  1. Spout off all you would like, however a common carrier is not responsible for contraband; which this was
  2. A sure-fire recipe to make the situation worse; drive it underground
  3. Show me where it states where the money goes? As long as it says "Other personnel" then it is arbitrary and I will not participate. I have NEVER advocated questioning the staff in any way, I am not sure why you brought that up in a reply to me You do you
  4. Your scenario would have merit if the land based charged a pre determined amount to your bill before services were received. As it is, you are comparing apples and oranges. It's not about the n=money, it is about the secret arbitrary system
  5. Not petty, accurate they don’t request or ask; they require
  6. Yes, EU policies are indeed different that NA; my post was specific to NA bookings.
  7. The lines do pay a living wage, just not for living in the USA; which is appropriate
  8. not necessarily, there are mandatory gratuities that are not part of advertised fare
  9. On oasis class ships, smoothies at Vitality cafe are included with the refreshment package.
  10. In 25 years, I have never been charged a fuel surcharge even once, and fuel cost throughout the time has certainly been higher than they are now
  11. This procedure works great for me and I lose no sleep over it and feel very comfortable that I’ve done the right thing
  12. Unfortunately the maid at home only comes twice a week; but when she does there are plenty towels to launder.
  13. No, you don’t get it; you stated that you can’t compare the cruise employee pay to military (on post) pay. This is wrong, they are exactly the same in what is base pay, and what is benefits (allowances)
  14. If you live on post (like a cruise ship) there is no housing allowance If you live on post you are given a meal card (like a cruise ship) there is no food allowance. Actual Pay is $1400
  15. Hmm, i got the $1200 figure from one of your posts, you stated the "minimum wage for any sea farer from any nation working a minimum of 70 hours per week is about $1200 per month" - this was from a post in May
