I recall witnessing such a cattle call at Port Canaveral. I had arrived early for check-in and was in an early group for embarking Carnival Liberty. There were not many guests who responded to that cattle call. After a few minutes, another call was made. No one responded. My group was then called. I got "Faster To The Fun" almost as quickly as those who had paid for the privilege. 12 hours ago, getting older slowly said: the evil eye off some of the black card people due to our blue card. Oh, I am familiar with the "evil eye"! Sitting in a seat at a bar that some "regulars" of that type of cruise thought "was their territory". (The bartenders witnessing this event did an excellent job "keeping a straight face". But, their non-verbal behavior displayed a different message.) In my earlier years of cruising, I heard an "evil voice" from a fellow guest questioning how I could have the cruising experience that I had then because of my job position (i.e. how can you afford it). I was cruising with my Mother on that cruise and the woman learned a lesson from my Mother that I doubt she ever forgot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On others when we were in a full suite and I availed myself of the elite and suite line at customer service on more than one occasion I was lectured by black card holders that I didn't belong in the line. I gave them the evil eye back and announced to the staff when it was my turn that I was in a full suite which they could check easily. It's only been in the last few years (less than 10) that Princess started including 'suite' on the cruise card. That helped. Then I just pointed out the designation on the cruise card. I don't remember anyone apologizing. Did you really expect an apology from any of the black cards? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
