Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Andrea, Peter & Marlouis were the most capable waiters in 14 day cruise. (Any-Time Dining). George was a pompas idiot. Ignacious was helpful at Tour Desk, It took 6 hours and 4 phone calls to have broken glass cleaned up in bathroom, Why pay for Balcony if glass is always dirty? Scullary was across hall from my room, 3 gorillas were set loose to make as much noise as they could: Banging metal, clashing dishes, Metal tables thrown around every night at 2 a.m.... Woke me from a dead sleep!!! (They offered to move me to one of 2 rooms, but they had problems too). I called several different nights, they would send staff up to quiet the gorillas, but still, every night was just as bad.

Ship tip

Bring manager with you. "No" is spoken often: "No", I can't check that for you, "No", we don't have Blue Berries, "No", you can not have O.J. with your eggs Benedict for brunch, "No", I' not supposed to clean your Balcony door or glass, "No", we don't have iced tea or lemonade at the cafe... Only expensive coffee or alcohol for you to buy, "No"' you can't ride your scooter on 2 of 4 excursions you bought, much less, get off the ship on our tender... "No", we don't have that jacket in Large... (They did, I got one the next day).
