@paulandstorm thanks for reply and info. It was clear working around events at Alahambra esp was an issue. Perhaps tho some of that could have been in Studio B instead of Karyoke earlier in night? However I know I do not have all the facts and having organized events it can be tough.
Minor issues ..as a new monkey it was much more difficult to meet others with no nametags at joco hotel, , and more difficult to know what was up the next day with no newsletter available as on boat. twitaaar seemed to overwhelm server but I understand it was better than past and is a RC limitation. Shadow events were sometimes well advertised but not always esp when hard to get twittaar..tables to put flyers/notices out about shadow or games looking for players not only in game room/desk but also say near alahambra merch table might help. Mics and sound system at pool events so loud hard to understand at times. As a newbie I could not easily spot helper or ambassador monkeys..something more visible like colored lanyard or similar might help. Wristbands not always easy to spot inless right there. First 1.5 days felt rushed. No celebrity QA. Adjustable length lantards and a pocket to put seapass in would be great.
Here are things I liked: most everything, swag with theme, excellent policing of keeping our events private, the lanyards with different messages, programming ( a little too much regular karyoke for me but others likely disagree), performers, custom name tags (darker letters needed tho), our own beer, our own excursions, great shows, well organized overall, respecting performers desire not to be recorded, morning announcements, excellent organization, nice ship, office hours, great home office staff…very helpful and accommodating, clear email communications in advance, clear explanations on things like cancel of why ball pit cancelled, the daily newsletter, game room, tasteful mention of sponsors and advertising for JCCC5 (info in writing would have been nice tho), opening and closing receptions, friendly and great attitude of fellow monkeys…having open mic for budding performers, just the cruise overall was Fabulous!!!! I consider all negatives as relatively minor. The love and enthusiasm put into it shows.
Thank you Home Office, performers, RC staff and fellow monkeys for a great time!
