Thanks for taking the time to write a review, Mrs. Moose. I appreciate your honesty. We have always enjoyed the food in Compass Rose. Like Maria, with the wine flowing, long meals can be fun, especially if you sit with interesting people. Sounds like you had some difficult passengers on your cruise. One of the things I like best about cruising is meeting new people. Looking forward to doing just that in November. I am glad you still consider this your dream trip of a lifetime. Hope there is another dream trip in your future.
