Today I went to the spa so I thought a respite from the drama. We had a nice lunch in the mdr ,met nice people from Australia.we went into the hydro pool and there were pools of water everywhere. Yesterday was the same but today was more. We were in the pool when an assistant walked in and I mentioned that it need mopping as per health hazard. Could she send someone in the mop. She left. No one came. I had hubb lay towels across the soaking wet floor so I could leave. We went into the next room with the heated beds. Someone was folding towels. I again mentioned that the hydro pool area needed to be mopped as someone could fall in there as a health and safety issue and that I would be at guest services later . Some employees came in and went into the hydro pool area. This day three.

I do feel the layout is problematic and I have sailed on the other Pinnacle ships with no issues . The wait times are not my main concern but the quality of food is. It is chaotic and loud for Holland. These are my observations.

Wish I could

Nope

I agree

Yes I tried the Lido last evening and for the first time ever on a cruise I walked out leaving my meal uneaten. The server ordered me to get in the right line which I did with my cane and some beautiful gentleman gave me his place. I tried the roast lamb from the carvery with Yorkshire pudding and gravy. It as so rare blood ran out of it , cold as was the gravy. The pudding was stale and cold. To avoid food poisoning I took one bite and pushed it away. We went to the Dive in for burgers and they were good. I left a comment on the Navigator and they called and apologized. They sent me a cupcake.room service tasted better this morning.

On board and finding long lines for everything. Embarkation took two hours and was a mess. Finding some cuts in food and quality. We ordered room service twice and both times not good. So we went to the Alaska brunch this morning. After finally getting in to the dining room we waited with a nice couple we met on board. We waited for an hour for orders to be taken although bloody Mary’s were right away. Then we sited another hour and really got to know our table mates. We ordered the chowder in the bowl, crab cakes and berry crisp. I found the chowder very good, also had the smoothies also good. When the solitary minuscule crab cake arrived topped with an egg. Our partners had the steak and egg combo and could not cut the steak. The crisps were outstanding topped with ice cream. Very good. Am finding this ship very crowded everywhere. The spa was very nice but the floors were soaking wet so do be careful.its foggy here now.

Thanks so much,I will try tgese
