Review summary
Favorite part of the cruise - Food was excellent! Was very disappointed in the Muster Drill. Whoever was announcing the muster drill did not take it serious. There were no signs directing us where to go, and all passengers were confused in my muster station at to when the drill was finished. I believe Safety is not a priority on the ship. In the muster drill, we were in one of the nightclubs for teens there was a wooden box in the middle of the dance floor, when we thought "we were done" a woman crossed the dance floor and apparently did not see the box on the floor she tripped and fell onto her knee and her wrist. At that point there was not one not one crew member that sprang into action. Very surprised. At times as well there was a stink like sewer gas that spread through the cabins as well as on the second level of the LIDO deck. Not sure what that was. With unforeseen circumstances we were detained to even board the ship because of a "bomb" threat as well as skipping one of the islands because of a medical emergency turning the ship around and sailing to Miami. Passengers were not at all compensated. Surprised ship was not cleaner. Signage was also not very clear.

Big Big Blake - Yes I believe our port charges were refunded. Did not expect a "free cruise" But maybe a drink?
Not sure the bomb threat was truly a bomb threat - seemed like a real time drill to me - the only reason why I say that is because - some passengers were already on ship - they never evacuated them and time frame seems to be a little off. Also - with so many people traveling - how many times has a traveler traveled with an aerosol can (poss. hair spray) in their luggage, lid coming off and spraying inside the bag? I'm sure that has happened countless times.
