Review summary

The cruise for the most part was very enjoyable. Loved the atmosphere and the shows. I do wish that the bars were staff with more bar tenders to support the number of people needing to be served.

do not get the drink package. There will not be enough time to use your 15 drinks as the service is so slow

Sorry about your experience at the bar. I had the drink package as well but, It's different for everyone on any cruiseline. It worked out in my favor for the time of year I went on a cruise. I'm glad over all you had a good cruise. I definitely appreciate your feedback, and thanks for sharing.
