HAL Coffee Cups

[SnorkelBear]

Hello,
I was wondering if HAL has left handed coffee cups. My wife is left handed and can only use left hand coffee cups. Princess had them, but we had to ask. :D

Also, for all you Alaska cruisers; where does all the white go when the snow melts. Always been perplexed by that one.

[kakalina]

SnorkelBear: I am left handed and have purchased several left handed mugs from HAL. They show the writing to the outside when you hold it in your left hand :D
ps DH says as I am a blonde left handed female that if you don't hold it properly it will dribble!

It is recycled through a percidulator and formed into snowballs which are then sold to the eskimos thereby increasing profits by millions annually. ;)

?????????????????????

i am left handed and have no problem using the coffee cups on hal not the ones i have bought for home use --- if the handle is on the wrong side of the cup i just turn the cup 180 degrees --- if i am feeling very daring i leave the sup on the saucer and just turn the saucer

If this is the case then I purchased a left handed Dam Ships Mug:D :eek: Because if the handle is on the left the Dam Ships is showing out:cool:

[bepsf]

If you'd look at your DAM deckplans, you'd clearly see the little L's which clearly indicate the staterooms and accomodations reserved for you lefties.

If you can't figure this out on your own, your TA should be able to coordinate w/ Shipservices to ensure that you have left-handed accomodations...
:rolleyes:

[SnorkelBear]

Hey Brian,

Wouldn't that be "port-handed". I am starting to smell a right-winged conspiracy. Do they sell cigars onboard?

[jhannah]

Do they sell cigars onboard? Yes, they do. They're the ambidextrous kind. However, if you're a leftie you'll need to take care peeling the band off, as it's wrapped and folded over for gluing the "wrong" way. But no biggie!

Just be sure you don't use a right-handed match to light it, or you could end up with a big mess!

[SnorkelBear]

Thanks for the tips Jim. I'll be sure to pack left handed lighter.

The cigar question went along with the "right-wing conspiracy" theme. You remember. The blue dress?? Former President??? Conspiracy. Right-handed, right-winged. This is pretty funny stuff! Through me a bone.:D

[Copper10-8]

Bear, are you in your right or left mind today? You ought to get yourself a left-footed skateboard!

BTW, do you know if the crew on HAL's ships sleep onboard at night?

[sail7seas]

Is this an up or down staircase? :D

[raadsel]

Actually, the white melted snow mixes with the blue from the melted glacial ice to make the pretty color of the ocean and lakes around Alaska. ;)

[SnorkelBear]

Hi Copper,

I am usually somewhat, sort of , kinda middle minded. But you never know.

I can't speak for HAL, but I have stayed in crew quarters on Carnival, and I definitely heard some sleeping going on. Either that, or they cut all the firewood at night.

[NapTown Jim]

I see my tongue-in-cheek reply got nuked. I guess there's no room for humor here. :rolleyes:

[SnorkelBear]

NapTown,

My reply to you got nuked too. I thought your acrynym was hilarious. It must have been that letter that follows E. I guess humor can be a very a dangerous thing. We can drop bombs, just not the "letter that follows E bombs." Even if in an acrynym. Which I normally hate. I had to think about yours for a bit, but I figured it out. Anyone that may be offended should nor get it anyway. JMHO. OOOOPs!!!:eek:

I'm not even going to ask you what you were doing in Carnival's crew quarters:rolleyes:

What do they do with the ice sculptures after they melt?

[SnorkelBear]

Copper,

I was working with Que to come up with some new top secret stuff for 007.

They take the sculpture melt, run it through a reverse osmosis system to make ice sculptures from concentrate which freezes real well.

Glad to hear somebody got that one!:D Take care, Bear;)

Don't you mean Starboard-wing conspiracy?

[AlohaPride]

I didn't fall for it this time! I learned from my blonde moment last time! Of course they don't push the melted ice sculptures in the pool! They are MELTED! Duh!

[SnorkelBear]

Aloha,

Touche.
See, this can be fun and informative. we have just changed the monikers of our political parties. Portwing and starboardwing. I like it.

