Pool attendant says it is impossible for him to be on duty all the time to catch them. The attendant perks up when he finds us on board. Told us a wedding party of 70 from Miami were on board last week and took over the entire pool. Said something that they plan to be back in July. (I hope not on our date). That is the problem with cruises as 20165 is so upset about, rude, very rude, and extremely rude fellow passengers that interlope into the YC as a favorite pastime.

That wouldn’t ruin my cruise but would certainly make my yacht club experience a major disappointment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i think I figured out why this is the case. Was talking to someone with the same balcony cabin as ours and they paid almost $2k less than we did. So at some point they were giving away these cabins and then reason for it being so packed and the “interlopers”. I just call them degenerates… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Opportunism is the practice of taking advantage of circumstances – with little regard for principles or with what the consequences are for others." But I won't quibble with "degenerates".

Rare morpheusofthesea Posted June 17, 2023 Author #255 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Tonight we learned an important lesson. Each day we study the Daily Planner to map out our evening entertainment. We went to Le Cabaret Rouge and caught the opening act of Samulous. Always great and different songs. He was followed by the violinist who plays the same songs every time so we walked out early to get seats in the Chora Theatre for a guest artist, Yaniv Zarif. He has a nose like Barbra Streisand so he is a good vocalist. We moved our seats twice during the performance as these 'opportunists' that sat down in front and behind us kept coughing. We waited for the song to finish and bolted to the exit. DW suggests we stroll by the Loft Cafe which was conspicuously absent from the Daily Planner this evening and to our surprise was the jazz quartet with Bruno Vicenza. We had to settle for seats in the back. Don't know how this can be rectified in the future as this event is outside the concerns of the Yacht Club.

I would do so early on as they book up. Never mind - question was answered 🙂 Edited June 17, 2023 by momofmab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yannis leaves Seascape in September and then goes to Seaside, then to World America. Saw more of Captain then Taylan YC Director (Have not met Taylan yet this cruise) and tonight is tip night.

Rare morpheusofthesea Posted June 17, 2023 Author #263 Share Posted June 17, 2023 A 13 second video of cabana/pergola #6 being prep for guests, the towel truck has just dumped a load. We took the first trolley over to Ocean House. Counted 33 lawn tables on all the grassy parks surrounding Ocean House x 4 guests each.

Rare morpheusofthesea Posted June 17, 2023 Author #265 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Noticed a dearth of product to purchase in shops, except for Bahamian rum cake. Didn't know it was so popular to garner such shelf space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What time is dinner served in the YC? Earliest is 5:30 up to 9:30. US guests always ask how early, Europeans, how late ? Waiter told us they have two shifts because the Europeans all come at 9:30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
