They might love their jobs. I’ve never had one be less than professional. 
but I still feel sympathy for them. 

 

For as much as we complain about customer service reps who don't know what they're talking about (often rightly so), I'm sure many of them have equally bad stories about the idiots who call them and are completely clueless.

Table is set. 
 

 

Accoutrements prepared. That’s a chocolate turkey, even the adults get one. 
 

 

Birthday cupcakes need to be decorated a bit more before consumption.

I had a friend who drove from KC to Miami (over 21 hours)nonstop. I don't know he did it without sleep. If I were to make a drive I would do it 2-3 days.

Up until 3 years ago, we would drive from New York, (and then, NJ after moving here) to Florida, for 15 to 16 hours, before we'd stop around around Palm Coast for the night.  That left around 8 hours for the remainder of our trip to our condo in Naples.  Then, 3 years ago, Jim said he couldn't do it any more, so we now stay over 2 nights on the road, arriving on the 3rd day.  Those were the days, my friends, we thought they'd never end....

Have a Great Day!    Happy Birthday to your Nephew.

 

It must be turkey day.    I am roasting a turkey breast today.    Just put in oven at noon.  Enjoy 😍

I'm roasting a whole chicken right now, and it sure smells good!

Agree language barriers suck. No matter what end of the conversation it is. I'm will be the first to admit I'm not always the nicest person after a few run around transfers or disconnects!! 🤬 Not just cruise line related. My frustration more times than not and especially lately is the so called person that's suppose to be in the know (subject matter expert 😂) doesn't know squat and is providing only excellent lip service. Then you call another CS rep with the same question, concern, issue or problem and get a totally different answer. 🤬 

 

And naturally you are describing the well known RCI acronym:

 

"Really Consistently Inconsistent".    😉   You just know I had to post that.  😄

This may not be taken from a cruise ship balcony but right now the sun's warmth and the view are putting me at peace.

 

We are still under clouds and really choppy ocean with wind gusts up to 30 mph throughout the day.   Sorry to say but I think it is headed your way.

I agree I am at peace and my happiest when I am at the beach watching the ocean. 

Enjoy 😍

Gorgeous hotel.    The owners have a done a great job on maintaing the property.    Any idea how old it is?     I imagine there are some additions to the property since there appears to be many different levels and buildings.

Remember the female NASA employee who drove to Florida with rope and duct tape to get rid of “the other woman”?

She wore adult diapers so she wouldn’t have to stop. 

 

One of the late night shows did a parody on that....was great fodder for the late night comics.  😄 

 

Wonder if the scary woman ever spent any time in prison.  I hope she did.  She scared the crap out of Colleen Shipman...who still ended up with Bill.  I think they moved to Alaska for awhile...good place to get away from it.

Nope --

"Nowak was initially charged with attempted murder and kidnapping, but charges were eventually reduced to burglary and misdemeanors. Nowak pleaded guilty in 2009 and was sentenced to a year of probation."

 

Didn't know the story, but I'm a curious one, so Dr. Google helped....

I believe the final passenger count on Odyssey is under 1000.

Also the WJ seems to be larger than Oasis, with out having the tables jammed together. Everyone is sitting in the area as you first walk in, then i noticed there was much more, so I wondered further in, and there was a large area at the back of the ship looking out the back. Very nice.

I believe Anthem has that too.    I always love the outdoor patio behind WJ on Serenade, Jewel, etc. (never remember which class ship).

Pool party for Lucy - YAY!      My neighbor has a pool and my cat, Splashes, used to go over all the time and stretch out on their lounge chairs while their cat did the same.     They were always telling me to cover over and check them out.