[Copper10-8]

Very good, proud of you!!;)

Do the elevators go all the way to the front of the ship?

[Bill S]

Be sure to ask for the left-handed Bingo cards, too!

[AlohaPride]

Very good, proud of you!!;)

Do the elevators go all the way to the front of the ship?

What happens if it's raining and they slide all the way off the ship...do the elevators float?

[jhannah]

...do the elevators float? Yes, they do. It's fairly new Maritime Law that says elevators must have gyroscopic righting devices and automatic water-tight seals that activate when in the water. You'll do fine for up to 5 hours.

Is the moon I saw over Palermo last month the same moon you folks saw in the States?

[AlohaPride]

Yes, they do. It's fairly new Maritime Law that says elevators must have gyroscopic righting devices and automatic water-tight seals that activate when in the water. You'll do fine for up to 5 hours.

Is the moon I saw over Palermo last month the same moon you folks saw in the States?

Oh no! That was the European Moon. The American Moon has a blue tint to it, and the Hawaiian moon is covered in Palm Trees....


Now about that pesky sun...How does it change temperatures so often? It's 100 degrees in some places, and a mere 80 in others...Who controls the thermostat?!

[SnorkelBear]

Jim,
Everyone knows the moon in Palermo is made from Parmesan cheese and the moon here, for some reason, is made of Swiss cheese.

[lougee1043]

when the ship makes a turn does it ever cut the electrical line that they plugged in and tow behind them when they left the home port

[AlohaPride]

That's just silly! Everyone knows the electrical line is made out of the rubberband material. It stretches! That's why no one gets electrocuted when they swim. Duuuh!

Yes, the left handed cups have the handle on the other side. As for the white on the snow...they then use it on the rice. Nothing is wasted. :D

[SnorkelBear]

Honey,

I don't even want to know what they use for the brown rice.

[Krazy Kruizers]

I have to admit that when I first started to read this, I got an "expression" on my face - but then I burst out laughing by the time I got to the end of OP's post!!

[HoneyGV]

Bear, are you in your right or left mind today? You ought to get yourself a left-footed skateboard!

BTW, do you know if the crew on HAL's ships sleep onboard at night?



No, they do not sleep onboard at night. They must be taken off the ship and check in at the HAL HOTEL which is run by Helen Waite. If there are any complaints about the accomodations they will go to Helen Waite.:D

[SnorkelBear]

Krazy,

If I can turn just one frown upside down, my life is richer.

A chuckle a day will keep the SnorkelBear tapping away.:D

[HoneyGV]

Very good, proud of you!!;)

Do the elevators go all the way to the front of the ship?

That also depends on which way the ship is heading and which wall you are standing on in the elevator.:D

Of course on the Crown Princess a few weeks ago, they were going to the port side of the ship I believe.:D

[HoneyGV]

Oh no! That was the European Moon. The American Moon has a blue tint to it, and the Hawaiian moon is covered in Palm Trees....


Now about that pesky sun...How does it change temperatures so often? It's 100 degrees in some places, and a mere 80 in others...Who controls the thermostat?!

Don't even TRY to go near the sun unless it's at night!:D

[RuthC]

I see my tongue-in-cheek reply got nuked. I guess there's no room for humor here. :rolleyes:
I missed it! :eek: Can ya do it again? :confused: Maybe in code this time? ;)
Can ya? Can ya? Pleeeezzzzzzzeeeeeee.

[AlohaPride]

Honey,

I don't even want to know what they use for the brown rice.

I honestly laughed out loud for this one....

ROTFLMHO!!

[Copper10-8]

No, they do not sleep onboard at night. They must be taken off the ship and check in at the HAL HOTEL which is run by Helen Waite. If there are any complaints about the accomodations they will go to Helen Waite.:D

Now I always thought they were taken off by helicopter each night and returned in the morning

Did you hear about the blonde female pasenger who called the Front Office from her cabin to complain that there was no way out of her cabin. The attendant asked if she saw any doors. She said "Yes, two but one goes into the bathroom and the other has a 'Do Not Disturb' sign on it."

