Maybe that's why I didn't 4.0 that marketing class I took. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OuiOnboard Posted February 11, 2023 #57 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Our last sailing on X was in February 2017 when "Modern Luxury" was the way forward. Since then, we have done mostly land based breaks/vacations. Just recently we started looking again at resuming cruising. Part of the reason for pausing our cruising activities was our perception of declining quality in regard to our X cruise experience over time. Gee!! It seems many think the food quality and perhaps other highlights X was known for, may continue to decline. This is disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the price of lobster, without even trying to find the lowest price here’s my local supermarket selling it for $4.99/ 3oz tail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really no big burden on anyone. Install them only in public places, so anyone who doesn’t care for the extra ‘pay as you go’ fee could simply ‘go’ in their own cabin. Suite passengers could receive tokens so they aren’t inconvenienced. A set of those same tokens (though perhaps in a non-suite color) could be sold ahead of time at a discount online to those passengers who appreciate a bargain— with an added 20% gratuity for convenience and to benefit the hard working crew. And for those who have ‘stage fright,’ reservations might even be possible. #GO WONDERFULL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other line offers this and no other line has. So I do think all of the uproar will pass and we will get on with enjoying ourselves as we always did in the past. That's what is next.

A friend of mine had a Kegerator. There was a drip pan under it on the floor. His German Shepard would lick up the drippings. He couldn’t figure out why the keg of beer was getting empty as fast as it was. He found the answer when he seen the dog pushing on the handle to fill up the tray.
