Other than that, it was crickets pretty much throughout the cabin on both flights.
In hindsight you should probably have posted here
before the flight. Those of us who fly CX regularly could have warned you this is a planned part of the service. On CX you will always be left alone unless you use the call bell, which will be answered within seconds. The idea is that you don't want to be disturbed unnecessarily but plenty of US passengers fall foul of that particular quirk.
