A small rant, a little off piste( or vice versa). On our last cruise aboard the Dawn we had the General and the dentist, both frequent speakers across many lines. We have heard them before, and the topics were the same if not similar.
At dinner in La Terrazza one evening they sat near each other, and other pax, self proclaimed refugees from Crystal, bent their ears. They happily bent back, and loudly bemoaned the experiences on Silversea. I found it astounding that two hired speakers would bite the hand that fed them in such a loud and uncouth way.
