Nice evening cruise.
Mayumi_P, October 2026
Our attendant Grog( probably my spelling is not correct) was kind and friendly. We appreciate his efforts, and actually impressed with his work ethic. Because he had a few demanding passengers on board, unable to serve his full capacity towards us, we understood the situation and were ok. He was keep apologizing to us, serving time was a bit late. We don't blame him at all. We were sympathetic to him. I hope that readers understand that we, as customers, need have some manners. There are a lot of people on board, being mindful about our surroundings, not disturbing the cheerful atmosphere.
He kept his good composure, and was doing his best. We cheered him up before getting off the ship. Hoping that we gave him some comfort. We liked him as our attendant, and appreciate his work.
Regarding the cruise, we had course meal, music and dance were good, and we saw beautiful evening light up scenery. It was a great evening.
