What are your Sweet 16 cruise complaints?

You have them. I have them. We all have them. Here's a few of mine from a few Cruises.

1. "They should not allow topless sunbathing on the beach. It was very distracting for me & made me feel guilty as I was with my wife. I just wanted to relax."

2. "On my excursion to Cozomel, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served Mexican food. I really was wanting a simple Hot Dog that day."

3. "When we went to Spain we had problems with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."

4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our own swimsuits and towels. We assumed it would be included in the price."

5. "The beach was too sandy. We had to clean everything when we returned to our room."

6. "Speaking of the sand, we found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. The brochure shows the sand as white but it was more yellow."

7. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time -- this should be banned."

8. "No-one told us there would be fish in the water. The children were scared."

9. "The roads were uneven and bumpy, so we could not read the local guide book during the bus ride to the resort. Because of this, we were unaware of many things that would have made our holiday more fun."

10. "When we got off the ship, it took us three hours to fly home from Ft.Lauderdale to Dallas. The residents of Florida were already home. This seems unfair."

11. "Our friends described their D1 balcony cabin which I compared the size to our D1 balcony and ours was significantly smaller."

12. "When we were in Spain, there were too many Spanish people there. The receptionist spoke Spanish, the food was Spanish. No one told us that there would be so many foreigners."

13. "We had to line up outside to catch the small boat to return to the ship and there was no air-conditioning."

14. "It should be the duty of a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

15. "I was bitten by a mosquito. The brochure did not mention mosquitoes."

16. "My wife and I specifically requested twin-beds when we booked, but instead we were placed in a room with a king bed. We now hold you responsible and want to be re-reimbursed for the fact that she became pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

Hardly YOUR list, this has appeared in many publications, for instance this one

My friend read these to me last night from her Facebook. This list has been circulating for a couple of years now.

Some of them, I find hard to believe. I think a lot of them are made up. JMO.

This exact list was circulated by a famous British travel agency whos name rhymes with Thomas Book last week :p

Nothing to do with cruising and certainly not made by you :rolleyes:

I post in jest. Lighten up Frances. It's all in fun. And if I wish them to be 'mine', they can be. :p

Recycled many times and still not funny.

No sense of humour here today? Just the critics showed up.

I liked the list.

Love a good joke...just don't find these or the repetitive ones the CD's do very funny.

I think it has more to do with mocking the complainers. There are some 'critics' that show up on this board, but most are whiners, snivelers, and complainers! :) It's all good though as this forum serves it's purpose.

I liked it. We need more funny stuff on these boards. Some people are too serious. Thanks!

Read it twice, smiled the first time; laughed out loud the second time. Thanks for the chuckle!

Tough crowd today here today. It gave me a laugh. Thanks for posting.

I saw it on Facebook yesterday and reposted the list with the comment - "I think I have cruised with some of these people." I was glad to see that you posted it for the people who do not do Facebook or other social media. Having dealt with the "public" for many years, I do believe that these comments may be true. (For example, if you are use to a rocky beach, a very sandy one is a very different one - and I might add a nicer one!)

I saw it on FB earlier this week and laughed.

RALMAO, thank you for sharing :D

I thought it was hilarious and have never seen it before. *shakes head laughing*

I knew it sounded familiar? :D

It's as oft repeated as the CD's old as dirt same jokes.......

Guests questions:

Is this an up or down staircase?

Does the crew sleep aboard?

Does the ship generate its own power?

How do I know which of the photos in the gallery are mine?

When Captain is out and around the ship, who is driving the ship?

On the last night of the cruise, do I put my suitcase out before or after I go to bed?

ETC

:rolleyes: :eek: :cool:

You should always cite the source, not claim it as "yours". :rolleyes:

some of you need to lighten up...Jeez!!!

This is hilarious and thanks for sharing!

And I don't care WHOSE it is....it is still funny!!!

Vicki

And I thought *I* was critical!

i've seen them before also along with some others, but they are still funny. :)
