main dining room food was quite disappointing. I was given a drinking glass that had been used by a previous gust without being washed, it even had fruit juice in it and finger prints all over

Shame you didn’t have the experience you wanted, our recent experience on the Jewel was great but I suppose different strokes for different folks.
