My pet peeve is the theatre popcorn. Its the folks who try and make the loudest crunching noises through the whole show - just distracts my attention. I had a child eating popcorn with their mouth open the entire show nearby.
Just my own pet peeve.
This is a problem for me in theaters anywhere. Maybe I am just WAAAAY hypersensitive to the sound of popcorn being chewed, but it drives me crazy.
Sadly for me, my kids LOVE movie theater popcorn.
That is why I find the loudest theater I can. Sadly my wife fell asleep watch Big Hero 6 because it was too quite. I can understand that being its on a ship.
Non supervised kids at Cabanas grabbing food with their hands.
Other pet peeves:
- People who crowd in front of everyone else in the food line at CC to demand their special "hypo allergenic" meals (yes, I'm talking to YOU, lady!)
-
-People who do not dress properly for dinner or really any dress code in general that gets broken annoys me. If it says formal night, it means formal, not formal optional, not loafers and a polo...that is golf attire. I packed a gown and a tuxedo to eat in the MDR that night...if that is too much for you, eat somewhere else. If it says no swimwear...put on a darn coverup..
I also agree with many of the others about trying to get through the crowd in the terminal to get on the ship. DCL needs more seats. That might help?
I wish I could get a real clear honest answer on tipping in Palo and Remy. I have been told so many different "guidelines." Even the email from DCL on the subject was vague. I know it's so I will probably tip more, but I'd like to know what is the proper amount to make sure I am tipping correctly.

You are never going to get a room of Gowns and Tuxes. Wrong cruise line . You will see a few. We are on the NYE cruise and I will not be wearing a gown, don't own one and don't ever need one. Our clothes are probably more semi formal but that is ok. Doesn't bother me what people are wearing, polo shirts are better then a t-shirt.
My husband bought a tuxedo in his 20's because we cruise and also travel for business often. I guess I just do not get how people can pay thousands of dollars for a cruise and then show up looking like they just rolled out of bed to a formal dinner with the excuse that they have no where to wear the formal clothes and yet they have a CC platinum lanyard. That's 10 opportunities right there! (unless they only did little 3 day turn around cruises) I personally feel that dressing according to the code is a form of respect, but clearly as this thread shows, there are lots and lots of things that different people find to be disrespectful, so we can't win.
We are not dress up people AT ALL, but we can inexpensively find decent clothing for formal/semi-formal nights...got my husband's tux at a thrift store for $25 dollars, perfect fit! My son wears a suit, my daughter's dresses were $6 each at a local outlet...we may only wear them on a cruise, but it's really out of respect for the ship, the Captain, the fellow passengers, if we didn't wear formal, we'd eat elsewhere...we enjoy the time to dress up...
2. My daughters hated not being able to walk through the adult area b/c there was an elevator placed right in there right next to their room...having to walk to the other sets of elevators to get to pools they were allowed in, they would just see an elevator and hit the floor forgetting...then get scowled at...adult area should be an area set apart from main areas/elevators where adults 'go to'...or have signs in elevator saying it was adults only on that side...

DCL's policy on tipping is what tipping used to be all about. Tip what you feel the service was worth to you. Just because one person likes to tip X amount, and another tips XXX amount, it doesn't mean that's what it is worth to you. There are many variables as to whether you feel you had "good" service, "adequate" service, or "outstanding" service. It's all based on your perception.
Kids can walk through.
They just can't use the area.
Adults glaring just don't know the rules are about staying in the area.
Disney did the design, and they messed up.
Just wanted to know what my fellow cruisers pet peeves are?
One of my pet peeves is people not using hand sanitizers.
