In all my cruises, it never ceases to amaze me how many people think they are the only passengers.
I remember the Mediterranean on the Grand Princess the other year, we went over July 4, so you knew it was going to be hot. On a tour in Naples to Herculaneum, our tour guide was a local and his english was quite good. He tried to stop to tell us about things under trees, etc and there was this couple who did nothing but complain...they wanted to continue on instead of stopping, etc they were just nasty. There were 2 Princess crew along on the tour and they cornered them to complain. I saw it and afterwards, talked to the ladies. I then went to the shore excursion and told them what I saw and that the crew handled it excellently. All these people wanted to do was get their money back.
They also complained about the tour they took to Florence. Part of Florence is pedestrian only and they complained about having to walk. Of course, the blocks blocked off from traffic was Princess' fault. Even though the excursion stated that walking was involved.
On the same cruise, in Istanbul, this gentlemen complained because his hotdog was put on a round plate, not an oblong one. The cook merely dumped it onto an oblong plate and the man was happy.
Seems that some people just can't be happy with the blessings they have.
