I am behind as you know I am sorta dealing with heavy personal issues but I have been meaning to mention that when I sailed Vista two years ago, we were also in an end forward cabin on a secret deck and our “high wind” sign never came down for 5 minutes the entire week, even when we were docked in Mexico with warm sunny days and no wind whatsoever. It was room 6206.
Therefore we commenced civil disobedience signwise roughly at the midpoint of the cruise and helped ourselves to the bench whenever we felt like it. We weren’t the only ones as occasionally (rarely) we could hear someone head out there.
