Rude passengers!!!

[Clodia]

I always ask for a table to myself at breakfast though I like to socialise at dinner and lunch, because I'm allergic to baked beans (or the virulent tomato sauce they're cooked in) and the sight and smell of them makes me ill. After enduring a couple of breakfast on tables for 8 praying that no one would order the vile things I now have a word with the Head Waiter at the first breakfast and they always find me a table for 2.

Mmm yes yes yes to kippers. Love the taste so much. But their smell.....increasingly as I get older I need a stronger early morning stomach for that!

We have had no trouble getting a table for 2 for breakfast. Im a sociable person but like to ease into the day,,

Breakfast in the MDR is such a nice relaxed experience..plus the Bircher muesli is delicious.

I can only recall one unpleasant passenger, a couple of years ago on Arcadia we were sat in the rear of the Crows Nest having a coffee (Too early in the day for a cocktail apparently)  The daily Knit and Natter mob had just turned up and sat a few tables away. One of the lovely old ladies (Shame on you if it was you!) ordered a cup of tea and was served it as a cup of hot water with the strung tea bag on the side, she flew into one verbally with the waitress "Stupid Girl, haven't you been taught how to do this properly, take it away and do it again" This was loud enough for everyone to hear. Personally I would have helped her wear it and I am Mr Mild Manners (most of time)

 

Manners like this are not deserved by anyone.

 

I have never had cause to talk to a crew member like this and indeed have always had good service on P&O, occasionally have had a not quite friendly serve (oddly each time in Costa) but have put that down to the obvious stresses of that time.

On a different cruise line, I recently saw a 30-something fellow purposely bump into an older man and just walk away.

 

A few days later, that same person bumped into me while I was standing still waiting for an elevator.

 

He said, "Excuse me". As if that would make it alright.

 

I replied, "No.  You are not excused.  That was very rude of you".

 

He said, "Watch where you are going".

 

Oddly enough, I did not see him again for the next 9 days.

The cup of hot water with the teabag on the side is the American way of doing it. I don't think they understand the concept of brewing tea. It's obviously how she was taught, but no way should she be spoken too like that. Some people just have sense of their own  self - importance.
