Review summary

On our 2nd to last day on the ship, we went to the restaurant for brunch time. We were wearing tank tops and shorts, waiting in line with a bunch of other people wearing the same thing, or in many cases even less (swim suits, ect). The lady attending to the line and allowing people in, walked up to me and my partner and told us we needed to get out of the line and go back into the room and change because it wasn’t appropriate. It was odd to me since other people were being allowed in with no issue. We returned once we changed and once again, were in line with people who were wearing the same thing or less. Those other people were let in with no issue and not asked to change. It felt like we were being singled out and discriminated against, possibly because me and my partner are in a same sex relationship. Another evening, the last night on the ship, we were going into the restaurant for dinner and Were at the door way waiting for entry to be seated, like we did the other nights. The person at the front rudely said “what are you waiting for, if you know your table just go sit”. Even though every other night we were told to wait to be seated. The glasses we got had lip stick stains on them, steak was over cooked, bread never came after we asked for more, as well as juice that I had to ask for 3 times. Our waiter, Demitrio and his co-waiter Pura however, were very nice and attentive.
