That sure puts a new spin on the famous (infamous?) DIS meets!!

I have to agree with everybody that I LOVE Dave's site and Barb & Tony's site. I don't think I could plan my vacation without those sites and the DIS board. Please, no new hobbies!!!

Also, I shutter to image how it would be to live with this "lady". eeeeekkkkkk! yuk!!

All I can say is WOW! If this woman is that upset with her cruise, she should contact DCL and not you. You are not responsible for her cruise enjoyment. I rely heavily on your website for info around Port Canaveral (like that there are a couple Targets so I can pick up diapers before the cruise and not have to lug them with me). You have great info on your website that you obviously spent a great deal of time on, and most of us appreciate it.

Keep up the good work, and don't you dare give up your "hobby".

Some people just can't be pleased.

Many thoughts crossed my mind as I read this thread (no, I will not share all of them ).

First thought: Dave, please continue the hard and excellent work on the website.

Second thought: when someone is a "professional", they are always more critical. The lady worked for another cruise line. Of course she is going to knock DCL.

Third thought: The mold thing--??!! I have a friend who works on a small cruise ship in the New England area. She is always complaining that the ship throws out good perishable food after each cruise. (she wants them to give it to a homeless shelter --another topic, another time). I am sure DCL has the same health code.

Fourth thought: Maybe the wait staff told her all those rumors so she WOULD NOT cruise DCL again!!!

Fifth thought: I'm getting too old to think about my fifth thought!!

"Oh, so THAT explains why the Vichyssoise was cold."

OK, now that I wiped the coffee off of my monitor and my desk, I want to know how to get invited to the orgies. On my last two cruises, we were just adults, so we staged our own orgies , but this time we'll have kids with us, so I'll need to join in the public orgies.

As for dinner conflicting with dinner, the only thing my dinner conflicted with was my waistline!

Its all been said before, but I have to add my 2 cents.

Dave, let me be another to say don't give up your hobby! Nor Barb or anyone who has any of the other sites. These are terrific sites and I hit them often.

I've run into these types of people a time or two. There is not making them happy. Something is always wrong. I feel extremely badly for the servers and stateroom CM and the other CM's who had to deal with it.

If DCL were so bad, the Magic and the Wonder would be parked permanently next to the Big Red Boat in Nassau. If it were so bad, the "Ship is full" sign would get dusty. But still, every Thursday, Sunday and Saturday the line waiting to enter winds around and around the hall. So that has to say something.

Keep up the great work Dave!

Don't get a new hobby.
Sounds like tablemates from hell.

I think I've figured it out. You know how on the love boat, all of the guest stars got invited to sit at the captain's table? I think "captains table on the love boat" is the code phrase to get into the orgies. And here I thought the love boat was just another 70's/80's cheezy Aaron Spelling sitcom, but in reality it is rich in literary meaning and symbolism. I have to wonder what the symbolism of the pursor named after a little furry animal is!

I'm guessing the reason the woman who wrote the letter couldn't get any tropical fruit is because it was all being used at the orgies. And her luggage wasn't sent to south carolina, it was sent to the orgy. I bet she even hurt her knee at the orgy! She is probably upset that she got paged by the kids club because she had to leave the orgy to pick her up. No WONDER the staff was worn out, all of those orgies. Oh well, at least her cabin attendant pleased her. I wonder if she tried the room service?

I'm sorry.... I just had to pull this out of your post Lisa!!

I think it puts a whole new spin on the offered amenities in the state rooms!!

 

[gdulaney]

Lisa,

I was just thinking the same thing...that would be some really great room service!!!!

And to think my husband and I were worried that there wouldn't be enough adult activities for us!

 

[gometros]

I have to turn overr the computer to my daughter, so haven't read past the ifrst page, but I've got to say I sincerely doubt the voracity of that letter. Either some one is pulling Dave's leg or has a serious axe to grind.

AS Mel Gibson said in signs, "there are no coincidences" and there were too many bad incidents to really believe that it all really happened. A worn out waiter? Maybe. A missed call from the Oceaneers Club? Okay, I've heard of some problems there. Moldy strawberries? Maybe if it was on the bottom of the berry, but that's a stretch. But all these things happening at once? Call me a skeptic, say I'm from Missouri, but I ain't biting.

And I think Dave's too smart to take it any more seriously than I did and perhaps his subject line was a bit tongue-in-cheek?

 

[lisak1]

well, it seems the room service is an untapped resource, let's all make note of that! hahahaha!!

 

[BethC1952]

Next question...do I get to order a particular crew member?

Keep up the good work Dave. You know we love you.

Lol!!!! Will they put the orgies in the Navigator now that the cat is out of the bag?

But seriously, I can imagine all these things did happen to her, but cannot imagine any of it was all the fault of DCL. We probably all have stories about other vacation disasters or things DCL might do better. (I've never been to China, but my luggage has, etc.) How in the name of Sam Hill could anyone get her luggage by accident unless she mislabeled it??? And if the strawberries were moldy, I cannot think that a polite complaint would not have removed the charge. I'll bet she acted like a shrew to everyone and finally, all the CMs had had enough and just let her have it. She sounds awful. I hope all these bad things did happen to this bad person. One tends to reap what one sows.

Her major anger even seemed to be directed at her daughter for having the audacity to page her. Sheesh.

Dave, I think your site is amazing and a tremendous help to me when planning our cruises. (Barb's site too!)
You just can't please some people and I have a feeling this "lady" (I use that term lightly) would find something to pick apart no matter what! Some people really thrive on being miserable, I have no idea why.

Lisa


Keep on cruisin....DCL style!
