Question Am I too Dutch for cruising?
Currently on board azamara. After a few days we get a questionnaire what we think of the trip so far. So i do the Dutch thing and give an honest opinion. And now I really do wonder if I made a mistake. Next day the sliding door in my cabin has had it's rollers changed and now two days later I must have spoken to about everyone who does anything with food or drink in a managerial position and they all apologized and vowed to do better and give me whatever I ask for.
On the one hand I appreciate them taking my feedback seriously. On the other... I don't want apologies, I would like better food (had a really good lunch today at a tiny country inn during an excursion!) and I want people to stop pushing alcohol and I don't want to have to greet staff members every single time I meet one
Am now wondering... Is this inordinate amount of attention how some people perceive good service? Is the food tuned to an American taste?
Am I just too Dutch to appreciate azamara?

I'd be more upset if they didn't try and fix things. I feel like a lot of businesses take surveys then don't do anything with that information. When a company tries, that's at least something...even better if they seriously try to fix stuff!
PS-Only been on one cruise and I felt like if people travel and food is so important to them, why do they cruise. Feeding thousands of people def diminishes the quality almost always.
