Blizzard54 Posted March 4, 2018 #2476 Share Posted March 4, 2018 OMG...did they ever finally finish that scrubber progject? Bucky talked to one of the contractors one night on deck who was off duty. He said it was supposed to be a six month project...obviously that went way, way over the planned six months! :eek: Last year I spoke to a couple guys working on the Liberty scrubbers. They were onboard figuring out how to convert the oversized pumps that had been installed to a lower pressure. Evidently the engineering was faulty.

Rare island lady Posted March 4, 2018 #2479 Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) You have entirely missed the point. Thanks...I am good at that. :D:cool: I bring a few "prohibited" water bottles on board also. But if security questions me, I would never lie about it..and have in fact happily showed them my 6-8 bottles for inspection. They happily gave them back to me and waved me on. Go figure, eh? Now what was that point again? ;) :DSorry...just messing with you. I will go hang my head in the corner now.

reallyitsmema Posted March 4, 2018 #2487 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It was for the first time on our June 2017 cruise on Freedom out of Barcelona. Nice try. Until June on Freedom in Barcelona i used to just carry it on with a pack of water but in June they had a desk port side with security sign saying no beer so i went back to duty free put the beer in hand luggage and walked past security up the gangway and onto the ship. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?p=54249439&highlight=beer#post54249439 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just went back downstairs saying we were taking them back to shop then put the cans in a hand case and went back up and walked straight past him and up the gangway to the ship no more checks except card when we got on ship.

Blizzard54 Posted March 4, 2018 #2491 Share Posted March 4, 2018 On our last few cruises the concierge's have not moved from their desks and mixed with guests and they certainly seem scared to say anything in this case.A couple of years ago the DL lady concierge was brilliant and spent most of the time talking to guests. We had a great relationship with her and took her to dinner on the last night after cocktail hours. We have noticed that with some of the concierges over the last couple years. A few of them spend a lot of time on their computers. Most are out and about mingling. In one lounge the bartender had to leave from time to time to get supplies. When he was gone people had to wait for his return to got a drink. One passenger started to pour his own drink and that was the only time I ever saw that concierge get out from behind his desk. Fortunately most of the concierges are not like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted March 4, 2018 #2493 Share Posted March 4, 2018 As in Monty Python? :D Monty was the nickname of our city football club goalkeeper. My mam and dad continued keeping cats and dogs until they they both died November 2nd 2011(mam) March 5th 2012(dad). Their cat was called lewis and one of their neighbours asked for him so we let him stay with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never critised anyone for bringing onboard what is allowed and beer was until then. I always get them in the duty free at Barcelona and carry them in the duty free bag. At the top of the elevator there was a board saying no beer which they had just started.I was waived on with the Perrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal would need to make dress codes more than a suggestion before enforcing. If they start forcing people to wear Suits and Ties to MDR or Dinner, they will lose lots of cruisers. Confrontation....

If someone is constantly going to post about bringing on something that is on the prohibited list, like beer or water, it is hypocritical to then harass someone else for bringing on something they shouldn't.

I don't think they would or should enforce jackets and ties in the Mdr. I think they should enforce the people that come scruffy to the Mdr and a swimsuit in the Dl is a bit much.
