Review summary

Cruise was great as expected. There were minor issues. The biggest issue I have is gratuities. I want to tip co not get me wrong but give me the choice. Gratuity is for service rendered not doing your job. Does a waiter tip a bartender each time they get a drink? No never that is his job. but yet I go to a bar and get a beer. my gratuity is automatically taken and then I am asked for additional tip on receipt. Unacceptable. If you have four people in your cabin should each guest be charged a gratuity. No in what country do kids tip? So why am I being charged for extra people in room. completely unacceptable.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

way over priced. Gratuities are automatically added on everything and then they ask for more gratuity. Food was good not great. I have been on numerous cruises and quality of food is declining.
