Apparently there were no tests conducted during the worse of the pandemic and now there's a shortage of drivers . Our city has canceled picking up recycling for a couple of months to get caught up on yard trash. Evidently there are neighborhoods with 6 foot high yard trash that hasn’t been picked up in months. The city designated three areas where recycling could be dropped off. Evidently regular garbage is being dumped with the recycling. What a mess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hockey schedule is out and this year all teams in Ontario have no games over Christmas and March break, which means we can cruise without missing any games. They decided this to give time to relax for all the kids. I approve. Well done Owen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ReneeFLL Posted October 5, 2021 #32670 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I'm not so sure I like dealing with the amenity gift. A little back story. On the Freedom recently our cabin smelled like dog pee by the glass sliding door. It wasn’t really noticeable until you opened the curtain and walked out the door. We told them the first night to please try to fix it. We also said we didn't want to change rooms unless they had another aft facing balcony which they didn't. They came in that evening and tried cleaning it. Not sure what they did but the end result as a lot of over the top smelly stuff which wasn't that pleasant but we didn't complain. We saw the supervisor in the hall 2 days later and she asked how the smell was. We mentioned it worked but their smelly stuff was starting to wear off and the smell was coming back. Again I mentioned we didn't want to move and she made a comment she would do something nice for us. I didn't want that stuff they put on it again so I would spray perfume in the area daily. They would never say it smelled like dog pee but that they could smell something. They said it was probably from water coming in the door and the carpet getting wet. That's possible, but would that ever smell like dog pee? Ok, now to the amenity gift on the Freedom b2b. The first cruise we requested and received the champagne. The second cruise we had requested the beach towel. The second cruise there wasn't any amenity gift so I called the LA and told her there wasn't a beach towel. The next day a bottle of champagne showed up so we thought it was because of the smell. I called again about the beach towel. She said we had requested the champagne. No we didn't. I explained that we thought the champagne was for the smell and she could check with housekeeping if she wanted to. We finally got the towel. Now that we have seen it and have one we don't want anymore. For the Odyssey cruises I requested the champagne for the three. When I called I asked if it showed that I had requested the towel for the last Freedom cruise. It did so she lied to us saying we had requested the champagne. We get on the Odyssey and there is a beach towel when it should have been champagne. 🙄 I called right away to let them know we asked for the champagne and they could take the towel. She said she would look into it. Later she called back and said the champagne was on its way up. It ever arrived so when we went to the diamond lounge I mentioned it to her. She called and said they would send it up. They show up about 9:00pm with ....... drum roll please...... white wine.🤦♀️ We told them we requested the champagne. At almost 10:00 we get a call saying they would be bringing up the red wine 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ WTH? This is no joke. Neither one of us ever mentioned wine of any color at all. They sure were trying to pawn something else on us except for what we asked. Maybe they are low on the cheap champagne? 🤷♀️ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get used to putting yourself out there...sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing...but always trying. You (hopefully) learn to be both a gracious winner and loser. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone is probably getting bored with my lake pictures now that all those beautiful cruise pictures are being posted. We did get outside and walked 12 miles today between rain showers. Enjoying a glass of wine now, while following some of the cruise reports. 12 miles??? I'm happy when my step counter tells me I achieved my 8,000 steps in a day!😅 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
