She goes crazy if she's alone too much. I get that but I am sure they have plenty of crew to hang with and don't have to feel like the pressure is on them to be the entertainment. As for myself, I tend to value alone time. I would also value getting out of that uniform and into comfortable clothes. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all likelihood, some probably do and some probably don't. Just like the various responses on here, there are people who are naturally more comfortable with this. I've noticed it when the officers do the Q&A. Some are very comfortable and give very detailed answers, and some are clearly annoyed. We were on an NCL cruise, and guy asked how much does it cost to operate the ship a day. The Director of Hotel Operations answered "Are you a stock holder, otherwise you don't need to know that." Clearly he did not need to be on the panel. I doubt he was any friendlier at lunch, alcohol or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was joking around with you, and didn't mean for anyone to take it seriously. My bad, should have realized what would happen. Nice Lots of things happen here on CC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my wife and I. I'll talk to anyone and everyone. My wife is more quiet. Dinner on the cruises always start out with her being very quiet, and then around day 2 joining in the conversation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very elegant and included all Ds and up. Did not have to be 350/340 points. Was in the days of the "Diamond Event" (no DL) and Diamonds in December as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the Captain.. I would still pass. Maybe I am overlooking something about it that would be beneficial, but I just can't see it. Luckily not everyone has the same desires and tastes. Choice is there. Thank goodness we are not all the same!! 😮 Me, I enjoy the lunches...and if you have never tried one?...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 7 nights each. These will push me to Emerald. Makes me semi reconsider my choice to L&S my February 2021 cruise to March 2022. This means I will "experience" three different status levels next year. So funny about Emerald level, it's so short we skipped right over it going from Platinum to Diamond on one longer cruise. Drats...never got the Emerald pin either. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont care otherwise and no hope to get there any time soon DP340 is a trap. Once you get it you'll find other cruise lines have a hard time being price competitive when solo. I'm shopping some other lines now and in all cases Royal solo is the least expensive. That's a good thing unless you like another itinerary or ship better, then you have to accept the higher cost for the privilege of sailing the competition. DP340 doesn't work in July & August so that is my window to sample other lines. Edited October 23, 2020 by twangster 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
