On the Radiance the weekend cruise is usually a big party. We did the weekday cruise right before you boarded and the service and food was great and the noise level of the passengers was appropriate. In August we took the same cruise during the week and it was crazy. The passengers were rude, loud and very inconsiderate. The food was mediocre. Felt very crowded overall. Glad we tried it again and enjoyed it better!

All cruise lines and hotels have staffing shortages. I've been on 8 cruises in 16 months; 5 Carnival, 2 Royal and 1 MSC. It's universal across the board.

Sounds like the typical cruise post Covid.
