(my emphasis) I heard from friends in the business that the free shakedown cruise was invited guests- sounded like a lot of TA's were onboard.

He said that over a third of the books on this ship are already missing. Unbelievable. Um, not to try to start a war here, but if you are on a 14-day TA, and no one has really left the ship for good (other than Shore Excursions) how can you possibly have a third of the books "missing?" Yes, a third can be borrowed by current passengers, but "missing" is probably not the best word for that situation. After passengers debark in Ft. Lauderdale, except, of course, for those continuing on another B2B leg, then "missing" might be more accurate. This just makes it seem so awful, which it might not really be at this point. And, no, I do not think that no one would dare to remove a book permanently, but I believe it is way too soon to make that kind of judgement. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of vendors and others onboard at the shipyard and preview events before she sailed. She also did a 4 night shakedown cruise with a full load of invited guests.

There’s also no mention of any pickle ball play. 😞 Tomorrow’s Where and When has “meet for a game of pickle ball” at 4 pm at the Sports Court on deck 11. So maybe it doesn’t use the basketball court? So nice you could have dinner with Captain Albert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the extra weight, it would be nice to think that most people's morales are better than that. 😞 After 12 years working at our small local library, it still amazes me that people will steal things that they can borrow for free. Granted most of the missing items are due to forgetfulness and/or carelessness but the monetary loss is the same. And it's not just the original price of the book, there's the replacement cost of the item and the staff time needed to reorder and catalog the new one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s apparently old friends with two of my table mates Donna and Ike. We had an open seat at the table and he just came and plopped himself down. I was super impressed with him. What a nice man and full of great stories!! A thoroughly enjoyable meal. What a treat!! Very exciting. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkacruiser Posted December 9, 2018 #525 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Excellent photos and I appreciate the reading the reports of those aboard this new ship. Disappointed in the news about the book situation, however. Ought we start a "Hire Librarians Campaign"? Whether there is an official book exchange area or not, I am going to be leaving whatever books that I have finished rather than hauling them off the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
