We had a wonderful time on our 10/12 cruise and our stateroom host was absolutely wonderful. We really enjoyed him and the kids loved him. Well, on our last night he came into our room to wish us a save journey home and then I couldn't believe my ears, he said to my DD10, "try not to get too fat!". Luckily she didn't really understand him with his accent and for a moment I thought maybe I was hearing things too. But after that he said "next time you come back, you be thin." My DH and I just laughed it off and he left the room. It was one of those moments that, in retrospect, I wish I had grabbed him in the hall and told him that what he just said was an insult to my daughter and that you shouldn't comment on people's weight. I thought about putting this on the survey but I didn't have the heart to do it. He was such a wonderful man and he really did a super job all week. He couldn't have done enough for us. I have just chalked it up to maybe in his country it is not an insult to call people fat. I don't know...I hope he wouldn't intentionally insult a 10 year old.
What would everyone else have done?
