Thank you for posting your review. The production show isn't our favorite aspect of cruising anymore and so we empathize with your exasperation. My opinion is that these may go by the wayside as cruising habits and preferences evolve into other "theatre" experiences. The diving platform and skating shows are examples of what I mean.
As for the cabin steward issue, we have had positive and less than positive experiences with stewards over the years. Sometimes, I think that their supervisors put the fear of god into them providing direction as to what they should and should not do. It usually results in the customer service pendulum shifting from one extreme to the other. My hope is that customer service improves on cruise ships. They could all use some cross-cultural training, imho.
Glad you had an enjoyable time overall.
