I always made enough money...I didn't feel the need to typecast my tables. Some people just don't know the proper etiquette...it is what it is. An asshole is an asshole, though. I loved when people would come in and just be angry at the world from the get go...why does those miserable people even want to go out? Or breathe?

Have you ever checked out cruise ship reviews? A misplaced origami towel will ruin the whole trip. It's scary.
When I did my Alaska trip back in 2010, I came back from Anchorage to Vancouver on a cruise ship. It was inexpensive and much nicer than flying. I didn't have dress clothes so I didn't attend the "formal dinners", but a couple at my table apparently flew into a wild rage at an incident at one of the dinners. I was told later by another person at the table that there was yelling and anguish and in the end the couple walked out of the dining room never to return. The other people at the table were mortified to be sitting there while it was going on.
The incident? When they brought the dinners, they accidentally set the man's entree in front of the woman, and vice versa. When they complained, the waiter picked up the two plates and switched them, and they thought he should have thrown the food away and brought two new entrees.
