Did the Captain have a screw loose? The guy first sailed southeast to Bermuda as Hurricane Bertha was approaching that island by heading northwest. The first two days at sea were therefore nauseating. We should have been at Bermuda the morning of July 11th but finally on the afternoon of the 10th, Popeye announced that travelling to Bermuda would be too dangerous and instead he was changing his heading to due south past Florida thru the Windward Passage to San Juan. Three cheers for El Capitan. But that made for three full days at sea and the passengers stood on all the decks yelling, "Land, land, we want to see land."
One engine was disabled as we left NY. The ship was running on 5 instead of 6 engines and they knew it before leaving port. So from where did it get the energy to continue? By cutting back on air conditioning to the cabins, lounges and dining rooms. That created a major problem and all we got were excuses.
Because of lack of proper ventilation or just plain lack of maintenance, there was a musty odor throughout the place, especially bad in the hallways and dining rooms. I had to spend thousands of dollars on a massive floating apartment complex with body odor?
