Unfortunately, from what I have experienced/heard, unless you go up from the main cruise lines to the costlier all inclusive (no “tips”, etc) lines, the issues mentioned will be there. Cruises have gotten so popular that they can do the (no) cutbacks and still have folks going. Wonder how long until most folks get fed up with the (no) cutbacks?

Sorry such minor issues impacted your cruise to the extent of changing cruise lines.
