When things don't go exactly as I expected on a cruise, I remind myself that I could be back home at work. Everything's fine, then........
On our last cruise on the Conquest this past April, the Mardi Gras party and parade on Lido went off without a hitch. The CD told me two days before the party that their shipment of beads didn't arrive for the festivites. Just so happen, I brought a large suitcase of nothing but beads, and gladly gave them to the entertainment crew before the party that night. Everyone had a ball. It was one of the best get-togethers of the week.
Now, if the party had been held without the beads, I'm sure someone would have written a review about how bad the deck shindig had been. Point being: If things don't transpire as their supposed to, I'll do my best to assist and encourage the crew to make sure others have a good time, and roll with the punches.
The entertainment folks have the most exhaustive task of pleasing and entertaining everyone onboard everyday. At least once an hour, during the day, someone can be heard complaining about something. (i.e. ,The elevator's too slow, the chairs are all taken, my eggs aren't cooked like grandmas, it's too cold in here, this line's too long, or the general statement like "What's their problem."
Look here.........you could always be back at home.......at work.
