30% of the food was "not" good. The first day upon arrival was pretty bad. Just picked through it. The french fries were small, tasteless and dry, even with cheese sauce. Wish they picked better quality potatoes like Steak Fries or hand cut.
There was a group from Chicago making lots of noise in the fine dining area. They were so loud, classless, inconsiderate and abnoxious that people kept leaving their tables early all around them. Think they are the same people from the Wine Train. Some of the late 20s women snorted disgustingly (sucking up their bougars instead of blowing into a napkin) when you stood in the lines.
Staff was astounding. Think the only grumpy one was the blond in the Steakhouse, but i read sexual harassment runs rampant on cruise lines employees so that was understandable. They place a $11.49 per day fee for tips on your bill, which I think was tacky and unexpected. Lots of diamond shops, like who goes on a cruise wanting to buy diamonds? Every time we got off the ship another cluster of diamond shops side by side.
