Mitey Posted October 27, 2016 #76 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Port and government taxes that seem completely random. The charges for port intensive cruises are sometimes less than cruises to nowhere. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyinpa Posted October 27, 2016 #77 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I also hate when there is a a question posted about packing, and someone responds with that tired, old line about half the clothes and twice the money. This does not make you seem clever. its also wrong . i planned on 9 shirts for the week. i would stink pretty bad if i just brought along 4.5 shirts:eek:..and we dont even wanna talk about half the underthings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMH15 Posted October 27, 2016 #79 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The threads that I hate the most are on tipping, service charge, whatever you want to call it. Especially the ones where posters do elaborate calculations of what the stewards, servers, butlers, concierges, etc. make in total and then use that as some sort of justification as to why their measly tip, or lack thereof, is actually appropriate.

luckyinpa Posted October 27, 2016 #80 Share Posted October 27, 2016 So you are not one of those who like to boast of living a couple of weeks on a cruise ship followed by two weeks traveling in Europe with just one carry-on bag. if i ever had that much money to do that, i certainly would be more reclusive. i hate being the center of attention. even preferring corner seats in restaurants vs middle of the room. now regarding carry ons..HOLY COW. i saw some that were huge. i'm definitely not a seasoned traveler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swells1 Posted October 27, 2016 #84 Share Posted October 27, 2016 It's more common on the general boards than here on NCL, but some people get down right mad at the idea of someone cruising without a passport.

luckyinpa Posted October 27, 2016 #87 Share Posted October 27, 2016 regarding the water comment. i'm a heavy drinker and if allowed i would have brought on a case. i ordered a 12 pack from NCL for 60 bucks.brought 5 or 6 bottles home makes me wonder how many people who NEED their water really do because did not need all that. but i do wish they knocked the prices at least in half It's more common on the general boards than here on NCL, but some people get down right mad at the idea of someone cruising without a passport. I have an image of Aunt Pittypat sitting at a desk, clutching her pearls. when checking in at the haven desk, we gave the woman our passport cards. she did say 'oh you just have a passport card' and we thought we were gonna get yelled at or something. but i guess they just have to tell you about the flying thing and you must sign a form regarding it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macanudo23 Posted October 27, 2016 #89 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Mine 2 are....... The people who complain about Chair Hogs.....gets very annoying! The people who ask about bringing their friends and family into the Haven Courtyard area when they are not in a Haven room then complain about it when they find out they cant.

NLH Arizona Posted October 27, 2016 #90 Share Posted October 27, 2016 In addition to "bait and switch", it is "false advertising". I just wish folks would read two things: One is the cruise contract and two is the laws surrounding these two accusations and then hopefully we would have less posters waiving them around incorrectly.

suffield12 Posted October 27, 2016 #92 Share Posted October 27, 2016 People who apparently believe that it is fine to ignore requested standards and posted rules if the crew fails to aggressively enforce them. Yes! And passengers who think 2 weeks sat in o'sheenans makes them competent enough to pass judgement on the crew and officers who spend years training in their proffesion. An example during the muster drill on the breakaway. Loud mouthed woman 'tut, the captain on here doesn't have a clue what he's doing, I've been sat here for 15 minutes. He's dangerous' me 'shut up, the master and officers have undergone more exams than you've had hot dinners!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets tiring to read the same old thinly veiled personal agenda after a while. Yeah. I joined CC to share in the excitement of cruising and get tips. It's quickly heading to a board full of people moaning and bitching. I sometimes wonder if there are two cruise lines called NCL.

Buford T Justiice Posted October 27, 2016 #94 Share Posted October 27, 2016 My number on gripe on the NCL Board here at CC is: In many threads, after the first page or two the posters turn on each other like ravenous dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tempus137 Posted October 28, 2016 #97 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I hate the ones who semi-hijack a thread. They don't change the topic completely, but also don't answer the OP's question. OP: Does the Jade have a piano bar or a movie screen by the pool? Semi-hijacker: My favorite spot on the Jade is the Buffet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted October 28, 2016 #98 Share Posted October 28, 2016 My biggest gripe on any cruise is parents who allow their children to run wild. Last two cruises 8, 9, and 10 year old's at 7 P.M. were playing Hide and Seek in either the buffet or in the Specialty Dining Rooms. On the last cruise a 10 year old girl broke her arm sliding down the banister in one of the staircases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl I was referring to was on a Norwegian cruise a couple of weeks ago. College Spring Break college students are a breed on to themselves.
