Review summary

Ok. But wouldn't go on this route again. And elevator issues were a big concern. Regarding embarkation process... disappointment about the Faster to the fun that we purchased. Got on board and dropped luggage in cabin. Went to eat, and wife was going back to cabin, and was told she couldn't get into cabin until 1:30. Went to guest services later, and was told they'd "check into the matter," but never heard another word.

Ship tip

Not go on this particular route. Freeport was very disappointing. In ruins and not worth stopping at. And private island was ok. But not much to see or do.
