Sunday-Oahu Embarkation: After boarding, my wife, Val, and I decided to join our friends at the pool. I went to the bar to turn in my order as the limited floor help was quite busy.

Finally, I was able to get the attendants attention only to be told that I was in a service area, even though there were no service people in this area, and he was not going to serve me in this area. I shared my frustration with him, left and never went to that bar again the entire cruise.
