Everything about the cruise was excellent.  The food. The ship was exceptionally clean. The staff friendly. Great entertainment even though we did not go and see any shows. The pools were immaculate. Deck chairs were clean. What a beautiful ship! The stop-overs were well organized (but $100 pp to zipline in Labadee??).

Negatives: Everything is extra. It feels like all they want to do is charge you.  We did not get any free bottled water in the cabin - purified water would've been great. The refreshment package should be included so a person does not have to walk around with that huge drink holder. 

The galley tour was not good at all. Too many people per group - we did not hear one word that was said. The brunch thereafter was not good at all. 

Big negative is the 18% gratuity that is added to absolutely everything. Then they have an additional line on the bill for a tip? Then they give you two envelopes at the end for extra gratuity and just before you leave they hit you with a huge bill - mostly gratuities for making up the room etc and at $13.50 pp each time...not good. Bad ending to a nice holiday. We were relieved we had breakfast at the WindJammer every day.
