I just returned from the 10-30-05 Exotic Western sailing. We had a wonderful time but this cruise was only as good as what you made of it. Getting on the ship was so easy as was finding your cabin and getting your luggage.
The cabin was fine nothing special but everything you need. We booked an expanded balcony but it didn't seem any bigger and the glass was dirty the whole trip. By the end of the week you couldn't see through it. The cabin stewart was only ok. She wasn't worth the tip we gave her (in my opinion) Our room was made every day but not cleaned. There was enough sand on the floor to make a sand castle. The towel creatures the kids love most times looked like a pile of towels on the bed unable to determine what they were. Where are the clocks? Everything on the ship has a starting time but the cruiser has no clue what time it is. I asked for a clock for the room and was told I needed to buy a watch from the gift shop!!
The food was wonderful in the dinning room and the buffet. I thought the coffee need some getting used to though. The wait staff though attentive was very, very slow.
