Helloooo….??? – At Sea – [04/20/2019]

Hey is this an audience or a mosaic ? ~ Hades, Disney’s Hercules

Every group of guests is a little bit different. Last cruise was fantastic, they were fun-loving, enthusiastic, and responsive. That…seems to have changed this time around.

I mean, the people are certainly friendly enough but…they are so quiet. They don’t seem to ask a single question, they don’t tell me when they’re lost and when I ask them a question? Silence and blank-eyed stares. I mean, half my teaching style depends on the fact that if I can make them laugh they are way more likely to remember what I say. But these guys? It feels like talking to stone!

So it’s a bit of a challenge, especially since it seems that they also don’t particularly want to listen to instructions? I mean, I will tell them specifically not to do something, and then of course they do it, and then they get stuck and blame it on me? In how many different ways can I tell someone “please do not attempt to follow this step by step on the machines in front of them, I know from experience it will cause the machine to freeze, just watch and listen for now” before they actually listen.

As I said, like talking to a brick wall this bunch.

But, I can will win them over…slowly but surely, I always win them over!
