I worked at the same job for nearly 30 years plus I had one unique goal in mind… No matter how much I disliked my job I stuck it out because I wanted to have a fantastic retirement, then towards the end that became really difficult however I managed to make my 30 years plus I put in my notice that really day.
- I had plans for my retirement that included traveling, and within the first three months I had a trip booked to take a cruise down to the Caribbean.
The travel agent that I worked with had a special where I could see various of the islands at one time plus I thought it would be perfect. The cruise line that he books me on had a fairly fantastic reputation so I was confident that I would be comfortable aboard ship as my pal and I ventured between the islands. When I arrived plus was shown to my apartment I realized that I should have spent a little more on my trip plus gotten a room with a window that opened. Apparently the ventilation system aboard was less than adequate plus the air felt like it was stagnant, then i asked the crew member if there was a way to increase the ventilation in that area of the ship plus they said that there was not. This led me to spending most of my time up top on the deck so that I could at least breathe in the fresh air. I had no option but to sleep in my apartment however I was tempted from time to time to just pull up a lounge chair plus sleep outside. The islands were charming plus I’m glad that I took the trip however I learned a really costly lesson when it comes to taking a cruise. I will now always inquire as to the quality of the HVAC system of board prior to taking a trip.
