Review summary

Didn't care for the cruise -- the boat was very rocky! even seasoned cruisers were complaining; our cabin needed updating -- it was nice, but kindof old and tired looking; the lines were too long for food or drinks -- I understand that there is a fine line between crew count and passenger count -- but during "peak" times, there should be some adjustments made in scheduling crew so the lines aren't so long!  Loved Half Moon Cay - but the drink package isn't valid there -- so spent an extra $90 on drinks, 3 a piece for me and my daughter.

Service and Staff

Great crew members; just not enough; had to wait in line, on average, 15 minutes for just a coffee!

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
I think the ship's ballasts were not working or something...this boat rocked enough that it creaked and "moaned" during out last full day at sea

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
needed updating - look old and tired

do your homework -- not sure the drink package is worth the money;

$90 for 6 drinks! that's ridiculous.....are they more expensive at half Moon Cay than they are in the ship? this port really should honor the cheers program
