It's definitely not a servers job to fetch your flip flops. How about you give the guy a break.

It was a very hot day. My wife was reading and I needed to cool off. I said , I am going down the slide and dip in the pool. I slid down the slide and cooled off in the pool. As I started back up the stairs , my bare feet were on fire. I jump from shaded spot to shaded spot trying to get back up to the serenity deck. I couldn’t make it. The deck was hot enough to fry an egg. I flagged down a waiter and tried explaining to him my predicament. It took a few tries to make him understand. I needed him to go up and retrieve my flip flops. He comes back down with my flip flops on a tray. My wife said a guy just came up here and took your flip flops lol. That waiter received a very nice tip. From now on , I hold my flip flops across my chest when going down the slide. I learned this on the Horizon. My foot hurt for the rest of the day, but the fun I had made me almost forget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am quite tired of the tenor of some of their posts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moongal Posted March 15, 2019 #33 Share Posted March 15, 2019 My goodness, y'all must be a bunch of tenderfoots from the frigid North! I've walked across the decks in middle of July barefoot and didn't notice a thing. Felt just as cool and comfy as carpet. Lol I guess it comes from years of going barefoot in the hot summers on hot pavement in S. Texas. I remember reading about this very thing before one of our cruises and I made all the kids pack water shoes and water socks, but we all did not see the need for them. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coevan Posted March 15, 2019 #34 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Deck 11 around the track is always extremely hot, Lido deck, not so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdiver Posted March 16, 2019 #35 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Lol, moongal, I know you know how hot the pavement can get here in the summer. I grew up popping tar bubbles in the street with my feet. However, as I grew to adulthood & started wearing shoes more often, I noticed my feet are not as tough as they once were. I'll keep my flip flops with me!

OCruisers Posted March 17, 2019 #36 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Even very good water shoes tend to be hot & itchy once wet and out of the water. Flip Flops work great for walking on hot decks, etc. ... cool on the top & protected on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not the server's job, but how nice for him to go above and beyond to give good service. Well said! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
