I first saw this last night and didn't comment, as I thought the question was answered and was hoping the thread would die away.
I also think your answer was rude. The OP is obviously new to the Boards and probably never has cruised before, so how is he/she to know if there are life jackets available for use??
Just an FYI.....Princess DOES have gear that they will rent out for people to take off the ship, even if you aren't on one of their excursions. So it really isn't that unreasonable a question.
Ex Techie.....I know that you've been trained to respond to people in a pleasant manner...unless your position had nothing to do with the public....but as a human being, do you really think it was necessary to add
"REALLY!!??" at the end of your first post? That's the equivalent of saying "DUH".....and you know it.
And your later post saying "step back" and "I was right" are pretty uncalled for also.
