First of all I would like to say I would really give this cruise a 1 but have read you should ignore really bad reviews hence a score of 3.This was only my second cruise,so perhaps I had the performance bar set too high,(previous cruised the Astor).The cabin had the "Wow" effect on first entering,no complaints about the cabin or cabin stewards in fact could not speak high enough of them.If I was to try and list all complaints I would be here all day,one finger typist.My biggest over all complaint was the food in the Pantry,I ended up referring to it as The Pig Pen.It had a horrible smell when entering from the lido end,just like pigs swill smelt in my younger days.I think it came from the wast food area.First day I thought I would spoil myself with a full breakfast,big mistake,the bacon although plenty of it was like trying to eat bacon jerky,very hard to chew,but at least it lasted a long time.Orange juice was like colored water,unlike in the waterfront restaurant where it was real orange juice,why the difference?They run out of packet salt on the 8th day,therefor defeated the object of doing away with serving yourself.Hundreds of people handled the salt grinder spreading god knows what.Ran out of white sliced bread on the 9th day for toast,how can this happen.I must say here that the freshly made bread rolls were very nice,that's if you queued up for the butter at another counter and let your breakfast get even colder.Complaints to supervisor went unheeded. I must say here that ALL service staff were very good and I never aimed complaints at them.Always tried to go to those responsible.Refused chips on last day to go with fish and chips,told chips for children only.Fish and chips was one of the better meals,as the queue showed.Slimy hardly cooked potatoes were the alternative,unedable. Will try and upload photo.Blocked toilet 24hrs after reporting no action taken,still blocked along with other public toilets when leaving ship.I could go on,but if you decide to cruise on this ship,don't say you were not warned.I ignored the bad reviews and paid the price
