They resurfaced floors in main area on an at sea days limiting use and creating awful smell & surely workers should have worn masks!
Select option was a con
Our room was in the wrong name which meant we had problems sorting dining, WiFi and disembarking. Mattress on bed was very poor. Towels were very old and worn. Fridge door broken
Shuttle availability extremely poor & actively discouraged unless obviously disabled!
Long waits for tables in freedom dining and never got a table for two in the evening
On several occasions my vegetarian meal was very bland. Options were limited and I often had to have two starters
Waiters cleared tables whilst people were still eating and just plonked things down!
Stored white wine was not chilled despite being £49. 60 a bottle!
Music in theatre was overly loud… I heard many people complain about it particularly when the violin angel performed when it was little more than a a high pitched shriek

Excellent staff mainly friendly and helpful apart from one on our appointed table number 54 on Meridian Restaurant deck 3.
We only used our table here twice because
of his attitude. Instead we had to use freedom dining of which we found the staff excellent. The man who cleaned our rooms
was excellent as were most of the waiters etc.
