I guess if you treat people how you want to be treated you wouldnt of had your issues.

We’ve been on her twice, with the most recent being a Journey Cruise in April 2018. Food and staff was excellent. I’m confident that if I’d been on the OP’s cruise we would have enjoyed it just as much as the first two cruises on her. I find that the perspective of the cruiser has a lot to do with it...

Too bad you thought the food was awful 😳 there always seems to be a lot to choose from if you don’t like one pick another one??? That’s one of the perks being on a cruise all the food you can ever eat 😎😎😎 Hopefully your next experience will be better. Go in with an open mind enjoy yourself no matter what anyone else is complaining about. Life is short we get a very limited time to vacation or to relax.

Was awesome the two times I was on her so far this year. Must have changed the crew and chefs.
