Mixed signals from the industry

I read these stories about bigger ships, or ships with go karts, changing menus, etc. But here’s the thing, CoVid is STILL around, but mask mandates and vax requirements are not. We know people are walking off of these ships with some form of Covid. They have to be. Prices drop so that even the lowest strata of society can afford a vacation. We used to save for a year to take a cruise. Now, people seem to take 4 or 5 in a year. I’m not one to judge, but I’ve seen luggage with more duct tape holding it together, than actual luggage material on my last couple of cruises. Dining room attire has become lax ( anything other than a bathing suit apparently ) even in a so called formal night. People don’t even try anymore. And the sense of entitlement !! How rude can people get ? Apparently very rude. Think about this, would you work for a cruise line when you see how some people act ? Staffing a cruise ship was NEVER a problem. Now, they all seem to be understaffed.
just rambling again. Sorry folks
