Review summary

My title has all to do with the "shopping guide" cost of a book that you are brain washed into thinking is a great thing. At $25.00 you get a book to help you shop on the ports you go into. The jewelry is way over priced, the cost of a pair of earrings in a port costs $600.00 when we got home we found the same earrings for $58.00.

Our very first issue was that we were given the wrong room number, the steward had to do a lot of calls to find out where we belonged.  I have to say our steward was great the whole time we were there. The food was good as long as you get there on time if you miss the lunch time there is only pizza slices for you until 6pm.

Not a family cruise unless you plan to dump your kid off in the kid rooms, the lido deck was not family friendly until 10pm which is past our son's bedtime.

Pools were gross and smelling  due too much chemicals. That could be because if you walked the decks after 10pm you would happen upon sex in all pools and hot tubs. GROSS And I may say employees watching as they are" cleaning the bar tops" 

Never again!

Ship tip

Don't buy into the jewelry hype, well documented on line that the costs and quality is a joke.

That makes no sense that the lido deck wasn't kid friendly until after 10 pm. But then they say there was sex in the pools and hot tubs after 10 pm. I agree with carolejonesscjj. There are lots of things for kids to do.

They do offer a $25 book during the fun finds shopping show thats always in the main theater. They have free things in every port you go to but you have to be careful because the small print on the bottom of the paper you fill out, says you are authorizing them to charge you $25 to your sail and sign card.

I get what you are saying wharris but he refers often to things on ship so I think he's talking about his cruise although I think he's exaggerating if not fabricating facts. I remember a book being offered regarding finding the best deals in port but certainly experienced no attempt at brain washing to purchase it.

I think this guy was talking about the Condos his name suggested. Lol. Never seen sex in any pool. I have never heard of a book to buy on shopping. Of course I don't do a lot of shopping in any port.

Nothing for the kids?!? How about all the water slides, the sky course, basketball court, ping pong, arcade, thrill theater, mini golf, foosball, dive in movies, family comedy shows. Sounds like nothing to me

What book were you brainwashed into thinking you needed? I'm a pretty good judge of what I need and don't need for myself.
