Review summary

Firstly we had back pain issues but our brilliant cabin boys sorted that out with a topper. The toilet regularly blocked and multiple attempts to get the suction to work were unsuccessful with the bowl alarmingly filling up to the top. The major issue is a significant human faecal smell at three places at the back of the ship, flutes, vista, down stairs 5 at latitude and the squid and anchor bar on 7, The smell occurs intermittently but when in full flow! We left as soon as possible otherwise gagging would ensue. I pointed this out to the customer service who could not care less. Eventually I spoke to restaurant manager who said he would get back to me with a report , nothing was forthcoming. He said this was the first time he had heard about it, which is a blatant untrueth as Facebook is awash with reposts from several people on the boat. The staff in vista are brilliant but I feel sorry for them working in this environment. The preparation handling and consumption of food is potentially hazardous and denial is disingenuous. Mercifully, after a reconisce of vista restaurant ,the smell had abated on the last night ,so we could eat in the best restaurant.
