We paid $3200 for aft corner balcony for the 8 nighter - worth $2K imo Could it be a question of US cruises versus European cruises? I have a feeling (as a European who will probably never again cruise from a US port) that the US cruises - especially to the Caribbean - are very cheap.

It's 32 degrees C today but good to know it will done properly when it reaches Us. I've been thinking the whole time this thread's been going on that the supply chain is broken in almost every industry worldwide. I kept wondering if they just ran out of the products they need to use? My son works for a nationwide home builder, and they are going crazy with the lumber and home building supply shortages all over the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a building company and supply is slowly returning. I was on the first 2 Voyager cruises and it did need maintenance done. After 2 years lay up in Cyprus it showed. However, as the cruises progressed the work and staff training was getting done 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarylady19 Posted June 14, 2022 Author #54 Share Posted June 14, 2022 1 hour ago, pcur said: Correct. One review I read had a picture of the side of the ship with rust. It was unpleasant looking, but all I could think is "they haven't had a chance to get out there and take care of it". Then, "maybe another supply shortage thing". Quite likely and that really wasn’t my issue. It is not hard to clean or replace stained and worn furnishings. Unless the cruise line is saving $$ by not investing on an old ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
