Just before our cruise, the Crown had had two weeks of norovirus problems. They returned two days early and cleaned the entire ship. We were the next group to go out and were praying that everybody would be healthy this time and that it would not be necessary to come back early. There was no problem at all! Just a wonderful cruise.

Loved the Captain--he seemed to really care about his passengers. Heard he was quite funny but never met him. Just was quite impressed by his announcements and the way he kept everyone informed and clear about what was going on and what we should be doing. The food was good.

My only complaint has to do with the International Cafe. Everyone on the cruise was wonderful except for three people. Strangely, they were all from the same area--one from the Cafe part and the other two around the corner where the specialty coffee is served. I asked the food person (after getting a sandwich from them) whether they had any mustard. I received a very short "No!" I made the mistake of saying, "You don't have any condiments?" which was greeted by another abrupt and not very friendly "NO". So, I left there and walked around to the drink area and asked for a glass of iced tea. I was told that they do but I would have to pay for it and I was told that in a not very pleasant way by the two men behind that counter. Are you kidding me? So, I ended up with a free but very dry sandwich and had to hurry up to the Horizon Court (10 floors up) trying to make it there before it closed so that I could add a little mustard and get a glass of iced tea.

Cabin Review

R607No problems except for final day. There was a horrible shrill whining that apparently had something to do with the bathroom sink pipe. They were not able to fix it before we left and it was necessary to close the door to the bathroom because it was very, very loud. Other than that, everything worked well.
