I bought 2 tickets and unfortunately we will not be able to use them. No refunds, so we would prefer if someone can get some use out of them!
I am booked on the MSC Grandiosa, three cabins in our "group" booking, 10 people (my siblings, parents, kids) out of Civitavecchia port Nov 23. MSC requires you pay for their cruise line excursions to get off the ship at any European ports, fine. But the MSC website doesn't have ANY details for 90% of the excursions, just a price. Example? Barcelona. 11 excursions with ambiguous names like "Panoramic Barcelona, 3 hrs" with absolutely ZERO details. Is this a walking tour? Bus tour? Where are we going? Parc Guell? La Sagrada? Who knows! Not even MSC could help.
I called MSC today, one hour wait, and the MSC agent said she didn't know what any of the excursions were either, and also that she can't talk to me because I booked through a (useless) agent... (FWIW, he isn't an agent I chose, but the cruise agency assigned me this POS agent after my "real" agent was let go in the pandemic... I booked this trip pre-pandemic), and apparently she also can't see excursions for me at all because our three cabins are booked as a group and "group excursions are only bookable with the group dept" which is only open on weekdays (but that shouldn't apply to us because 10 people isn't enough to satisfy the 25 person minimum of true "group excursions" anyway - something she didn't know). Oh, and also, she refused to just pretend I was a curious non-booked passenger in researching excursions because she's either really bad at her job, or MSC is just the f*cking worst. Maybe both.
She also didn't know that MSC even has a policy about not being allowed off-ship at port without a cruise line sponsored excursion. I told her verbatim what it says on the MSC website and she sounded shocked, making me even more frustrated. And she wouldn't transfer me. So guess I'll waste another hour on hold tomorrow hoping I get someone better. How fun.
TLDR, does anyone know how I can get details about MSC's European excursions since that info isn't available through MSC? Lmao how can a company be this fcking shtty?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π
It really does, I swear!
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But thatβs comparing apples to oranges
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
And boy are my arms legs.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
BamBOO!
