Mines not that bad...but there were problems.
We went on a cruise...got placed in a handicap accessible cabin with roll-in shower that flooded in showers in excess of 2 minutes. Our stateroom was flooded twice. We learned how to shower VERY quickly.
Dining room. They placed us at a table for 10. Okay--not a big deal, I'm an extrovert, I can handle this and make the most of it. On Day 3 of a cruise a computer error resulted in us being located to the next table and them having to pull up an extra chair. Okay--that I just couldn't deal with. Go to the Matre D'. Who tells me quite abruptly that he had other problems and I would have to wait. And I start crying (a little high strung at the time!). So after a 10 minute wait..the Matre D has "just the perfect table for us....a table for two with a view of the water".
We are escorted to said table with a view to find it is a table in front of a huge metal structure (well, we wouldn't want a deck to collapse over my stinkin' view

)...so said view is really only a view if I lean over the table to peak out the window that hubby is sitting more in front of than next to and he do the same for me. The Matre D' insisted we have a bottle of champagne. Well we had one the night before and it put us to sleep so we refused. He insisted. We refused again. He INSISTED. Good grief--take no for an answer buddy! We didn't say that, but those were our thoughts. The champagne was brought despite our protest.
Well the Matre D' forgot to mention one thing--we are now located in a section with lots of families and lots of children. Now mind you I don't mind this--but this will become a problem on the next night. The table adjacent to us had a lovely family--husband, wife, 3 kids...the youngest would periodically be sleeping through dinner..VERY cute. What was NOT so cute--was the fact that mom thought a cruise, AT DINNER....was the PERFECT time to instruct her, I would guess 4 or 5 year old...how to do her OWN insulin shots. Now mind you--I can understand the need to administer at the dinner table if it had to be within a certain timeframe or at a specific time...but she needs to teach her daughter at home. I have a MONSTER fear of shots..to this very day...requires special handling to prevent me from passing out. Her mother was loud and vocal and descriptive in her instructions that could have caused me to pass out. So every night--I had to look like a baby as I cowered my head on the table and covered my ears so that I did not have to be privvy to information I did not need and save myself a trip to the infirmary.
Then the next night--a Magic Show was on board and we really wanted to see it and get their early to get good seats. All is going to just about planned until the magical light flash that called the waiters and bus boys away for their little entertainment. They had a cake for our honeymoon that I saw when I stepped away during dinner. And we held out for as long as we could. Once they left for their song and dance routine (which I do usually enjoy) after many people had already gotten their cakes, we decided we had waited long enough and left...almost. Just our toes remained in the dining room as we exited and our waiter "caught" us. He asked where we were going and we told him to the magic show. He MADE us go sit down. Then they did the LONGEST version of the Macarena EVER. We were steamed. They MADE us dance (trying to make it fun--hard to do when you are MIFFED at these people holding you hostage!!!). Then they brought the stupid cake--and with the eyes of many many children GAWKING at us...insisted we kiss. We said no....of course they INSISTED!!!
We made it to the magic show in time.
We complained to our
travel agent and cruise line upon return home. The cruise line sent us $250 to go to a romantic dinner and a discount voucher towards a future cruise. Our travel agent did the same. Both vouchers could be used together. DH said--but unfortunately--that means we'd have to sail with THEM again. So we never used them.
