Review summary

As far as I'm concerned they should be refunding us a good portion of this cruise due to not stopping at half of the ports. They made this vacation a disaster and we are very dissatisfied with what we've experienced. I'll expect a response.

Be very careful what ship you choose. This ship is too old to be charging what they do. Very dissatisfied
