Review summary

Not bad. Relaxing. Disappointed in HUB app and Thankful I decided not to get WIFI package as they didn’t work about half the time. Aft elevators didn’t work at all making it difficult for those unable to do steps. Drinks over priced.

It's a cruise out of the country...things aren't going to be cheap...most of the drinks we bought weren't much higher than what I pay at a Mexican restaurant or Texas Roadhouse...we took our own soda on board... I agree with the bathrooms...and we will be trying the hub on our next cruise in August...my husband will ask what I want for dinner and I always reply Guys..lol..
