Review summary

The spa wasn’t great. I’ve never had to pay a separate fee to use the spa amenities when I’m also getting a massage. The staff tried to up sell me at every turn.

The food is terrible but that’s to be expected on a cruise.

Pools were overcrowded. Kids screaming everywhere. Not many activities for young adults.

Entertainment

It sounds like you didn’t enjoy any part of the cruise. Maybe you should try a different kind of vacation. Hopefully you will discover a vacation that you enjoy.
