the aisle and I did a lot the standing up. She's quiet and doesn't like confrontation. What made it even worse was that she had been pushed to the 5 seat in the back and was having trouble trying to control a panic attack. |

Would you like to read some of Nonny's other stories? They are very funny and entertaining. :-) Some of them are actually based on fact, according to Mrs. N. Ermalee |

HEAR! HEAR! It never ceases to amaze me, the rudeness of some passengers
(of ALL ages). We often need to take an elevator to the tenth floor from the sixth in order to get to the third floor with Barb in her scooter.

We 'monopolize' tables too, as we play cards, visit with each other, make new friends, read and just chill out. Oh and we have been known to eat lunch at the same table! Yep, that's the kind of folk we are, so watch out for us. We don't leave things on the chairs and such, we just have a revolving group. And get this we are seniors and on a budget! Peaches in Rowlett TX (constant cruiser) Peaches, it is nice to see you back. What bothers me when I cruise, is how rude people are to handicapped people at the elevators. If you ever notice anyone in a wheelchair or a scooter, please step aside and allow them to enter the elevator when the elevator door opens. I was with a friend in a scooter, and we had to wait until the 3rd elevator, because everyone would walk around us to get on the elevator as soon as the door opened. It was like this lady was invisible. What did they think we were standing there for? Let us hope you will not be the next one in a wheelchair or a scooter. Becca |

The closest we've come to this experience was on Oceania Regatta
Trans-Atlantic. Only required announcements, few kids, NO photographers, and when too few customers showed up for BINGO they just cancelled the session! HEAVEN! Tobieon an Island in the Pacific ding, customers artificially holding chairs & tables, kids in hot tubs, pesky photographers... And so on. Since these tend to be the things that irritate many of the readers here, who can suggest the names of cruise lines that don't have most of these problems? -hh (who didn't experience any of these problems on my last cruise) |
