Been on the Wind twice and loved it both times. I find it an interesting mix of passengers and most Europeans onbaord find it a great value for a ship without all the "bells and whistles" so to speak. (I mean, who really books a cruise where the concern is "does it have a bowling alley?") :rolleyes:
The other advantage is it being more of a mid size ship than a megaship. You will really appreciate that when tendering over to your ports of call and theres not 2,000 people ahead of you standing in line.
Also, I recommend paying the extra $25.00 for the premium restaurant at least one night. There you'll find items like escargot and lobster on the menu. (Best escargot I've ever had mind you).
As for the staff, we made great friends like our bartender, Surresh and his mate Singh. Also Anika from Rumania who found out on our Alaskan cruise her grandmother who had raised her had just died. She was wiping tears and tending to her tables when some jerk passenger reemed her for his coke not being delivered two seconds after he ordered. I found those were the kind of people who complained about everything and wouldn't be happy no matter what in their lives. I suspect some of the horrifyiing reviews you read may have been from some of those "glass half empty" kind of people.
