People are happy to take comfort from reading positive experiences and dismiss the negative ones.
We have just disembarked Journey’s first cruise back. 620 guests, crew at 65%. No table service in the bars, 45 min wait for a table in Discoveries because not all tables being used.
The following cruise will have 180 guests and the extra 65 crew members who joined at Kusadasi just before the end of our cruise. They will have a completely different, hopefully much better, experience than we did. And will no doubt report back that everything on the Journey is just like “Azamara of old”.
Despite going in with realistic expectations we came away disappointed.
