Most of the guests we have on board are nice, then there are some who are there, but you never really see or hear them and then there are the kind where you just go…..(fill in the blanks yourself!) !!!
As happened this cruise. For instance there was one gentleman who had asked for a 6th keycard, because he kept forgetting them in his room. When he came for one yesterday, it was the 4th, so I told him he would go on to the 5th! This morning he came up to the desk and said he needed a 6th…and it took me a minute to realize what he was talking about…but he already needed his 6th keycard!hahah
Tonight when he walked past the desk to go to the Lounge for the farewell cocktail, he said he had put two keycards in his pockets, just in case! That was just really funny!
But last night Geanina had a guest we would rather have thrown overboard! At midnight she got a call from a lady who said they couldn’t find their cellphone, she said they had searched the entire room, but they couldn’t find it. Geanina told her that if anything is lost on the ship it will be at the desk for people to come and pick it up. But the lady insisted that she search the entire ship for it….Then they came over to the desk to demand more from Geanina, really ridiculous! She said she needed to get to the info to stop her services, so Geanina directed her to one of our computers in the lobby, where she was banging away on the keyboard to get the right information. Now to call from the room is pretty expensive, it all goes through satellite. Then off course she was complaining about that fact that she had to pay for the call!! Anyway, they hadn’t found it during the night. Insisting that the phone never left the room, implying thereby that someone (read: the cabinsteward) must have taken it from the room.
The next morning she came up to me and I wished her a good morning, she said it wasn’t all that good and that I must already know why. I told her I did know, that I had already talked to the Housekeeper and that she offered to check the room for her again. I told her I would keep an eye out for it. Again she implied someone had taken it, when she said that she wondered where it would turn up. They went on an excursion in the morning and while they were gone, the HM and the Housekeeper went to the room to take a look, but they didn’t find anything. In the afternoon is an excursion to Versailles, where they also went to and I saw them when they came back. They made like they wanted to talk to me, but at that time I was too busy dealing with all the guests coming back, so they went to the room.
After a couple of minutes, they came up to the desk to tell me that they had found their phone….in the safe, on top of their passports and an envelope full of dollars….You should have seen my face!!! My mouth dropped open and my eyes became the size of saucers, I swear!!! I just couldn’t believe what I was hearing!!!! Of course they said that had already checked the save that night and couldn’t find it there at that time, again practically accusing someone else of having placed it back in the safe, while they were out. So I told her that the only people who can get into that safe are them, because they know the code and the engineer, but he never goes in there unless the guests have forgotten their code, and he only opens is when one of the guests is there to see him do it. Plus they would have to reset their code afterwards, and that wasn’t the case with them….
Plus I told the CRD when we talked about it that none of the crewmembers would be interested in her phone, when they probably already had the latest in technology they could find, so what would they want with her old phone?! Later I heard her repeat that to that lady, not in so many words, but it was really funny!!
So they probably didn’t take all of the stuff out of the safe when they went through it to look for it…probably were too drunk to see straight anyway, because this was the same lady that said the bar had charged her for a whisky cola, when she had a whisky with ginger ale (the first being 30 cents less than if they had charged everything separate….)
Anyway, I was glad the phone was back where it was supposed to be, but I hated her for making all that fuss and then later saying she wasn’t sure if they had left it in the restaurant, so she wasn’t even sure if it really never left the room…and she said she didn’t really use it that much anyway…then why in God’s name are you looking for it in the middle of the night?????? Plus after she had put her services on hold, she asked Jayson to call the number, but of course he only got her voicemail at that time, because it wasn’t working. That’s what our HM also said, why didn’t she give Geanina the number and have her call it, so they could trace the sound of it when it was ringing..instead of making all that noise and putting her services on hold??
So, yeah, that was kind of a weird day so to speak!
Meanwhile I have been in my new room, with my new roommate for about 5 days now and we get along great! We’re able to talk and laugh with eachother and it is really
