Going home.....

We arrived into Boston this morning around 0530 as I awoke. I said my goodbyes to friends and got my stuff together to head home. I heard and interesting and very sad story this morning. Talk about ineffectual feedback!!!! The shore excursion staff on this voyage was very poor as I have previously mentioned. I heard this morning that the one who was the most rude and condescending to guests got a promotion for her next contract to Manager. This definitely falls into the unbelievable category. If the Indonesian or Filipino crew treated guests in the same manner as this woman they would be heading home. Promotion???? Amazing stuff. I don't care since I will make a point in staying away from that staff in the future. The Rotterdam & Amsterdam had an excellent shore excursion staff. I got to the airport this morning around 0930 and checked on taking an earlier flight and I was successful. The only downside was that while I got to Philadelphia 2 hours earlier my outbound flight remained the same. It was a good move to get out of Boston though because there is definitely a lot going on there today. I am currently sitting in the Philadelphia Airport using free internet.... Yeah!!!! Once again, I cannot thank Andre & Firmin enough for a fabulous voyage (shore excursion staff aside). I hope they have smooth seas as they take the Maasdam forward on the next voyage. I look forward to the day when I have the privilege to sail again with them.
