Nope,

Totally agree with this. The one time we did Chef's Table it was ruined by an elderly Pinnacle who arrived late and seemed to think she was queen of the ship. She just wouldn't shut up, even talking during the descriptions of the wines.

In your post you said "the ship will do everything necessary to get you back to the US" This is NOT true. The ship or cruise line may make contact or pass on information but CBP makes the arrangements for re-entry to the US. So, in fact, you did lie, inadvertently or not. As for getting personal?? Who cares?? I would expect nothing less from the ayatollah of decency and morals. ROFL!! consider yourself ignored

Absolutely NOT true. The ship will turn you over to the nearest US state department official and that person will assist with getting you back to the US. A member of our family had their passport stolen in Cozumel (we were with them on that cruise) and that is exactly what the ship did. The procedure was ship gave them the contact details of the port agent, port agent contacted US consulate, at that point all cruise line involvement stopped.

A firm "No Thanks" usually works. If the pitch continues then walk out.

His stuff is very good quality also. We've had several pieces appraised for insurance reasons and each piece was appraised with in a few dollars of what we paid for it.

you are remembering incorrectly

Way too big for use on a cruise ship

Nope, definitely an abridged version

There is no excuse for your son deliberately running into the man from behind. A simple tap on the shoulder should suffice. And how do YOU know he didn't have a hearing problem?

My wife was run over by a drunk, belligerent scooter driver. Major injuries to her foot and ankle, cruise ruined, thousands of $$$ in medical expenses.

Did you ever think maybe the boy had a hearing problem? I wear hearing aides and at times it's difficult to hear someone behind me. Run into me from behind with a scooter and we will have words, strong words. This kind of behavior is what makes people angry at scooter users.

Ok, have it your way, No cruise line or country in Europe is requiring covid testing unless you are arriving from China. Happy now?

there are no testing requirements anywhere in Europe at the moment unless you are arriving from China.

We have only had one bad experience with a charter. There was a very large group from a company called Kiyani. Totally obnoxious, rude bunch who thought they owned the ship. They ran around in packs of 20-30 all the time, taking over venues, blocking stairs and hallways, and even shoving people out of elevators so they could stay together.

Ummmm, Yes, Please post where you got that recommendation?

This is incorrect. We were on Symphony in the western Med also. The requirement at La Spezia was that everybody had to take a shuttle bus from the ship to the port entrance. No excursions were required.

Pretty sure you mean a dual voltage charger,

that's when it's time to speak up and tell the waiter to bring your main course.

this varies depending on the ship. during our last cruise on Vision early seating was 6:30pm, late was 8:30pm

And some beep and holler because they are drunk, rude, or both. The one that ran over my wife was very drunk and had been seen bumping people from behind and screaming "get out of my way" on several different occasions.

yes, we agree it does happen and we agree that some people are very careless around scooters/wheelchairs. Our experience with getting hit by a scooter is the result of a very serious incident that happened a couple years ago.

Not always true, depends on how you booked your ticket.

This! and please don't be one of those people who run into others from behind while beeping your horn and yelling get out of the way. Also, please don't run over someone's foot.

We can understand not wanting to get into conflict with another guest. It's our opinion that this was clearly a situation where a manager should have stepped in when a guest is disturbing other guests with loud noise.
