One of them was a critic who called out Lara for being a bad chief stew and had sympathy for Marina for having to work for her.
“Lara is a good CS. She was focused on keeping the high standards we are used to, even when everything was against us Katina we love you, but you were like a toxic arranged marriage haha,” Marina wrote about the chief stew and yacht.

“That said, indeed better communication and more empathy would have been nice,” the stew expressed.
Marina also hinted at her upcoming shot at being on service as one fan shared happiness that Marina was out of the “dungeon,” referring to the cabins.
“Maybe yes… but maybe not Tune in to find out,” she stated.
