Review summary

It felt like everyone was trying to sell you something the whole time. Excursions, spa, bingo, casino, another cruise, credit card.... ect .... bingo is $20-40 per game, casino, drinking, spa ect. Ship prices are very expensive except for bottled liquor to take home.

antoine's was great and expensive. For dinner looked around for busy, reasonably priced place and found saints and sinners - my husband loved the crawfish platter.

Odd, we never once felt that way. We fully understood what was going on, it is a business, they exist to attempt to make money. We all knew this going in.

The cruise industry is all about marketing and selling. When we cruise, we get bombarded constantly with sale opportunities that you either choose to do or ignore. I ignore 98% of it.
