Review summary

Overall it was a very good vacation, be prepared to be hounded for tips constantly by the staff and to tip on every drink even though you've paid gratuities in advance.

We have never been asked for tips as well. But we do generally tip beyond the auto 18%. They work very hard

MTcruisers, I agree with you. A lot of the reviews I see that are negative on almost everything, have no cruises listed, therefore making me think it's a fake review. I also .ok, to see if any pictures are posted.

I was never asked for a tip, I actually ended up giving my favorites extra for treating me so well. The service crew change from year to year so things may be different now.

We had amazing service by everyone on our cruise. They all went above and beyond. There were so many activities that we didn't spend as much time relaxing as we normally do.
