Hospitality can be a lot of things.  I have interns in the summer (normally).  One of the best, bought a barn in the Midwest and does destination weddings.  Last we talked she was doing very well. 

 

You are never going to be hurt with a Finance Degree of any kind. 

Yeah during high school and college she's worked at wedding/event venues, winery's, high end resorts etc.  But as you said, can't go wrong with a graduate degree in finance.

 

Our local area is LOADED with barn/winery wedding and event venues.  It's all the rage.

No problem wearing a mask if mandated. I’m beyond the tanning stage in life and I’m recovering from COVID. Thank goodness it was a minor case which I got from a family member. Let my guard down and didn’t wear my mask which I had left in my vehicle and paid the price.

Sorry to hear that. Glad you are recovering without complications.

I thought the latest 'hype' of wearing a mask was 'do it to protect others'....do you perhaps mean the family member wasn't wearing a mask???

 

I may be ignorant, and apologize if I'm asking an obvious question.  I avoid situations/locations that require a mask, so I have no idea what the latest protocol is.  Haven't even been in a store since March lol.

It was my young granddaughter and neither one of us had a mask on.

Why you feel a need to constantly belittle Royal after your Vision cruise was cancelled is beyond me.  You're constantly stating that you will go with another cruise line.  Why haven't you?  Why are you still on the Royal board?  The other lines have their boards as well, where you can contribute your vast knowledge. 🙄  

Totally agree except for the vast knowledge part. 😁

Because truly, I am so hopeful that head office will see this so that all be able to do it right next year! Yeah, it kinda freaks me out when I have to ride this alone against all the POM POMS!! Seriously I used to love Royal and maybe I'll come back IF Princess doesn't work out! Maybe everyone has become TOO easy to please, ReneeFLL?? Oh well, I am going to keep speaking my mind about Royal on the Royal Forum!!

You have previously been complaining about Royal on other threads. It probably is time for you to try another cruise line.

 

I kind of feel like since we were both on Vision, am I right?? You should understand where I'm at tonight.

 

And who is possibly brave enough to dress up as a "cruise critic" for Halloween?!?!?!? Anyone?? OMG one day not cheering, um, seriously??

I was on the October 2021 Vision TA, and yes I was disappointed it was cancelled. It was actually the 7th cruise we have had cancelled so far. ALL cruise lines have had to cancel cruises, it is out of their control. The measures that need to be followed in order to resume sailing are also out of control of the cruise lines, they are preventative measures that will be required of ALL cruise lines in order to be allowed to resume sailing. 

 

I have no idea why you are blaming Royal, but you will currently not be able to find any other cruise line that can sail without the currently required rules. I don't know what battle you think you are fighting alone, but good luck. I hope you find something you are happy with.

I honestly feel like part of my problem is keeping emotions control with with some upcoming financial decisions. I ABSOLUTELY should not have passed that pressure on to all of you. We have not traveled many places throughout the year, but in a weird way, Princess "COME BACK NEW" sounds nice - I'm the first to admit!

I'm not feeling any financial pressure and definitely not yours. Not sure why you would think this.

If you're feeling financial pressure maybe you might want to put off thinking about a cruise until after most of the covid stuff has passed.

There’s no way I’ll be wearing a mask outside on a Caribbean cruise.  I’ll be doing land vacations until masks are no longer required outside on cruises.

My thoughts are that as disappointing as having cruises cancelled is, there are many people with much bigger problems. Many people have lost their income and are worrying about paying their bills. Many have lost loved ones. I feel we are lucky to not be dealing with any of these devastating issues. 

 

When cruising resumes we will wait and see how the first cruises do. We will weigh the restrictions that will be in place and decide whether cruising under these restrictions will be enjoyable to us. As much as we miss our cruises, we may decide to wait until some of the restrictions are able to be removed. Getting angry at a cruise line for something out of their control is a waste of energy. If Princess sounds nice to you, book a Princess cruise. Keep in mind that when cruising first resumes they will likely have the same rules as Royal in place in order to be allowed to sail. If you don't want to sail with these rules, then wait until they are able to be lifted. No point in getting angry about it as it's your choice to cruise or not.

 Expressing an opinion and saying you won't abide by the rules are two entirely different things.

I think the majority of people feel that wearing a mask on the open deck while sunning is overkill, but if that is the rule, then so be it.

Complain all you like on CC but when you finally set foot on a ship, make sure you are prepared to comply with all protocols - not just the ones you agree with.

[cruisegirl1]

I also believe that requiring a mask on an open deck is overkill. We’ve been to one or two beach resorts in South Carolina and while the mask is required inside the building, it is not required around the pool or of course at the beach.

 

With that said, if I want to cruise, and a mask is required on the pool deck,  I wear one. Those who don’t agree with the rule  should seek a different vacation venue

 

I hope that whatever protocol/rules the cruise ship puts forth, that they are all strictly enforced.

Not sure how I missed this earlier. I won't be wasting my time anymore since you don't seem to want any help, but just want to complain. 👋

I am done wasting my time with you and the MASK DEBATE, ReneeFLL, but now that I've got a list building of other topics to discuss! New cruisers and head office needs to know and we can all be very tame and very family friendly!

True. Up until this year, it rarely rained on our beach.

My son is getting married tomorrow. They want to take all of the family pictures at the beach. My wife's first reaction was is it going to be windy because the women are all going to have their hair done.

Just work with the wind. Unfortunately the sun may not cooperate.  I have that problem with Laura a lot. Hopefully a pro photographer can deal with the sun
