Flyer Talk and Trip Advisor were blocked for more than two hours this evening on hotel wifi.

Photos of the ship, a handful of passengers, only one of the lifeboats they used to courier passengers up to 94 at a time (it made 10+ trips back and forth to the ship once we started counting) and other imagery.

The photo of the ship from the Quiet Zone pool gives excellent context for its position and scale.

To w wet one reading, it’s about the size of it, the lack of notice from hotel management, the inexcusable behavior of many of the cruise liner visitors and the complete interruption of everything this resort espouses itself to be.

People have travelled from all over the world at great expense, financial and otherwise, to be here as guests. Forget points, how about airfare, food. drinks, treatments and excursions, babysitters, dog sitters, etc.

This isn’t about getting compensated, it’s about basic decency getting what you sign up for. It’s also about honoring guests that have spent months of their time over several holidays at the Conrad being subordinated to a grotesque corporate money grab.

And remember that it was Valentine’s Day.

Some very bad stories will come out over the next few weeks.

This is a view of the ship. It’s a cruise liner. It doesn’t matter how many rooms it has. The cruise visitor in white in the water is wearing underwear. White underwear. In the water.
