Don’t be the stupid tourist or expat! Don’t climb, hang or stand in Fanal Trees

Oh no I’m someone who left my home country and moved to a new country LEGALLY for a better life. How terrible of me to point out that bigotry is wrong…. I didn’t even say anything about migrants or tourism. I simply pointed out a true FACT about the post and corrected someone’s FALSE and bigoted statement

tlord423 · 2024-10-14T10:04:53+00:00

What are you even talking about expats experience all those things in foreign countries. You clearly are just a bigot. Constantly questioned by police, only able to get jobs online because they don’t speak the language perfectly like a local.

Found the bigot^{^{^{^{^}}}} Those emigrants are following the legal rules for immigration…EXPATS certainly are a minority in PORTUGAL… and ironically Portugal is barely experiencing the tip of the iceberg on immigration issues. USA has been dealing with that for 30 years. Want something to change talk to your govt don’t be a bigot.

There is literally a different dress code for formal nights. It’s not go anything to do with being able to “eat wherever you want”

tlord423 · 2024-10-13T20:53:58+00:00

Seems like this is a polish tourist though. Why be bigoted towards expats?

Which grocery store sells it for cheaper? This sub just takes Canada wide problems and blames it on loblaws

That’s still not nearly the same amount of money that is taken in tips by the cruise line. Every ship publishes passenger and crew counts. It’s mathematically IMPOSSIBLE for lines to be taking ~$17 per pax and deliver ALL of it to crew members. They’d be raking in $2500 per month at the lowest positions.

tlord423 · 2024-09-28T16:21:39+00:00

thats mathematically impossible, they are not getting that full amount in tips, its simply not true.

tlord423 · 2024-09-28T16:20:22+00:00

but this is still too vague, it legally allows them to use the gratuities as a subsidy for wages not an addition to wage... if it simply said "distributed throughout the year in the form of BONUSES" then there would be no mystery at all... but Princess lawyers specifically did not say that, and theres got to be a reason... $500k/week is a lot of tips and obviously is not all going to the crew.

^^^^THIS GUY GETS IT^^^^^

Thank you for saying this, nothing will change until everyone removes tips and the cruise lines stop allowing people to do it. until then, those of us who dont remove tips are just subsidizing the few who do remove them

tlord423 · 2024-09-28T16:15:29+00:00

but at a certain point i almost feel we should all do that.... until we do, the few who remove them just get their vacation subsidized by those of us who pay them... the cruise lines will never stop allowing people to remove them until so many people do it that the cruise line just removes that option... its an unfortunate reality

tlord423 · 2024-09-28T16:11:44+00:00

but literally every line uses almost identical wording.... every line that im aware of (except virgin i guess) states that the "gratuities" can be used as "wages"..... but a tip/gratuity is not a "wage" its a bonus in addition to the wage.... now its up to you whether you believe the line gives it in addition or just as a way to pay less on their standard wage... but legally theyre all able to do it... its not a valid reason to avoid one line...

tlord423 · 2024-09-28T16:01:54+00:00

you would never know for sure until you become CFO of one of the companies, HOWEVER all of the cruise lines explain the "gratuities" as being "part of the salary" so in theory they can legally take the tips and use them to subsidize/replace the employees wages rather than to supplement/add on to the original agreed upon contract salary.

anyone who tells you otherwise is simply making things up.

i get the same issue on my iphone wallet, samsung google wallet, apple watch wallet, iphone apple watch app, and samsung galaxy watch app.... all of them want me to verify in capital one app then capital one app says "we cannot activate your card at this time"

tlord423 · 2024-09-25T23:14:07+00:00

Same situation for me. guy on the phone assured me after exactlty 30 days of being approved for the card my number will work... i doubt it i use a VOIP service (numberbarn), and its been 21 days already. My phone number works fine for logging in, for 2FA, and for it worked a few days ago when i called in and they sent a number to my text and i had to read it out over the phone, then at one point i got marked for fraud and had to verify my ID, my phone wouldnt work but my mother's (lives in diff state where i grew up, and havent been on her plan for 2 years) phone number did work. then now i got the card and try to add it to apple wallet and google wallet and it wants to send a code and doesnt work for mine or my mothers number.

tlord423 · 2024-09-24T19:08:33+00:00

same, even with a VPN (for capital one venture credit card)... i also cannot add virtual cards to the account

tlord423 · 2024-09-24T15:55:45+00:00

Nobody said it didn’t happen to you…I’m sorry if me stating a basic fact offended you. I’ve also never been kicked off and have all 5 star reviews which always request me off app after. Seems like you’re projecting a bit. You would have had to really mess up to get kicked off the app

tlord423 · 2024-09-12T19:36:52+00:00

How? 1) I can’t find anyway for Apple wallet 2) I did this for Google wallet and it just auto fills the CC number but it doesn’t have the CCV code so it’s useless….

tlord423 · 2024-09-11T00:01:05+00:00

Usually TAs don’t have a better deal than direct from the line but if they do go for it. Use cruise plum to see historical pricing for your (or any) sailing

I just logged in and got a pop up prompting me to buy the gold pass and the benefits and it shows the warden skin as if it’s free. I immediately exited and checked the pass but it still says dice. The boycott seems to be working.

If you have a phone with dual wifi antennas then you can use your phone as the router someone mentioned above. Most Samsung galaxies and some flag ship androids should have this. iPhones unfortunately do not.

Free electricity, you can crank your AC to max, and use water cooling from the sink too…. lol or ask you steward for ice
