[i wish i was making this up!]

There was a thread on Cruise Critic asking what the waiters in the MDR(Main Dining Room) are wearing on formal night because he doesn't want to clash with them. Yes, really.

Lots of "you're joking, right?" -type comments..and a few  are offended by some of the more..how shall we say..jokey reactions. He also went after a poster on his thread because he noticed, from their signature-a list of ships that they had been on- that they had been of a few non-Holland America ships and that their opinion was invalid.

And see there is that attitude of "HAL is superior to every other cruise line out there" attitude  that is so prevalent among people at Cruise Critic.

I can't remember if it was R.(her actual first initial) or someone else that said it but she said "I do not dress to Emily Post standards". R. used to be a real thorn in my side when I posted there with any frequency,but now she's frequently the voice of reason on threads that tend to get a little..searches for a word and settles on "ridiculous".

She also was the  voice of reason on a thread where someone got snotty because the OP and a few other posters were asking for comparisons of HAL(Holland America) to other cruise lines.
