It would have been nice to know that since we embarked in Norfolk, VA, rather than Baltimore, MD, that our drink package was not covered because of VA law. We felt ripped off.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island) Did not visit port

The tender boats were behind schedule and not worth the short amount of time we would spend there.

I was on the same cruise and was reimbursed $141 for the first day of the Cheers package.

You should have paid for one less day of the drink package.
