Am I expecting to much?

Am I expecting to much?
We have passed two landmarks for sailors on this trip, crossing the international dateline and crossing the equator.
Both are quite big deals to most people, and are definitely big deals to me, never having done either before.
But neither was celebrated on this ship, all we got was a quick mention in the captains noon report.
Considering, the amount of money most people have spent on this trip, and this is probably my most expensive and definitely my longest Royal Caribbean trip, the ship's management could have done something to make it special.
As it is all anyone seems interested in is getting the ship ready for the American immigration inspection when we get to Hawaii.
The level of officer visibility is nil.
And to be honest most of us get the feeling that we are just a necessary inconvenience on the repositioning.
This personally is made even more disappointing by the fact that my previous recent cruises on the wonderful Splendour ots totaling approximately five weeks, were among the best I've ever had.

Maybe I'm expecting to much, maybe the staff on the Splendor set the bar too high?
You tell me.
