What a lesson I learned today! We're at sea - a few days ago I decided I needed to get my hair highlighted again. I knew the ship salon was expensive but the alternative was to lose several hours in a port just to get my hair done. So I got an appointment for a consultation - this morning I went, picked out my colour and confirmed the appt would be a whopping $179 US plus 20% tip -BUT I had a $150 voucher from the ship and in my mind $50 us was in line with home!
Well certainly I should have asked more questions - turns out the colour was $179, the shampoo and blow-dry was $79 the 20% tip on the whole thing was about $50 - and my voucher didn't go very far. I ended up paying $159 US without even getting my hair cut... most expensive service I've ever had!!!
Tonight was the captain's cocktail party - where there's an open bar from 5:45 to 8pm - so above you'll see Adrian and I enjoying expensive cocktails - our way of trying to drink our my money back! Adrian figures he drank enough to cover the shampoo and blow dry - I didn't quite get the colour cost back! Tomorrow night we're having dinner with the Around the World hosts, Paul and Carolyn, ship pays for the wine again - we'll be working on drinking the rest back then.
We lost another hour tonight so we're now 8 hours ahead of NS.
