We have been cruising for the past five years, usually aboard Carnival. Up until this trip, which was on the Island Princess, we always had nothing but great things to say about the crew and activities. This shop lacked both.
The crew was non-attentive and sometimes rude. They were very good at saying "yes" to your requests, but more times than not they did not give us what we asked for, or just ignored our request completely.
We had anytime dining (which I would not recommend)this had to be the slowest dining ever, and confused wait staff. Typically, we went to dinner by 6:30 and did not get out of the dining room until 8:30 or later. When we asked to have a table for two, we were handed a pager and told it would be about 15 minutes. Well, 15 minutes always turned into at least a half hour or more and one time they even scratched off our names without seating us. This entire crew seemed to lack attention to detail and organizational skills. The food was average nothing spectacular stands out to report about. They didn't even serve lobster & filet mignon on formal night.
tiny bathroom; noisy room; rude crew; nothing to write home about
