Is This A Joke?
If you don't know the "inside" story this seems sort of mean!
Last sea day and I was wandering the ship when I came across this. As you probably know cruise ships are quite well known for serving copious amounts of food 24 hours a day. Doesn't matter what time it is you can always find something to eat and if you're lazy you can have it delivered to your cabin, no charge!
When I came across this i actually stopped for a minute and did a bit of pondering. Was this a cruel joke played by the crew on the guests or was there something else going on?
One of the ship's officers happened to be walking by so I asked him what the deal was. His official story was that there were scales placed around the ship so that passengers could weigh their luggage and avoid a heavy bag surcharge with the airlines. A little investigation with one of the crew revealed that this truly was the case.
I appreciate that Holland America was out to save folks a few dollars but considering the placement of this I still think that somewhere down deep inside that someone had a plan to take the mickey out of all of us!
