    Could just be me!

    October 23, 2014, North Atlantic Ocean ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    This crossing doesn't seem to be as good as the east, west crossing last month.
    Everything seems to be very disorganised and the staff don't all seem to be on the ball.
    I know there is some refurbishment being done, so you've got to expect some disruption, but it seems like a lot of the staff are new and not properly trained.
    And the previous cruise was a lot better.
    We did get off to a bad start with the boarding fiasco at Southampton, so that won't have helped with my mind set.
    But as I said it could just be me being picky.
    On the plus side we are having some lovely evenings up stairs in the lounge with some great company.
    And the bar servers up there are very good.
    One in particular is James, he's from Barbados and has been with the company for 35 years, now that's what you call being loyal to royal.
    He got a long service award at the top tier event the other night, which was nice.
