I can’t imagine, or maybe I can, what this ship would feel like at capacity. I think I mentioned that it is at about 70%. Mornings are fine, there is enough room in most of the lounges for people to spread out and relax. It starts getting more difficult about mid-day and by sometime in the afternoon there isn’t a place in any of the lounges that counts as a quiet area.
Why do I mention this? Because there just seems to be too many people spending their life on line. It is one thing if they are reading or streaming something while wearing headphones. It is something completely else when you share your family phone call with all in a 10 meter radius.
Sorry – I really don’t care how cute your grandchildren are. My grandsons are wonderful. But I don’t need to have a FaceTime session with them when sitting somewhere that I am sharing it with people around me. Especially if they are attempting to – oh let us say – read a real hardcopy book, or carry on a quiet conversation, or work out their next three moves in a chess game. Public areas are not private, and most of the time, those around you really aren’t interested in your personal business and really don’t want to hear it…
Off soap box!
And, in case you are wondering – I am staying off Zoom this trip pretty much. And Miriam comes back to the cabin to make her calls.
Oh! Yes – there is this – a new start!

don’t just hate these egoistical people that don’t care about anybody else then themself ?? we had that on the Infinity a couple of times .. everybody was pi….. but only my dear husband went over to tell the people to hush 😀 !
