A Cruise Holiday
As far as holidays are concerned, I usually choose something cheep, so you can imagine my surprise when my husband booked a cruise. Compared to most cruise ships, ours was not particularly large or luxurious, and we were disappointed that there were no staff to help us with our luggage. The situation got even worse, however, when we finally found our accommodation. It was small, badly furnished, and dirty. What we thought of first was a prison cell, not a luxury cabin. Like many people, I don’t find it easy to complain, but on this occasion I had to say something because the accommodation simply wasn’t satisfactory. Reluctantly, the staff agreed to move us to another, slightly more comfortable cabin, which proves that complaining can work. But some of the passengers were heartbroken; they had been looking forward to the holiday of a lifetime, this cruise was a nightmare rather than a really enjoyable experience.
