The prices for soda, water, alcoholic beverages was totally overpriced. I did not like the idea of an automatic $27.00 per day for tips, in addition to the "service charge" for drinks, etc.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The Windjammer was the best for food. The My tIme dining was a disaster. Reservations? Why?Jamies food was the worst that I have ever tasted. At one restaurant we were impolitely told that we could not eat there- something about a different class or whatever. Not nice.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Too many people and even with reservations we had to stand. Shows were very repetitive. Television stations were very poor and kept showing the same things, over and over again.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Peter, staff at the Windjammer, Gokhan Toksoz the Windjammer manager was absolutely fantastic and our cabin attendant was the best. Sorry, forgot his name I think it was Roensiel.

Nothing. Sunday in Martinique is wasted. Because it is French-Catholic everything was closed. No taxis to beaches, etc. A total waste of a day. No one spoke any English and didn't care to be helpful. Not a stop that I would recommend.

Glad that at least for the most part you were pleased with the destinations. The ship can't do anything about shops closed on Sundays or taxis not running..

"The prices for soda, water, alcoholic beverages was totally overpriced. I did not like the idea of an automatic $27.00 per day for tips, in addition to the "service charge" for drinks, etc.". So, after your supposed "2 - 3 past cruises" this was a TOTAL surprise to you?
