Etiquette questions..

"I'm on a cruise, I'm free to do whatever I want, wherever I want."

 

This is the number 1 reason that things go wrong on a cruise...

 

Bingo! Couldn't agree more..

This was my reaction too! I've never heard of an 85 year old woman who still even needs to shave her legs.. LOL

Wow I've just learnt something new ... You get less body hair with age ??

Am I the only one that flushes the clippings down the terlet? :cool:

You might be, because that may not be an authorized 'terlet' flushing item.. :o:eek:

OMG. Best thread ever. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Thank you.

I'm a biter, no need to do anything lol.

Why? Are you swallowing them?

Jeez now I know why I don't need to shave my legs so often.

Do you biters also bite your toenails? I used to do that (not swallowing them or spitting them out but placing them in the aforementioned baggies) but my flabby tummy and arthritis just do not allow that any more. Getting old is H$%L. About the hair growing less as you age.....I can certainly testify that you are correct if you are talking about hair on your head, but ask most old men like me............hair starts growing in places you would not think of. If I could just get it all moved to my head I would not have the big bald spot.

I have been so glad these topics have come up and I now feel much better about these problems. I also want to thank the person who mentioned my will and the passing on my treasures in the crystal vase. I will have to contact my lawyer immediately to have this omission taken care of. ;p;p;p;p;p;p

Keep on cruising and enjoying life. Share smiles and hugs freely, make the world a better place.

Hold on your horses here...the following is not critique, but a mere observation in general:

It is in YOUR CULTURE maybe the rudest thing. In other cultures, this might be socially acceptable, but blowing ones nose in public is an absolute faux-pas...

It all depends on your local customs.

a cruise ship has a vast range of Nationalities and cultures onboard and not everyone knows your local customs. I do not clip my nails in public, but have no problem with someone doing this in public, as long as I am not covered in clippings 😉.

Im talking about Americans doing it in front of Americans... IT IS RUDE and NOXIOUS

Actually I remember being on a HAL ship (Volendam) where there were nail clippings all over the balcony (also foot prints on the glass balcony).:(

A few days into the cruise we got a notice that the carpeting in our room was going to be cleaned, so I called them and asked them to clean the balcony while they were at it.

Later in the day we were scolded by our room steward for doing this .... he said this was his job and we should have told him.

BTW the nail clippings were still there the next day. Guess he showed us.

Sorry but WHAT??????? :D

Any one else finding this entire thread gross and disgusting?

Thanks for a great laugh and for the reminder that it is time I gave myself a pedicure -- in private!

I have love this thread. Thanks to who ever started it.

At your MIL's age - she found enough hairs to shave??:eek::eek::D

Ain't that the truth! However the missing hair on the legs mysteriously seems to show up on the chin and lip !! YIKES! :eek:

Ears for me, lol.

Ok, we'll switch gross subjects ... like those who don't wash after using the toilet or those who cough into their hands... ;)

Or sneezing into their hands... or worse yet, just sneezing into empty space; not even making an attempt to contain it! :(

That's gross.....pull my finger.....

Laughed Out Loud at this post because it's so true!:D

1/ A: Do not risk a breach of etiquette. Clip ashore at least interesting port of call.

2/ A: Down your stateroom sink. Don't worry about every last whisker, though. There are always a few left around the top no matter how hard you try.
