1/ Yes 2/ No

I would not expect it to. Pagers were being returned and put straight back in the charging cabinet,which is my point,the different person was out and about taking guests to there tables.This was from day one.

Very sorry,the protocols to identify crew was not evident on Aurora R407,crew working although obviously unwell in dining rooms One instant, waiter one evening wearing blue mask,when asked why he said that he had the cruise cough. Next morning no mask, dinner time no mask evening no mask never wore it again, his number two quietly coughing for days. Also day one breakfast in Medina everyone being given a pager,guests backed up to the lift and all the way down to excursions desk. Person dishing out pagers did not sanitise her hands throughout. Tables set but people not being moved though. When asked why was told that she had not released the tables yet! total chaos. I refused to take pager and also refused to go back into the scrum,went and stood waiting to be called at the first desk inside, 30 minute wait,although we had not asked for a table for two. Do not blame the guests,the problems are within the crew,they are working and spreading because they have to.

IMO something has got to be done on board,been reported problems since December maybe beyond.These ships need down days for thorough clean

Yes it is a requirement,under there terms and conditions

Uganda room, have used it for pre dinner cocktail parties,up to 40 people.

I do not send any thing back, I just leave it. On Aurora in December I left a lot, particularly the so called roast potato!

daiB I am not harping back to the old days, neither am I commenting on volume, merely on quality and presentation.which in MHO is not up to scratch

Right! However seems to have missed the point.

Not that I am suggesting an extra payment,merely illustrating a point. Premier prices are already being paid by guests on the Adult ships

Sorry I do not wholly agree, I am also only making the point regarding the MDR. The current level of meals including presentation choice and taste,fall a long way short of the so called advertised dining experience in MHO. Linking the poor quality of food choice, presentation and taste to cruise prices is not logical. 16 night cruise at say an extra £10.00 extra per night,at worst = £160.not exactly a deal breaker on the adult only ship Aurora in MHO.

Note that I referred to presentation.

The food presentation in the MDR, on Aurora, is dia, in MHO, the home delivered farm food advertised enterprises, look more appetising. Aurora canteen quality at best.This is my opinion from our December 2023 cruise

Totally agree with your MDR assessment,our thoughts exactly,also with the maintenance issues, particularly with the lifts and the external presentation.Although we have 3 cruises booked,the next on Aurora end of April,but we may cancel the other 2 should we become unwell again. Still not fully recovered from December cruise.Enjoyed your adventure

Totally agree with you, it is what we experienced on our December cruise. We were told that it was an experimental set of menu's, and that they had already received a lot of complaints.
