I second @Thalandor46’s request for more training, or at least a printed/online resource for us to read beforehand, for the Helper Monkeys. Admittedly, I got to the orientation a couple minutes late, but I did ask for the recap and it turned out we didn’t miss much. Although I wore my Helper Monkey wristband all week, I was kind of relieved that no one asked me anything, since it wasn’t always easy to find the “Head Helper Monkeys” and I didn’t really feel like I could answer most questions beyond the obvious ones.
I also like the suggestion of putting a specific time/place for tech support on the schedule. I’m married to @origamislayer, and this cruise and last, I barely saw him the first two days as he spent a lot of his time helping people get set up on Twitt-arrr. Would be nice if there were a designated time for that so I could have my husband back. 🙂
@SapphireMind voiced something I was feeling as well (but wasn’t going to say): I don’t like the censored songs. In a way, I did find the lyric change to “First of May” funny, but I do kind of resent having my entertainment censored because of children. I don’t blame the parents for this, though; I just think the entertainers should do their shows as intended and let parents decide whether or not it’s appropriate for the kids. It’s not that hard to put a PG-13 warning in the schedule or announce it at the start of a show — I’ve often heard Paul and Storm do that at the beginning of their shows, and never seen any parents taking their kids out of the room.
About David Rees and the Temperance Brigade: I think fewer and fewer people will be joining it as they realize how useful Twitt-arrr and CruiseMonkey are. If he won’t lighten up on the on-board apps, he may find that the joke has fizzled. Either way, my policy on that since the dawn of Twitt-arrr has been to ignore him. So far, no lightning has come to strike me dead for using technology on the ship.
