One week left of our holiday. We noticed how after
three weeks on board the Golden Princess some passengers are starting to become
hostile. Not with us but what we are observing. One woman passenger complained
about how dry the food was during lunch to the catering staff, one passenger
was aggressive towards another passenger because she took out her completed
clothes out of the washing machine so she could use it next. Nevertheless, our
spirits are high. After today we have four stops across eastern New Zealand
with the major sea days behind us. The only complaint we have are the handicapped
people on board. Must be at least 10 percentage of the total passengers. Mostly
using walkers, walking canes and even hiking sticks that look like praying
mantis when in use. However it is the motorised wheel chaired invalids who are
the worst. As we were walking through the casino lounge a very, very, very and
we mean over 200klg male in one of these machines came past us from behind and
nearly took our feet out. Must have been doing at least 15 kph! And no way we
could hear him coming – a silent killer, they are! They are mostly Americans
and even one couple who have one normal wheel chair between them share this
device on a frequent basis – who is the handicapped person we asked? We see
some walk around the vessel unimpeded but when it comes to the waiting line
they are up front taking advantage of their perceived walking problem. There
are legit passengers with handicaps and we help these people when required but
those ones who are so obese and need the have a motorised contraption to get
from A to B we avoid. We are near Auckland and the seas are rough today. Not
much happened today – the usual dancing practice and sharing stories with our
four Arizonan friends. Tomorrow we have a city tour of Auckland and during the
pm hours hope to update our blogspot once we find a high speed internet café.
So we hope all our back posts will be on the internet.
Cheers.
