Nobody cleans up after themselves, food dishes, cups, glasses all over the place in common areas. Also there is a distinct lack of Royal personnel cleaning up. Disappointed with fellow cruisers and this staff so far.

 

Came off Allure and Oasis in the last year and there was nothing like this. This is definitely a turn off.

Would you mind detailing in which places you saw dirty dishes?

270, Seaplex, on Esplanade in front of and in Sorrentos and LaPatisserie. On top of signs in and out of indoor pool areas!

Ok, thanks.

 

But Sorrentos and LaPatisserie are eating areas. Why wouldn't there be dirty dishes there? Same for Two70.

 

I can't stand people who leave dirty dishes in the elevators! :o

What are you doing? Trying to downplay the OP's concern? And if so why? First day, last day, it doesn't matter. The ship should be kept clean.

No, I am trying to figure out the situation to A. understand it and B. advise the OP.

 

What are you doing?

I would go to Guest Services and ask to speak to the Hotel Director. I would ask him if understaffing is a problem, or what, because you are very disheartened by the lack of staff picking up the dirty dishes all over the ship. You may want to be fully "armed" with pictures that are clearly from various parts of the ship

 

Good luck.

Funny juxtaposition: Royal staff at NextCruise desk disinfecting her work space when right across there are tables that must have seen 5 different groups eat lunch and there are plates piled high. Rather funny in a disturbing way.

Trying to understand why you are asking so many questions. The original post was quite clear. The OP is venting.

 

I have seen an excess of dirty dishes on the first day and it is an unpleasant way to begin a cruise. There's really no excuse for it, even if there are explanations as to why it happens.

Wonder if there is a reason for her disinfecting her desk and that is leading to a shortage of staff.

I like to think that she would appreciate a solution, and was not "just venting."

The port is 15 minutes from our house! Also, being from Staten Island we are not quite New Yorkers. We like Anthem but do prefer the Oasis class. We tried to go on the Allure in Sept. but the hurricane got us. This trip our son had already booked so we are going with them on the 11th. Used our FCC to book. We would be happy if Royal brought in some new ships, we did like Liberty.

Saw the same and was pretty shocked. Dirtiest ship we have sailed but I was shocked at the lack of attempt to clean up. Our cabin looked like it hadn't been vacuumed and dusted in a while. And before you say I should have complained, I shouldn't have to and cloroxed it myself.

Thank you for your response. I see we have been on many ships of the same. Allure, Oasis, Summit, Breakaway, Explorer and the Anthem. I have to say that the Anthem is my least favorite Ship and miss the Explorer :(

We loved Explorer and Liberty.. we were back on the Summit this past July and really enjoyed it. It was nice to be Elite with Celebrity because we are Diamond with Royal. Which was your favorite?

I actually loved them all equally, with exception to the Anthem. Never had a bad cruise...the Breakaway was wonderful, but the pool area was sooooo small...but loved the outside venues. The Explorer will always be in my heart....the Summit......service and food amazing....Oasis and Allure....tons of stuff to do and pool areas were incredible!!! How about you?

WE loved Oasis and Allure. Getting to Florida was tough though. Breakaway was my least favorite and we sailed half price in a balcony cabin because of the casino deal. However, I would try again but only in the Haven. Pool area was horrible. We never had a cleanliness problem with the Anthem but who knows what happens from week to week.
