...and you can take your own beer wine water and pop aboard!

i wonder if they do that for everybody, or maybe for every first-time customer, to encourage them to become regulars.

as a matter of fact, mrs. unblock and i did a cruise as part of our honeymoon, i think it was royal caribbean. i think they did offer us something similar for a second cruise, apropos of nothing.

in any event, it certainly sounds much more like a promotion than an apology.

act like human beings and not corporate assholes.

really acted this way, it is as if idiots were running the show. You don't treat customers like this...and not refund the fare..ever. No business that is successful operates this way. Like I said, I almost cannot believe this is real. If it is, ..this is real, real stupid of this company..

But since the advent of the mega ships, we don't. Ships too big, too many passengers and overworked crews, cruising is unpleasant and not worth the expense. NCL used to be great, but no more. Hope they get reimbursed.
