Same here. I don't go on a cruise to complain. I go to relax! Sweating the small stuff is not my style.

This is how I accidentally starting the whole "sunshine cruisers" club on the DS. Our last cruise was on the NCL Sun and we got such a ridiculously low rate that NOTHING could spoil that cruise. I felt like a stow away. ($3500 for 7 people TOTAL for 7 days!!!)
Before we left I was all set that nothing would ruin our time. I had low expectations and felt that as long as things were basically clean, the food was edible and I could get my hands on a clean towel here or there, it would be a great trip. We had a FANTASTIC trip. My kids (ages 9 to 24) also had a wonderful time. We are all experienced cruisers and we all agree that the ocean, the beaches, the "free" food (rolling eyes) is enough to give us a good time.
Most of the DS whiners are people who want champagne on a beer budget.

Maybe we could all chip in to sponser a "Purser's Cam" on a ship with live streaming video. Someone get the popcorn!

Me, too! I could only take other people's crap for so long before I exploded!!!! 
How can people like that act like that? How were they raised? To be liars and cheats? I don't understand it.
People feel it's OK to cheat big corporations because they must be bad since they're big, and hey, they can afford it. I canot stand this greedy, self-centered mentality.
I can not understand this thought process. It is unfair to cheat PERIOD.

I haven't, but I'm beginning to think it might be very entertaining to hear some of the moronic complaints and lies that supposedly sane adults can come up with in just a single cruise.
It is funny you said that. I was sitting here thinking it would be hoot when you get bored to just go sit at the Purser's Desk with a bottle of wine. lol

Now that is a cam I would even pay to watch. Well maybe not but far more likely then paying for Cruisecal.
With ships around the world there would be programing 7X24

There used to be a program on A&E channel - very much the same idea but was centered around Airports and the difficulty they had with certain passengers. That was very entertaining, as a show about the pursers desk on a cruise ship would be.

Maybe the cruise-lines should put a big camera behind the pursers desk and just tell passengers when they approach the line is tapping a new show for A&E of the idiots and lies that happen onboard. That would result in a dramatic reduction in the  as passengers turn tail and run.

Wasn't that Airline? I remember watching a few episodes of that. I think it was Southwest that was the focus of the show. They really had some doozies!

| Yup that was Airline - I liked the British version as well - pretty sure it was British Airways - wow some people just have no sense what so ever. But it was still entertaining.

ok, this is all well and good, but no one has answered the real question. What time do the whales actually go by?