[NapTown Jim]

I missed it! :eek: Can ya do it again? :confused: Maybe in code this time? ;)
Can ya? Can ya? Pleeeezzzzzzzeeeeeee.

What this BBS really needs is a Personal Message Mailbox to email CC members on this site. I'll try it again later, but you better be on your toes Ruth. The mods may wipe it out again.

[SF49erfan]

I am always confused about what time the midnight buffet is held:confused: . Since my DH is right handed and I am left handed we are always split up in the Lido line.

[the2ofus]

You do know that we lefties are the only people who are always in our right minds.

[SnorkelBear]

I am ambidextrous, so I don't use either side of my brain. Most of you probably already assumed that though.:)

[AlohaPride]

Ditto...

And I was actually able to find a left handed coffee mug. The one's with the screw on top. There is no way to hold it with your right hand and drink it! You HAVE to hold it with your left. It's sold at the Local 7-11s! I have 2

[ger_77]

Do you mean that I've been using the wrong coffee mugs all these years? I feel soooooo stupid . . . . . . . . . .:eek:

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

[shipshapegal]

I think I must be bisexual. I can write with either hand.

[NapTown Jim]

I missed it! :eek: Can ya do it again? :confused: Maybe in code this time? ;)
Can ya? Can ya? Pleeeezzzzzzzeeeeeee.

OK, here ya go....

Mine was the first reply and to the question about left handed coffee mugs on HAL compared to those they've had when they've sailed on Princess. I said "I've only got 1 cruise under my belt with HAL, but that's enough to know that there's no place for wierdos and mutants such as people who are left handed. They should consider sailing with Princess so they can be with their own kind.

;)

I further added...
*** is a left handed mug? I thought they were omni-handed?


So, I gather the offended party did not see the ";)" smiley and did not realize the reply was a tongue-in-cheek response.

[SnorkelBear]

Hey NapTown,

I think it was the "***" got got you whacked. My relpy to you was 86ed also and I did not say anything about mutants or weirdos. It was the *** part That cracked me up.

[RuthC]

OK, here ya go....
Thank you.
btw---you used three of my favorite letters. ;) ;) ;)

[the2ofus]

If the initials mean what I think, I can only repeat my father's comment on the use of the word. "Why is something so beautiful and meaningful used in such an ugly and insulting manner in our language?"

[SnorkelBear]

2,
Very nice thought, but that letter means so much more than that. It is a noun, a verb, an adjective, an adverb, and just about every *ing thing.

[cruzincurt]

On our last cruise on the Veendam, people were trapped on the escalator when the power went out. I'm glad to see that there is no escalator on the Zuiderdam. We Treasure Friendships?

[RuthC]

On our last cruise on the Veendam, people were trapped on the escalator when the power went out.
I can relate to that. :( Hope none of them were in a rush to use the rest room. :eek:

[the2ofus]

OK, Ruth, methinks you missed your daily ration of chocolate. Or else you were distracted by chocolate while reading. Read Crusincurt again.:D

[RuthC]

No, I got it, Jane. It's just that I'm one of those people who actually could get stuck on an escalator. :eek:
(Can't climb up/down stairs easily.)

[michmike]

A few yrs back I got my darlin left handed sis (who is a medical librarian in a catholic hospital) a mug that had a msg on it that was something to the effect that we are all born left handed and that we become right handed after committing our first sin..

also interesting to note that the percentage of left handed folks in prison is significantly higher than the percentage of them in the population as a whole. Maybe unresolved issues over teachers trying to convert them from writing left handed in early elementary years? then again, sinister derives from the Latin for left...

right handed here.. but that sinning with susie perkins was worth it.. *L*

[AlohaPride]

right handed here.. but that sinning with susie perkins was worth it.. *L*

OMG! :eek:


:D

[carlosv]

I don't know why some people get so upset because they can't find left-handed coffee cups. The last one I bought had the openning on the bottom.You gotta be a fast drinker to make it work.
