Our first cruise, when we got to our cabin there was an ash tray with
cigarette butts in it in the cabin. It stunk the cabin up. I wanted
to call housekeeping and complain, but Bob wouldn't let me. He said
just dump it in the waste basket, but that wouldn't have gotten rid of
the smell. So I went and found his cart just down the corridor and
put the ashtray on it. That steward wasn't very good about filling
the ice bucket either. But we didn't give the lowest grade, just not
a high one.
