Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted February 10, 2009 #51 Share Posted February 10, 2009 AHHH!!! A real crew member. Would you agree James (assuming you've been on the ships awhile) that the old rule was "don't ask - don't tell"? regarding passenger and crew or officer "relations". Did they not always just look the other way? As far as the validity of the rule, simply go to celebritycruises.com and search "crew interaction" If you mean more then just hellos and talking and things that go on in peoples cabins then no they don't turn a blind eye. You will be fired and they are not kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be fired and they are not kidding! PRECISELY...fired on the spot, contract cancelled and disembarked at next port. Seen it firsthand. :eek: But that never USED to be the case....I have been cruising since 76. Up until a few years ago, I never noticed anyone being concerned with what consenting adults do on board. Now it's an issue. And now the crew is so concerned that they may be accused of being "too friendly", they are more distant, unless they are talking to a couple.:rolleyes: Still say stupid rule.

I think there is probably a VERY long list of things people use to get away with on cruise ships in 76 but can't now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some1 Posted February 11, 2009 #54 Share Posted February 11, 2009 You know what I just realized...cruise lines obviously come to CC once in a while, and they probably even read the Shipboard Love Stories forum too. Maybe that's why they came up with these rules. Go in there and read some of the crap people are willing to talk about online and you'll know what I mean.

KiwiAtSea Posted February 11, 2009 #55 Share Posted February 11, 2009 lol true. I think there is probably a VERY long list of things people use to get away with on cruise ships in 76 but can't now! Even in the late '90's... on my last 2 cruises there were all sorts of passenger-crew 'activities' going on... They were very strict on the dress code though....

Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted February 13, 2009 #65 Share Posted February 13, 2009 That shipboard love forum is so depressing and sad. All those stories of "I'm trying to find a bar tender who served me a drink 15 years ago and he gave me a wink and I'm spending my entire life to find him..I think its destiny and fate."

Sky Sweet Posted February 13, 2009 #66 Share Posted February 13, 2009 HOLY COW!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE SOME FUN READING!!!!:D http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=189 I just read a few posts on that board, and decided I would prefer not knowing what really takes place between the crew and some passengers. However, I do have a better understanding of why the crew are no longer allowed to correspond with passengers via e-mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine0138 Posted February 13, 2009 #67 Share Posted February 13, 2009 You cannot email crew on a work email address, but nothing to stop them using their own private email address such as hotmail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvaty Posted February 13, 2009 #68 Share Posted February 13, 2009 That shipboard love forum is so depressing and sad. Absolutelly! The girl that has been invited and ignored.

cvaty Posted February 13, 2009 #75 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I found this board /thread to be very stating. Some people are a bit egoistic and selfish. It can be a bad image for the men who are working in this business, to cruising and the company. OFF TOPIC. Happy Valentines day cruise critic members, Very romantic cruises, as well time period and love confessions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
