Rare cruisequeen4ever Posted December 6, 2015 #177 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I used to never have a problem in the Suite/Elite line, but last summer on the Grand, it was horrible. This poor boy of about 11 years old was 100% ignored, and my mother-in-law was, too. The Pax Services Rep was downright rude when I called him out on it. My mother-in-law spoke with his supervisor, and she personally manned the Suite/Elite line the rest of the cruise (during her shifts) and provided impeccable customer service.

suzyed Posted December 7, 2015 #178 Share Posted December 7, 2015 It's funny. All this talk about Elite and Diamond status yet the only time I got invited to meet and hang out with the captain was my one lonely cruise on Holland America. We had no status at all. I'll never know how I made that list but it turned out to be a great time and throughout the rest of the cruise we kept seeing the captain and he would come over and joke around with us. People kept looking at us funny. (Maybe some jealous Elites? ) 😀 On our very first NCL cruise, we went to the Suite Party and met the captain there...the next day we got an invite to meet with the Captain on the Bridge and spend some time up there! He was a very gracious host and we were thrilled to be invited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wblynch Posted December 7, 2015 #180 Share Posted December 7, 2015 In about six weeks I will be RUBY on Princess! Does that mean I can stand in line and wave my card shouting, "I'm Ruby, dammit!" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean I can stand in line and wave my card shouting, "I'm Ruby, dammit!" :D Of course it does! Just let everyone on your Roll Call know when you're going to do that so they can take videos of all the reactions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Knew Posted December 7, 2015 #182 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Feeling the need to defend lanyard wearers (okay, maybe just me). :D I do wear a lanyard...the stretch "phone cord" kind from the casino. LOVE those! I have my card punched and put it on that and wear it like a lanyard. I do this because I don't want to lose it as I am apt to do and I won't leave it behind in a casino machine as I am also apt to do. I don't usually wear pockets and don't carry a purse onboard. And, if I left it in a pocket, it would stay there, even through change of clothing, etc., lol. So, it stays around my neck from morning until I go to bed at night. So, not all of us are trying to show off, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMan Posted December 7, 2015 #183 Share Posted December 7, 2015 -checking their folio- exchanging money -paying in cash -changing their credit card -dropping off letters for the ship's officers I guess a different world than I live in. Never had the need and why the volume? What raised my eye though is dropping off letters to the ships officers. Why? Navigation advise? Comments on the amount of starch in the laundry? Someone said a bad word in entertainment? Love interersts? I have this image of the officers in the back looking at these over a coffee and just shaking their heads with their head resting on their palm.

wblynch Posted December 7, 2015 #188 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Or maybe even commending some great staff I have stood in line to do that. Especially on our last Ruby Princess cruise.

What makes you think that everything that goes on at the Passenger Services Desk is a complaint? I've gone there to ask a question about something I didn't understand for example. Same way with letters to ship's officers! It could be a thank you letter for something that a member of the crew had done for the cruiser, or maybe thanking the officer for being a part of the ship's tour the person could have been on. Or maybe the officer was being thanked for being at a meet & greet, did you ever think of that? I'm happy that I apparently do live in a different world than you do!

bhopal21 Posted December 8, 2015 #192 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I had dropped by on the first day to ask that the gratuities be increased and signed a form stating so; but they took them off instead. They found the form and corrected it. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little lanyard really helps to remind you by dangling out of the card holder slot when playing and moving from one machine to the next not to forget it. I too seldom wear shirts with pockets ( NEVER) and find it very convenient to know where my cruise card is when needed (like for about anything you do on the ship!). We also NEVER leave our cabin without both of us having our card with us, because you never know if one wants to do something while the other branches off to do something else leaving you without access to your cabin or purchasing if you did not have it with you. Just convenience, pure and simple. I could care less what "status" someone else is (or is not) , and can't help but wonder about anyone whos life is so shallow they need to be concerned with what mine is while on vacation. There is SO MUCH MORE TO DO AND ENJOY while on your cruise!!! :) If it bothers you to see a lanyard around my neck because it works for me, you need more than just a cruise....

And when a friend and I cruise on the Golden Princess, we will both be wearing lanyards to keep our Cruise Cards on us. We're both using to wearing them for work, and we both tuck the lanyard inside our shirt for discretion if a key is attached to the lanyard. Because of handicaps, it's the most practical way for me to carry my key with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelMagnolia9 Posted December 8, 2015 #195 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I was on my first Princess cruise this summer to Alaska and I wore my card in a lanyard on the ship because I have a tendency to misplace them on a cruise. Another person's loyalty status on a cruise line is not even on my 'radar screen' when I am on a cruise. My observation: A number of posters on this thread seem to be very focused on their loyalty status to the extent that I read they are concealing their card for 'discretion' (!) or stating they are not 'showing off' by wearing their card in a lanyard. FYI: The average cruiser, like me, is not thinking about loyalty levels of others while on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sonomaphil Posted December 8, 2015 #197 Share Posted December 8, 2015 My own opinion and not directed at anyone in particular, will all due respect, bless their hearts....I could care less about loyalty status I see on people wearing a lanyard. The problem with lanyards is they make people look like dorks. If you can't keep track of one lousy card on a cruise ship how in the heck do you function in the real world?

Rare TracieABD Posted December 8, 2015 #198 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I am not, and never will be a lanyard person... I have little wristlets that do the trick--- and since they are not transparent wristlets, no one knows my status. Problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
