Review summary

Favorite part of the cruise were the activities. The charges on the sail and sign account were hard to follow. I found I ended up spending more than I budgeted. Lines to guest services, kiosk, and food lines were long. Lines to get off the ship to the islands were long-should have staggered times to get off the ship. Did not like the fact that you have to purchase cheers program for all guests over 21 in stateroom especially when you don't drink. Sodas should have been more accessible. Utilize the cups with chips to access drinks rather than have to wait in line at the bar for a soda.
