Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The Venetian dining room was not good and the service had much to be desired .The Aqua dining room was much better and our waiter Caesar was the best, very attentive and helpful . We did not go to a specialty dining room, the buffets were OK, just another cruise buffet

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Waiters and room steward were great. I did however have a bad experience with a lady named Anita at the shore excursions desk who was very rude. Also had trouble with some of the staff in the casino who didn’t seem to know how to count or no rules.

Venetian was always great in our opinions. Plus, a gorgeous view and such great service everywhere. We had a balcony. Plenty of room. And I agree, room steward was amazing! Our wait to get on was just a walk right on because we decided not to go real early like the crowds

Staff was awesome! Spoiled us rotten when we were there and gave us more respect than we expected. But that was just how we were treated. Loved it!

We are all foreigners when we travel but that doesn't diminish the importance of the fact that we should be polite . Politeness is a universal concept.

"the foreigners" I think you need "politeness lessons" 🙄
