This was my first cruise and I was traveling with two other women who are both avid cruise fans. My husband and I prefer independent travel but he wanted me to experience a cruise sans him!

One of the women is a leg amputee so much care was taken in deciding on the stateroom. We chose Concierge Class (AC). The room did accommodate her needs.

After reading all the fluff about the concierge class I expected just about the best of everything a cruise had to offer. There was supposed to be a pillow menu - we never saw one. The fruit was fresh on day one but after that uneaten fruit was just turned over and not replaced. The so called fresh flower arrangement consisted of a single stem of alstroemeria stuck in a vase which had holes for three stems. There was supposed to be an extra hand held hairdryer but when we asked the room attendant where it was located he said none of the rooms had more than one dryer. The fact that there were three people in the room just didn't register with the staff. There were just two sets of towels, two bathrobes and even when ordering room service for three - silver and napkins were always provided for two. But the worst misconception was the accommodation for the third person's sleeping arrangements. Pictures showed a sofa which could be made into a bed. When we walked into the cabin I saw a corner seat - no sofa - and that was indeed what became the most disgusting bed I've ever seen. When made up the mattress was hardly six inches off the floor. This was where a 71 year old had to sleep for a week. The difficulty of getting up off the bed was totally unacceptable. The bed was never put back to into a seat for the day during the entire cruise - just this bedding mess lying on the floor. Why did she have to pay a premium price for such a disgrace?
