We are posting this question in the general area since it is not cruise line specific.
We are in the process of booking some cruises and after looking at various cruise line and cruise ship reviews, we were wondering if all cruise lines were having difficulties staffing their cruise ships post pandemic. A lot of the reviews on various lines indicate slow service in many areas -n dining room, buffet, guest services, cabin stewards, bars, etc. and especially on the ships that are sailing with full capacity passengers. We were recently on a cruise where the service was excellent and all the common areas, dining room and buffet had lots of available tables, however our ship was only 2/3 full.
Are all cruise lines experiencing these staffing issues? If there are some that are currently managing better than others, which cruise lines and cruise ships are doing well? It would certainly persuade us to book on those lines and ships.
Thank you.
