    I went for many job interviews and was told you have wonderful qualifications but you will have to shave your beard.I refused and was out of work for quite some time.In total frustration I took out my Brooklyn Yellow Pages directory ,closed my eyes and open the book to the middle.I took a finger and called the number.I asked if they had any job openings.The person who answered the phone said all hiring is done at their Manhattan office.I called ,got an interview and was hired on the spot with my ponytail and hair down to my belly.They never asked me to get a haircut or shave my beard.I worked there 25 years.I did trim my hair and beard 6 years later .

     

    Picture please.

    We're doing Nachi Cocum in Cozumel; doing the catamaran/snorkel/sting ray swim in Montego Bay, and probably do a walk about in Grand Cayman. That's what we have planned so far. That may change though as we've not paid for any excursions yet...too soon to tell. 🙏

     

    I could NOT get waited on at Nachi Cocum. I had to go up to a waiter and ask for a drink. Very annoying. I left early. Better service on the ship.

  3. The staff there is not well trained. I had a letter stating I was to receive a complimentary dinner in the steakhouse and to go to the desk to schedule. The lady read the letter 5 times and still didn't see I was to have a complimentary dinner.   I pointed it out to her and she was just baffled. 

     

    Ask 2 of the people working that desk and you'll get at least 3 different answers.

    Even if it's the same menu item, they can vary from ship to ship on how they are prepared.  We have loved one thing on say the Magic and then have it again on say the Glory and wasn't anything like the first time.

     

    I was on a ship and the food was just awful. Always cold when it should have been hot. No amount of "complaining" changed anything.  Went on same hip 6 months later and food was fabulous.  I asked if they had a new cook and the answer was yes.

    Ok, thanks! It's a 6 night, same as my last one on the Conquest. My last cruise we went to Nassau, Half Moon, Grand Turk, and Amber Cove. This time on Freedom we're going to Cozumel, Roatan, and Costa Maya. 

    I'm surprising my kids this time, it's their Christmas gift, so it's killing me not to be able to talk about it all day lol

     

    That has to be hard, trying to keep a secret.

    OT:  The weekend before Mother's Day many years ago I kept hearing someone yelling help while I sat in my TV room. It went on for a few hours. No one else heard it until finally my daughter heard it too.  I told her to call 911--maybe a beam fell on a construction worker or something.  I went running to the sound and found a man holding his 18 month old named AJ upside down. He had pulled him from the pool.  

     

    The baby wasn't breathing. I started CPR and told parents to guide 911 in as we lived in new development and streets were not on maps as yet. 

     

    Finally after a long time he spit up what seemed like gallons of water and began to whimper.  I carried him to the front yard to wait for 911. I put him on the course grass. Neighbors told me I was being so mean.  told the I wanted him stimulated and crying.  He was taken to the hospital where he stayed overnight.

     

    Today he is a manager in a Publix.
