Unfortunately, Dale, unless we confront the demons they never learn. I make
a point of this with my cruise clients. No matter how good the place is, if
they screw up a complaint must be made or no one will benefit from your
pain. Sometimes they will come back and then I write the angry letter, but
it only goes to some shore side guy and the correction in the restaurant
may or may not be made.
I would have done the same with the wines, but would have pointedly noted
to the waiter that the wine list was wrong.
