Default Boner of Boners.

Hi first timers.
I have cruised 11 times and it has to be THE BEST vacation I have ever experienced, which probably why I've done it 11 times (12 in a month.....hopefully).
Gotta warn you though, there is one part of cruising you shouldn't get invovled in.
COMPLAINING!!
Yes, there is always room for complaint with anything man has a dealing in. I started out big.....7 days followed by a 4 day in the Carribean and I don't know if that got me to this point but I have been on cruises with MAJOR foopaws, on cruises where I had to go alone, where everyone was disorganized, the entertainers were falling all over themselves, the room was small, noisy, drafty and inconvenient. Chefs, matre'd, waiters,bussboys, cabin stewards were all inconciderate, all which might have ruined the cruise. But it didn't stop me from enjoying myself. I just sneared, looked at my friends, said something loudly under my breath, so the bandit could hear and I felt better.
Don't dwell on it!!!!!!
Things that ticked me off were few and far between. Major disturbances were addressed to the proper officials and "vwula", peace in the ranks.
I'll have to say the worst cruise I ever toke was the one I was alone on. Still, I wouldn't have traded it for any other vacation.
Sometimes I honestly think that the people that complain are those who are complained too in their working life and need a way to release.
The crew are all conditioned for just such a setback and will do their best to make it right.
Don't worry, be happy.
