Thanks,

Kathy

T'erds is a word constructed by my Bajan friends, being a combination of two words

Towels and Herds.  The T from Towels and 'erds from Herds to describe some tourists.

 

TOWELS:

Arrive by the cheapest means; deliberately take the most annoying spot on the beach to spoil a view of paying clients; spread the ship's Towles; constantly repeat the mantra "beaches are free" like a demented parrot; do not spend anything at the resort; bring food and drink browsed from the ship's buffet, all wrapped in a ship's napkin; bury their picnic debris in the sand; use the sea, beach and all the venue's facilities for free; if there is charge for toilets, decline and use the sea; return to the ship by the cheapest means.

Then when back in the Ship boast they spent the day at Carambola (Kim Sha et al) taking lunch and drinks there.

 

 

HERDS:

Arrive loudly en masse; stay loudly; have shouting conversations on their mobiles, or with other herd members, albeit 2 feet or 20 yards way; bring coolers full of Supermarket bought beer and food, then demand ice for free; bring boom boxes and play on highest volume; sometimes pay for beds but insist a colony of friends is created; complain about the price of venue's food as the reason for buying a single slice of pizza.

Seek to use Hotel or Beach facilities for free, failing that, turn the sea into a Urinal (aka going for a swim)

Abuse or ridicule other guests, and members of the venue's staff, solely for the group's amusement.

Basically, it's a group who knowingly do everything possible to spoil the genteel ambience of the venue, and to annoy as many people as it is physically possible.

Then leave loudly en masse.

 

Other items of annoyance can be added to each of the above definitions as required.

There’s another….

S.H.T.

S = Ship Crew - Noisy variety 

H = Herds

T = Towels

Port Royal-thanks. I'll continue to read the posts for recommendations.

Do you have any info about excursions on any of the other islands or only St. Kitts?

Kathy

Do you know if St. Kitts still has a Piranha Joe's t-shirt store in town?

No idea on PJ Store.  

With regard to excursions, there are many discussions and recommendations under the Island’s thread on CC.  If requiring information not immediately available, then just post the question.  Someone will reply.

Is there any difference in the crew “rowdy” level based on the companies in port that day? I ask because when I worked for Celebrity we joked about how there was a pay to fun ratio. Basically, the lower the pay the more fun you had as crew or the other way around more pay but stricter rules.

No idea… But Palm Court Gardens did not charge an admission fee for Ship Crew.  It proved to be very popular.

I might not have been clear. Celebrity paid crew more so we tended to be less rowdy than our colleagues on say carnival whose base pay was less.

S.H.T. Is still S.H.T., regardless of a salary level, albeit crew or pax.  Financial standing, or lack of it, has no relevance when it comes to S.H.T.
