Review summary

Cruise was fun and busy. I would do another one but We would do an ADULT only cruise. Drinks were expensive, The SHOPS on the cruise were minimal. Need more shops with tshirts and nice gifts.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food and Drinks were good....but the drinks were expensive then you added 15% Gratuity to each drink.... too much!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

ALL THE MUSIC was WAY too LOUD!! I like excitement but it didn't NOT have to be that loud. You couldn't even think. People were spilling drinks in pool and there was no way I was going to get in it.

Price ranges fro $7-10 a drink. Can't remember beer, as I'm am expensive date lol. It takes about 10 drinks a day to be worth it.

We are taking our first cruise in September. We thought about getting the drink package but changed our mind. However I just read this and you said they are expensive. What was the price range?

I would love to find an adult only cruise but it appears that they don't exist.

I go on the Norwegian breakaway I get the drink package it's the best choice it comes with you cruise with free at sea promotion.You pay a fee of $99 each can't beat that.I go in September or October less children just some babies.School is back in session so it's the best time.Enjoy your next cruise ð

Shops are usually smaller on smaller ships (most ships for that matter) as they want you to shop in port at the cruise line approved shops.

Adults only cruises should be out there much more often (IMO).

You might try the Holland line. We are 60 and 66. Love the Holland line. Also try sailing during school time and more than 7 day cruises.
