Cabin / Stateroom

Bed was HARD and the AC was barely putting out. We could not have a fan. It was so hot.

Ship tip

Spring for the balcony so you can sleep with the door open - otherwise you will be extremly hot.

No excursion - not much variety. I don't snorkel. Locals are too pushy. Would not go back.

I can see the problem. Cabin 1053 is one of the worst on that ship. Right by the mid elevators / stairs and under the pool deck. I see a review from someone else who was on the same cruise and they loved it. Having a bad room is one of the best ways to have a negative experience. The key to cruising is research research research. So much information available to help you so I hope if you cruise again you will be better informed and have a more enjoyable experience. I’m sorry you had a bad time.

Looks like Cruising may not be for you, or at least more research prior to cruising. A newer ship may be better for you.

Just because they a bad experience with an inside stateroom does NOT mean cruising ISN'T for them. 😡 GOD I am getting so sick of see people say that. Its stupid!😡 People are allowed express dissatisfaction. What is wrong with you people? Oh I guess ALLL of your cruise Cream Royal Pudding Perfect 😜🤪!!

Doesn't seem that cruising is for you. We've been on 10 cruises and .oved them all. What do you mean by couldn't have a fan.? If you asked for one and they didn't have any because the few they have were taken, that's not their fault.
