david_sobe Posted April 23, 2016 #51 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I may be in the minority but as a latitudes member I requested our housekeeping attendant to stop putting chocolates on the pillow. I just don't get that. When I get back to the cabin and ready for bed, I don't want melted chocolate all over my teeth before bed :eek: We did not want to waste them by throwing them away so asked him to stop leaving chocolates. I can deal with cut backs as long as the prices stay the same. But what annoys me with FDR is the amount of cut backs with huge price increases at the same time. However after a year of steady price increases the prices are coming down. Maybe just maybe we will slowly see some perks coming back? Ha ha...maybe I'm just too optimistic :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayhooper Posted April 23, 2016 #52 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I call BS on the no smiling crew members. My experience was there were some crew members that didn't look happy but there are always people who are having a bad day or just simply don't enjoy their job. It isn't unique to cruising. Most of the crew that we encountered were smiling and very pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachMartini Posted April 23, 2016 #53 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I don't miss "lobster" night in the least. If you want to call those little spiny things lobsters, go for it. Never understood all the excitement over them. Come visit me in New England and I'll be glad to take you out for a real lobster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilmo Posted April 23, 2016 #54 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Maybe the unsmiling crew faces are just reflecting what they see:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdsted Posted April 23, 2016 #55 Share Posted April 23, 2016 This one is easy. Sail with another line if you're unhappy with the changes. NCL works for us. I do have to disagree about a drop in crew quality though. We go on at least 2 NCL cruises yearly and have never been unsatisfied with the overall service provided. Not once.

cruisemainiac Posted April 24, 2016 #59 Share Posted April 24, 2016 I don't care about the box of chocolates. Why you ask because DW emphasis on D sticks here finger in the bottom of each one to see what it is. Haven't had a chocolate from a box in years, c'est la vie. As far as mints in pillows getting in your hair, when it happens to your sister-in-law it's funny, I don't care who you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveH2508 Posted April 24, 2016 #60 Share Posted April 24, 2016 <snip> I've chatted with so many stewards, bartenders Ect... over the years that the overwhelming majority resign a contract. <snip> I had to re-read this sentence three times before I got it (the missing hyphen i.e. re-sign). I thought you were scaring all the crew away!;) Amazing the difference one punctuation mark makes to the meaning of a sentence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNora Posted April 24, 2016 #61 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Last time I heard of the all you can eat lobster at the buffet was on my June 2014 cruise. I don't know the date they stopped it. I don't really eat that but my family loved it. We did July of 2014 and it was gone. But they served us whole lobs in Haven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
