The thing that we talked about today was the fact that we
have had the last 3 days be aboard ship and how everyone has enjoyed the
relaxation available to everyone! It was
the perfect way to end the cruise.
We were all feeling a little melancholy today but all agree
that it has been the “trip of a lifetime” according to Cameron. We are going to remember this for a long time
and for all the best reasons. Being able
to share this experience with our entire family has been a dream come true for
the Commodore and me. The experiences
and laughs will amuse us for years!
Another good day for our trivia team! We won!!
Another gripping drama with a tie-breaker question and we
prevailed! We now own Princess travel
wallets! Hooray!
Speaking of trivia……we had a little bit of a rough time
yesterday with one of the cruise staff named “Drake”! He’s a bald pipsqueak with huge horn-rimmed
glasses that are as big as his attitude!
He accused the trivia audience of being drunk, having too much trivia
and being uncooperative! Brian got
really irked and left and went to the Purser’s desk to write a comment card on
Drake’s attitude. Later in the day Drake
stopped Brian and me on our way to the elevators to “explain” his style. I told him he took all the fun out of the
game and was incredibly rude to the audience.
He said that was his “style” and we just didn’t understand. He also said he had no other complaints. He will get plenty of feedback when we all
fill in our end of cruise surveys.
Drake had heard that Brian had called his boss but what he
didn’t know was that Brian had called for a different reason!! Haha!
Poor Theresa had a close encounter with some crazy Oriental women at the photo gallery. They were apparently put out because T had Amy with her and felt that it was a "cut" in line. T tried to explain that she and Amy were together but the women would have nothing of it and became very loud and aggressive. Poor T and Amy finally got their business done but after Amy left the women came back with a third woman and pointed T out and said "that's the rude woman"!! What a terrible thing to happen on the last night. They were probably hitting the brewski's too hard!!
We’ve had great service from nearly everyone onboard. Our dining room waiter was wonderful as was
his assistant. Gerardo and Mio. The dining room captain, Marcel, and a buffet
stewardess named “Meow” from Thailand who has spoiled us rotten!! Great people who genuinely enjoy what they
are doing. Our room steward, Stewart,
who flies home to Bulgaria tomorrow was patient and kind to all of us and
worked around all our messes!! A true
hero!
The Commodore and I will be back on this ship in March of
2014 and I hope that many of these wonderful folks will either still be here or
back here from their vacations. Crossing
my fingers that Drake get assigned to the SS Minnow.
We are one of the early groups off tomorrow and then we will
find all our luggage to make the trip back to the East Bay on our hired
bus.
Thanks for following along and giving me some of your
time. It’s appreciated.
XOXOXOXO
