Cigar King Posted July 16, 2018 Author #1551 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Often the Captain begs us to use his cabin but I prefer the Penthouse suite.Any non DS in nearby suites are moved when a DS is in residence. Agreed. The captain's cabin is too much like an office and that reminds me of work. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted July 16, 2018 Author #1552 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I was blessed to be in the King's presence last December. Even if I was playing barmaid. It was a "once in a lifetime" I'm afraid. (Although, since then I graduated to Platinum!) Being in the King's presence is indeed a gift. Now bring us another round of drinks! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted July 16, 2018 #1554 Share Posted July 16, 2018 We did both the Vision and the Adventure. I liked them both. Actually SJU might be my favorite port. You start out on vacation, where as when you leave from the states (We travel in December and February) it can take a day or so to reach the really nice weather. One couple doing eight B2Bs from New Hampshire on Jewel last year out of SJ told us it was cheaper to fly for them to fly to SJU than to any of the Florida ports. :confused::o Not to mention cruises seem to be cheaper out of SJ anyway.

Cigar King Posted July 16, 2018 Author #1555 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I think the only place that we can occasionally fly into cheap is Newark. Other than that, airfare seems to be the same, no matter where we fly domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted July 16, 2018 #1556 Share Posted July 16, 2018 As a DS we don't need to bother with scheduling and paying for flights. This falls into the category of not my concern.:D ((yea don't I wish)). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted July 17, 2018 #1559 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Very dense fog up here in Downeast Maine right now. Where are the golds with the vacumn cleaner to clear this out??!! :o:confused::( Hmmm...maybe they are hiding down below eating lobster sticks. ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted July 17, 2018 Author #1560 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Why aren't the Golds outside waving their arms to move the fog away? Even a simple task like controlling the weather often gets the best of them. Seriously, they're slackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there an Emerald, who acts as coordinator for the golds whom should be pulling out the people on their first cruise who don't know they are gold?

When we were coming up in through the ranks we knew the chain of command and the responsibilities for each level. Platinum and Emeralds need to be held accountable for the actions (or lack of) of Gold members! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 17, 2018 #1564 Share Posted July 17, 2018 When I checked in today for my flight to Alaska I gave them the D+ wink. They immediately bumped me and my group of 3 to business class for both legs of our trip. Three of us are D+, and they waved the Emerald member through with us. Membership has its privileges.

That's what I am afraid of...I just found crumbs of lobster sticks trailing towards the bilge.

Cigar King Posted July 17, 2018 Author #1575 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I wonder if we Royal would consider changing the level from Gold to Plebe? Perhaps that's the next rumor to start. Hey everybody. I heard they were going to kick all the D+ out of the concierge lounge and turn it into the Plebe lounge. They're also moving it to deck 0, to make it easier to row.
