Lesinindy Posted March 24, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Had a canceled appointment today and for kicks I decided to see what folks complained about on the board. I decided to go back to the first of March. What I found made me reconsider (not really) my trip in 24 days. It has been my desire to not miss anyone that I could upset and I tried to include all equally. Like W.C. Fields said (or should have said) I am free of prejudices, I hate everyone equally. Cancelling my cruise because why in the world would anyone want to go on a cruise that featured? 1. Wait listed dinner times 2. Chair hogs 3. No classical or jazz 4. Bugs 5. No upgrade or up sell 6. Automatically closing balcony doors 7. Room stewards that want to clean the cabin 8. Documents that will not print in Firefox 9. No Frank’s red hot sauce 10. No onboard credit 11. Getting into port too early or too late 12. Ships that leave on time 13. Ships that make you put your clothes on in port 14. Open dinning, closed dinning, Free style dining, anytime dinning 15. Waitlist in general 16. Full ships, less than full ships, cancelled ships due to too few folks 17. Confusion over ship/shore time 18.

Too may young folks on spring break 28. Needing a passport to travel outside of the country 29. Cabana robbers 30. People who wear lanyards around their neck, with pouch or with whole punch 31. Slow internet in the middle of an ocean 32. Karaoke songs, and folks that sing them 33. Making folks attend the Muster drill 34. What constitutes the proper wine bottle size to bring onboard 35. Elegant nights too many or not enough 36. Folks that dress up too much for elegant nights or do not 37. Cashless society, how does it work 38. Great food from room service or food that is not great 39. No more topless area (one of my real beefs) 40. Getting on board early or too late 41. Folks that don’t close drapes and those that do 42. Too much luggage, not enough 43. Norovirus 44. Getting kicked off the boat at the end of a cruise 45. Cruise fares that are reduced and are not reduced (depends on perspective) 46. Spring breakers on board during spring break 47. Coffee 48. Mirrors in rooms, lack of and size 49. Alcohol ______________(fill in the blank) 50. Port holes, inside rooms, balcony good/bad 51. Denver TV 52. Spending a fortune and having the kids bring on PS3 games 53. Drunk kids/adults/old people in ports 54. Cold food 55. So so eggs Benedict in DR 56. Dinner tables that are too large or too small 57. Ordering more than one main course at dinner 58. Tight casinos 59. Beer in bottles of cans 60. Charges to use a cell phone in the middle of an ocean 61. All you can eat food and folks that take advantage of it 62. Adult only pools or the lack there of 63. PVP’s that call or don’t call 64. Ship deck plans 65. Artwork on ships and décor featuring “nudes” 66. Too many smoking areas/ not enough smoking areas 67. Cannot get off on first tender (on ship with 2700 + guests) 68. Expensive ship sponsored excursions 69. Seasickness in the middle of an ocean 70. Trolls 71. TA’s on the boards 72. Undercover Carnival folks on the boards 73. Folks that get sick on board, especially old folks 74. Getting upgrades that are not perfect 75. Water quality on board not up to bottled level 76. Rough seas in the middle of an ocean 77. Missed ports due to weather conditions in the middle of an ocean 78. Hard beds, soft beds, beg bugs 79. Fun ship Freddy 80. Corking fee in the middle of an ocean 81. And my best all time complaint, getting addicted to something that all you are required to do is eat, sleep, drink, relax, and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalmuff26 Posted March 24, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2009 You are so right! Seems like some of these people just complain and complain about the most trivial things and are never happy. Things do happen but you have to make the best of it and have a positive attitude. It's vacation, stop complaining and start enjoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedToasterBox Posted March 24, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I agree with the above. If cruising was so horrible then no one would do it. I had the same issue on a Vegas board I was on. Vegas is my 2nd home and I love the place more than anything. But everytime someone on that board asked something someone would respond with any and everything negative. There's WAY to many "know it alls" on every board. Then anyone that disagrees with the "know it alls" are automatically wrong. Thats why I LURK more than I post. I don't feel like getting into it with someone I don't know, will never know, and do not care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJBride Posted March 24, 2009 #13 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I agree--You're on vacation--enjoy it! Nothing is perfect--On my last cruise, last year, I broke my thumb at the 2nd port--I still enjoyed myself at the other port and the 2 sea days--and for the pain, I just drank alot!
