There were so many situations I am sure I won't remember them all. The staff seemed untrained, although there was improvement as the cruise progressed. The first night the dishwasher was malfunctioning creating a screeching noise the entire meal. The food was good, but not impressive, as on our other cruises. There seemed to be less variety in the restaurants than on the other cruises we have experienced. The ship wasn't unclean, but it didn't sparkle. The windows were dirty, and we infrequently saw staff cleaning in the public areas, The engine was noisy making conversation difficult in the restaurant. Even when seating wasn't directly over the engine, it was difficult to converse due to the noise level. The activities provided for on ship days that interested me didn't fit our schedule. Most of them were immediately before dinner. Usually we put some effort dressing for dinner.

I am sure there is more, but I don't remember examples. Bottom line, we have always felt special on cruises due to the manner in which we are treated by the staff, and the way the ship is run. We didn't feel special on this cruise.

Mid-Ship Inside

There wasn't anything special about the room, but we didn't have any complaints either. One item I did really like was that mid cruise they offered a laundry special. The special made it more affordable and thereby allowed us to have our clothes cleaned. The clothes were handled appropriately too.
