Cigar King Posted August 15, 2018 Author #1751 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The robes are so fluffy that I have a problem with past cruise pins. :evilsmile: I am also not a fan of the pins. There are to many of them and after a while the weight becomes noticeable. Besides. With all those pointy objects near my person there would seem to be a health risk. Some non-DS Brutus might decide to take matters into their own hand...a little shove later...a tragedy unfolds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine go on a banner that the golds hold high above their heads in front of me to let the minions know that I am approaching...then all gratefully bow and open the lane for me to pass. Rose petals tossed at my feet are always a welcome touch:cool::cool:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted August 15, 2018 #1756 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I heard from a RC HQ inside source that there will soon be a once a sailing D+ parade held immediately after muster. The peons will wave, bow and throw rose petals at our feet, while we get first right to refusal the elevator. If that isn't good enough strive to be a Pinnacle. The Pinnacles will be carried to the upper decks in a Sedan Chair, also known as a Litter, for sail away celebrations. On the upper decks D+ and Pinnacles will be showered with gifts and accolades, while the Golds man the oars on the lower decks and prepare our meal.

You all know what a fan I am of banners, and their use in announcing our presence. I am also having my pins cast into a boxing/wrestling championship style belt. I can then either wear it, say to dinner with my suit, or have my chosen Gold Hype-man carry it raised above his head in front of the banner. Of course as one of my "preferred" Gold's he will also get to clean and turtle wax it. Lucky fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted August 15, 2018 #1759 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Here here, good use of Golds.I agree,these gold's wouldn't enjoy their cruise if they thought they weren't looking after our needs properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Hill Cruisers Posted August 15, 2018 #1760 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Being that the USA is going to establish a Space Force, it has been determined that a Cruising Force shall be established. In this new Cruising Force, passengers will be afforded rank & privileges so that they may self-police themselves and lord it over less experienced cruisers. All passengers are required to join C&A to determine cruising experience. Accordingly, C&A status levels shall be equivalent to military officer rank equivalents (USN / USA-USMC-USAF) as follows: Gold (1st Cruise) = Ensign / Second Lieutenant Gold = Lieutenant Junior Grade / First Lieutenant Platinum = Lieutenant / Captain Emerald = Lt. Commander / Major Diamond = Commander / Lt. Colonel Diamond Plus = Captain / Colonel Pinnacle = Rear Admiral (Lower Half) / Brigadier General There shall be no fraternization between ranks. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bestow it on ourselves and each other. Why would we ever let Royal or any company determine our status? To paraphrase the King a few days ago, "I assume I always feel superior". It is so awesome to be us, and understand everything. My best to all the DS, have a superior day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cigar King Posted August 19, 2018 Author #1768 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Good news gang. No more do we need avail ourselves of the crowded lounges. Royal is going to make the Bridge available as our personal lounge. Drinks and food are available. As an added bonus We'll get to determine where the next stop should be.
