Cigar King Posted November 6, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 6, 2017 This morning when I arrived at work I asked where the D+ priority boarding was. Unfortunately it was a mess and I had to ride in an elevator that was not only for D+ employees. I earned this status, and this started my whole work day off wrong. I'm going to ask for some additional credit as reparations. I did ask to see another employee's ID to see if they were allowed to use the coffee machine. They looked at me funny and refused to show me their ID. I intend to report this when I see the captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted November 6, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I guess I'm a victim of the Loyalty Matching program at my work. Everyone is coming in as Diamond! I've been on the job 10 years and started when there was 13 of us, stayed loyal till it went down to 3 and I put off surgery. But as young people move on to other opportunities, new people are hired in at higher pay and they bargain additional vacation that took me 10 years to earn. I guess I should get three 3 drinks between 3pm and quitting time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mil76 Posted November 6, 2017 #5 Share Posted November 6, 2017 One thing I do notice is that Star Class gets even better service off the ship. When the guy in the corner suite shows up to the coffee lounge, the other passengers either gladly let him go to the front of the queue, or in many cases they even leave the lounge altogether!

Ocean Boy Posted November 7, 2017 #12 Share Posted November 7, 2017 No way is anyone going to tell me how much to tip the mailman. What happens if I don't get any mail. Will they automatically reduce the gratuities charged to me since I was not provided any service? I will tip as I see fit. And if the mailman does not go out of his way to provide excellent service such as reading my mail to me I might stiff him, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted November 7, 2017 #18 Share Posted November 7, 2017 In the water cooler is the water D+ or just D water ? You have to swipe your seapass to get the water out. If your card doesn't activate the flow you are out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nerve! Have you noticed how they have cheaped out with the envelopes? They have *holes* in them AND they are being reused. I remember in the good old days when the mail came in a real envelope, lovingly sealed with spittle. Not any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar King Posted November 7, 2017 Author #25 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I wear all my C&A pins around the office. I earned them. I also nailed a spare on my door so my office attendant, who I am planning on tipping on my last day, knows just who I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
