What other Cruise? You could have gone to seaday brunch and ordered off the menu. Plenty of choices from the menu in the main dining room for dinner or breakfast

It don’t seem like a cruise is for you?? You really haven’t mentioned anything you liked. It’s really what you make of it, your entertainment is right there, a wide selection of places to eat Right there, a wide variety of food on the lido/ buffet right there, any questions you may have is a phone call away, you get mail everyday giving you the whole days itinerary of some really fun things to do. We are hooked, we love it and really look forward to cruising, I guess it’s not for everyone 😢

That’s why we always get a suite, so we have places to sit other than the bed. You might want to consider getting a bigger cabin next time. When did you sail?
