I'm with you on that each cruise is different so you cannot let a bad experience taint your opinion of a cruise line.
Our waiters on both the Galaxy and Summit were excellent. On the Galaxy we had Oliver - very handsome, very personable. Our table gave him a wedding present on the last night. We arranged with the Matri'd to have a cake baked for this event and we also arranged for Oliver and his assistant, Thomas, to enjoy a glass of champagne with us when we toasted to his upcoming marriage. Oliver, Thomas and the Matri'd only had a sip mind you.
On the Summit our excursion in Costa Rica was cancelled due to lack of interest. The night before, at dinner, we were discussing this at our table and our waiter told us he was from Costa Rica and he had a friend who owned a tour company. He called his friend before we docked in Costa Rica and arranged for us to meet with his friend. The waiter, Juan was his name, met us on the pier (he got time to be with his family), introduced us to his friend, he left and we decided what tour we were interested in. THE BEST tour I've ever had. The tour guide's name is Danilo. We went through the country side. We stopped at a man's house - he was taking care of a baby monkey whose mother had fallen out of a tree and died. We were able to hold the baby and give it a bottle of milk - very cute. We gave the man some money to help with his efforts. He also had a 3 toed sloth he was looking after - the sloth had a baby. We also went to the Del Monte banana plantation, the Tortuga (I've spelled this wrong) canals. He took time to stop, explain the flora and fauna in the country. He picked flowers for us. Very sweet!
I've went to the gym three times (Tues., Wed. and Thurs.) I may have overdone it on Thursday - I was there for an hour. Yesterday I didn't go but I will be at it again this weekend after I go shopping of course. Must gave those priorities in order!
Have a great day!
