Cruise was satisfactory, however the staff was inadequate and inexperienced. We were disappointed that there seemed to be no serious attempt at providing the social experience or entertainment experience that had been advertised and promised. We were continually told that the staff was short due to covid.

We were continually asked by the staff how we wanted something, food or service, then received what appeared to be whatever they had available.

There was limited, if any, entertainment, the personal service was non-existent, we paid for a butler and specific requests to be fulfilled and did not receive it. The service was overly solicitous, but unhelpful. we and many other passengers commented on the lack of language ability of the inexperienced staff, misunderstandings were common.
