Overall we enjoyed our Ventura experience finding the captain's humour very contagious.
For the main the staff in the dining rooms were helpful and courteous although (as with life generally) a few bad attitudes let down the good guys. The bad and ugly has to be the self service restaurant on the top deck. No smiles or offers of help here, tables taking an age to clear and getting a drink to accompany your meal a real achievement.
Lack of adhering to dress codes was a disappointment as was the calibre of younger passengers sporting tattoos and less than desirable language.
Our cabin initially appeared smaller than we expected but with the clever use of mirrors it was adequate for our needs. The cabin boy was excellent in keeping the cabin spruced, and stocked with necessary items.
One lack of foresight on the location of the cabin was having the gym directly above us with weights been dropped on the floor thorough the day making it sound and feel as if the ceiling was about to cave in! After constant complaining over a three week period to Gym and Reception staff a notice was finally put in the gym which help lesson the noise..., a little.
