Very disappointed in the experience. Train ride was ruined by the relentless attempt at comedy and "jokes" by train staff. They seem to have the perception they are professional comedians and insist on constant jokes/banter that were not the least humorous or entertaining. If you do not laugh as if you are hearing a lively show, they become passive aggressive. My companions and I found this distracting from the whole experience. I chose to train because I wanted to relax and avoid driving. Instead, I had to listen to loud speakers blasting annoying voices of poorly executed entertainment. I found the train staff to be condescending in grilling guests as if they are children what time to arrive, what to do/not do etc.
On a side note, I did not appreciate being essentially told off by a staff member playing a "marshall" for using my cell phone briefly on the train. I found this insulting and ridiculous.
I the train staff and "actors" need re-introduced to their roles and their behavior will deter myself or my family/friends from ever returning or recommending this experience to others ever.
