Review summary

Raise the price & make it more inclusive. Get rid of the photographers every few feet, they’re annoying and I felt bad for them. The music at the bars should be at a level that allows you to talk to the person sitting next to you and the bartender.

Some of us have no desire to pay for a bunch of stuff we will never eat, drink, or do just so a cruise will be more all inclusive.

I don’t think making this cruise “All Inclusive” would be a great idea for most travelers. I don’t drink and rarely if ever eat at the non included restaurants. If you drink there is a package for that (“Cheers” for all drinks and “Bottomless Bubbles” for soda) they occasionally offer specials on the non included dining options.

Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. If you want everything included there are other cruise lines that might do that; try Virgin.

That has to be the worst ship tip that I have ever read. That’s an accomplishment.
