Day 12 Part 3
October 26th - Day At Sea
After the spectacle at Topsiders, it was time for Kira to go for a nap. Rob was still sleeping when I got back to the room so we tried to be quiet so he could sleep some more. Kira was tired and fell asleep right away.
With nothing really to do I figured I would roam around the ship for a bit. Maybe run into some BOBers and visit for awhile.
I walked deck 9 all the way down but didn't see anyone I knew so I decided to grab some lunch at Pluto's. Again there were no tables available and I couldn't go back into the room with both Kira and Rob sleeping so I just grabbed an empty table in Cove Cafe and read a magazine while I scarfed down some chicken strips.
I strolled around the ship a little more and still didn't see anyone to visit with. At this point I was getting a little lonely. I had no adult company all morning and now it was 2pm and I was starting to feel sorry for myself
I think I went into the shops and bought a couple of things and then went back to the cabin.
When I went back in the room, Rob woke up and was feeling hungry so he went in search of some food and I stayed in the cabin with a still-sleeping Kira.
I should mention for the past 2 days now, we've had the Privacy Please sign on our door because Rob was in bed for the better part of the day and he didn't want anyone bothering him. I had told our room host the day before that Rob was sick and just needed lots of sleep.
Well when Rob was gone for food, there was a knock on the door (while we still had the privacy sign on) and it was the room host.
Now, what happened in the next 5 minutes is probably my low point of the cruise. Keep in mind that I was already in a fragile state of mind with Rob being sick and me not having any kind of help with Kira and just feeling a little low and sad, so it was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back.
I don't remember his exact words but he mentioned something about us having the privacy sign on for 2 days. I tried to explain to him, yet again, that Rob had been sick since we boarded and that he is basically sleeping all day.
Well he went on and on about it and how he can't make up our room for us. I tried to explain to him that it was OK, that we had plenty of towels and that we really didn't need the room cleaned every day. I honestly don't know what was up with him but he just kept going on about it and that he couldn't offer us his services. I tried to tell him that we were OK with not receiving the normal excellent services that came with cruising, I told him that this was our 4th
Disney cruise and that we know how wonderful the service is and that we understood that because we opted for the Privacy, that we wouldn't get those services.
By now I was almost in tears. The guy just kept going on!!!
He was making me feel as if we were up to no good and that we were hiding something from him and it seemed like he really needed (wanted?) to come in our room.
I told him that we had been gone for supper every night and that he could come in the room then.
He rudely explained to me that he couldn't clean the room properly at night because he didn't have the time, he only had time to turn down the bed.
Once again I told him that we didn't need the room cleaned every day but the guy just didn't get it.
I just said "I don't know what you want me to tell you?"
Then he said "Well, do you know if I can give you service tomorrow morning?"
To which I replied "No, I don't! We are supposed to go to the beach but I have no idea if my husband will feel well enough to even go."
Then he said "Well then do you know of a time that maybe you can call me and request that I come service your room?"
OMG
NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I have no idea how my husband will be feeling tomorrow!!! I am hoping that he's better but really I don't have a magic crystal ball, so NO I really don't know!!!"
Honestly, it was getting ridiculous now. It became like a tennis match...he would ask me a stupid question and I would say "I don't know what you want me to say to you."
Over and over again!
I was this close to losing it when Rob came walking down the hall.
I told Rob to deal with him because I couldn't take it anymore!!!
Suddenly his tone totally changed and he basically said that if we needed service, just to call housekeeping and then he left.
I explained to Rob what had just transpired and he could tell that I was at the end of my rope. By now Kira had woken up from her nap and I can't remember where they went but Rob took Kira for me because he KNEW that if I didn't get some alone time right there and right then that I go bonkers it!!!!
After they left I remember just sitting on the bed, crying my eyes out.
Right then the phone rang and it was Chris, who I guess had been trying to track me down. I honestly don't even remember what I said to him because I was so out of it. Poor guy wasn't expecting the "Cass" he got on the phone
After that I just layed down for a bit and tried to shake it all off.
Rob and Kira came back and I think we just let Kira play in the room for awhile.
Gotta make supper so...

Her suit probably fit when she got on there!
