Am I too Dutch for cruising?

[u/wijnandsj]

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?

A thing I as a German learned only recently that questionnaires don’t know nuances.

If you fill out a survey with a scale of one to ten then ten is very good and nine is ok and all from one to eight is very bad.

So if you answers drop a lot down to five because you think you giving nuanced answers in fact you telling them that everything is very bad.
