Someone didn't bother doing ANY research ! I would LOVE a cruise with all sea days on any ship !

The trip is always what YOU make of it. This is a smaller ship and if you have picked this Vessel it is because you want a smaller ship. You can't and should not expect big ship comforts. I'm sorry they did not find the cruise to their liking, but your experience will differ. Board with an open mind and let the ship present itself to you as the days go by. Happy cruising to all.

Should have done your research before going. Why complain, maybe smaller ships are not for you. Maybe cruising isn’t for you. You seem to complain about everything. Life is too short to complain about something that should be a great time no matter what. I love all size ships. Everyone has its own charm.

You chose the ship and the itinerary. Next time do your research and pick s ship you will like. And you need to tip everywhere you go.

Smaller ships are not for everyone just like larger ships aren’t. Recommend researching before you book so you have a better idea of what to expect.

It sounds like cruising may not be for you. Many are satisfied reading a book, sitting on deck and watching the ocean or taking a nap and don’t need an amusement park onboard to have a great cruise.
