Birthday cruise turned out to be a big disappointment. A 14 night cruise started great but deteriorated throughout the journey. Small signs encountered along the way indicated something was wrong.
- many typos and wrong scheduling in the cruise compass created communication confusion for guests and staff
- ran out of chicken and turkey sausages on the first day - poor planning or tactic to try and use up pork approaching sell by date? we don't eat pork so no protein choice at breakfasts. What was worse the head chef was adamant there was chicken sausage on board and after coming to our table every night to check our breakfast was fine and then making calls whilst we tried to dine made things embarrassing worse.
Cabin house keeping was great but underlying issue with shower drainage and chemicals ruined the holiday.
