So many problems, wrong cabins, malfunctioning shower, loo not working in cabin, terrible service in dining room (and food not too good either in there)oily smoke gave me a sore throat and then I was charged 5€ for a pack of Strepsils! Drinks overpriced nd then a 15% service charge on top, compulsory gratuities charged and the rep spending a full 10 minutes telling us we could tip crew and that we really must tick the excellent box in the questionairre with reagrd to crew! Overcrowding and the rudeness and ignornce of fellow passengers (Italian). Indeed, I suffered a hard elbow in the stomach from one whilst boarding a mini bus back from Bahrain center. I could go on, but guess you have the gist now. Thinking of going on the Jewel of the Emirates cruise? Think again. Prison ship meets summer holiday camp!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
