Mikeatl75 Posted October 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Maybe I'm just a relaxed, laid back person that is happy to be on the right side of the grass and that's why i don't get the constant complaining some of my fellow cruisers do. I just dont get it! One couple complaining about the room being under a pool and hearing noises......you booked your room under a pool! One person said the people next door were playing cards at 2 a.m. and it was loud.......You're on a cruise and some people like have a good time! The food wasn't great....you're basically on a floating soup kitchen feeding 5000 people. It's to crowded in the windjammer. .....it's 8 billion other places on the ship to eat! Drinks are to expensive. ....stay home! Internet sucks.....you're in the middle of the ocean and should be enjoying the trip anyway instead of updating your Facebook. The people next to us in the Mdr were laughing loud.....people do realize that this the only time of year some of these people get together, let them enjoy themselves!!!!!! People need to enjoy things a little more, life is short no need to keep a stick up your butt. Now legitimate issues yes complain, but some of you go waaaayyyyy to far!

iuki Posted October 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I agree. No cruise or vacation is perfect. Some are better than others. Don't sweat the small stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickels Posted October 5, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I agree with Mikeatl75 1,000%; you should read some of the "complaints" that are posted here on Cruise Critic. You will shake your head and ask yourself, "are they serious?" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeatl75 Posted October 5, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I think people who complain the whole cruise are worse than the couple that argues the whole cruise..... are the sun, ocean sounds, and unlimited food making you mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising Golfer Posted October 5, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I want to complain about, not complaining and the total lack of complaining that goes on. Oh wait I have no complaints... Sorry... :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedl Posted October 5, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Back in 2004, I was in a GS on the Mariner of the Seas. We hung out in the CL a few mornings chatting with the concierge and eating the breakfast. There was a couple in the CL who had taken 20 cruises on Royal. They were complaining about everything in the ship. Food, room size, people, other customers, etc. etc. etc. After the third day of this, I finally asked them why do they cruise if they hate it so much? Well they said that they enjoy the cruise. But what they really enjoyed was complaining. Unless there is something really wrong (too hot in my cabin, etc.) I usually let things slide. A day on a cruise ship is still better than a day at work. The only thing I complain about is having to get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grand isle joe Posted October 5, 2016 #11 Share Posted October 5, 2016 ..............next time take a good look around at your fellow cruisers on the ship......for some cruising is ALL they have in life. That is why this foolish "rewards" system is so important. It gives status to a life that is probably mundane and boring. "Little things bother little minds" as the saying goes. As Mike states "happy to be on the right side of the grass". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfganghowell Posted October 5, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 5, 2016 There was a recent Liberty review titled "Worst Experience of my life". Methinks they have led a very charmed and sheltered existence if a CRUISE qualified for this honor. Some people just aren't happy unless they're miserable.

TC1957 Posted October 5, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I have discovered a wonderful tool for those times when someone near me is complaining too much, arguing with seemingly anyone with a pulse, etc. I move to a different seat or location. It's their life, it they want to spend it that way it's up to them. Besides, the cardiovascular exercise of me moving will do me good :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

temple1 Posted October 5, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I have to agree that too many people get off a cruise and are all of a sudden they become Peter Greenberg and some of you know what he thinks of mains stream cruise lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenofKrakatoa Posted October 5, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 5, 2016 How far up your a$$ does the silver spoon need to be in order to think a cruise could be the worst experience of your life? Meanwhile children in Syria are being blown apart by barrel bombs. But please, tell us about how the cabin attendant was rude because they didn't tie your shoelaces for you. Smh.

sparlkes Posted October 6, 2016 #21 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I was sitting on the Explorer last week, waiting for the show to begin, and listened to a lady behind me complaining because there were wrinkles in her pillowcases in her cabin!
