Review summary

Yes, no game I was out in three seconds, so Sophie nicknamed me three second Kevin. I was greeted 100 times a day by that name my other guests. The Mariage game also made us famous, people called US the pantry couple. I think on the last night you should recognize a couple guests that became famous on the cruise and give them recognition. All the shows and gameS were great, except for the comedian. He did not engage us at all, simply stood up there, telling a story. The pizza, tacos, and ice cream we’re good, the sushi place was awful. The chef was very demeaning to his employees, and when he got mad he threw pieces of paper. Plus, he left the counter with his gloves on and dug through a cabinet and went right back and use the same gloves to touch raw food, it was disgusting. We were there 30 minutes and I still did not have my sake a guy took my order and went and stood out in the hallway talking to girls for 15 or 20 minutes instead of getting me my drink the chef causes a hostile working environment. My wife spoke to the employees in Tagalog , they also said the same thing they hate how they are treated We ate at the Buffay a few times and didn’t enjoy it like we did on all our other cruises.
