Cruise Blogging - Day Six

The night before the cruise returned to LA, we obtained our on-board charges statement and found one small charge that was erroneous. The customer next to us at the pursers desk was complaining about his Internet usage charges. He first explained how he wasn't able to get access, then what he had tried to do to get it working.

"So, I went to the help desk. The guy told me I needed to go up to the top deck to be closer to the satellite."

The customer clearly thought this was as silly as we did, so it seems clear that he did not just misunderstand the help desk guy. I wonder how many people this works on?

In any case, we had a great time! This was our first cruise. We hadn't really considered going on a cruise until multiple groups of people we thought would never ever enjoy a cruise came back raving about them. We may be converts now too. Not that we want to give up on the hiking/camping types of vacations, but this was definitely relaxing.

Things we should have brought but didn't:
* sun hat
* zip-up sweatshirt
* a conference lanyard for the cruise card which you always need with you if you want back into your room
* a watch
