Review summary

Overall the cruise was good. Issues I encountered.

1. The refrigerator had items in it from the previous guest

2. We did not receive bottled water until the 3rd day

3. Food was good but never was warm. Did not bother me but my wife likes her meals warm.

4. Staff was very pleasant and willing to help.

5. Entertainment was good.

6. The bottomless beverage service is a ripoff. Bottle water should be included. During the cruise non alcoholic comsumers usually drive water to stay hydrated.

6. Two days post cruise my wife and I are both suffering with respiratory problems. The doctor said was have colds. Exposure probably took place on the cruise. Four days post cruise, wife is still ill, but I am starting to feel better.

If I purchased their water because I'm not permitted to bring it aboard, the second day is too long if a wait for it and they need to refund the money.

His review wasn't terrible. 1) Steward missed checking the refrigerator. Believable, not a deal breaker for me. 2) The water issue could have happened. They didn't put water until the second day in our room. Not a deal breaker there either. We just go up to lido and grab all the free water and ice we want. 3) Food. Too each is own. 4) Was a compliment 5) Was a compliment. 6) I think the bottomless beverage package is a rip off too. I figured that out after the first two cruises. Not so much offer the water issue but it's just a hassle to use. 7) I could see the cold issue. But again I wouldn't put blame on the cruise itself. Our two children both at respiratory issues on our last cruise due to the smoke in the casino. We simply avoided walking through and always took another level. So, overall not that bad of a review. I guess it's what you make of the situation your in and how much you allow it to effect you.

appreciate the feedback, but the common cold is hard to fault the cruise line for. Bottomless beverages card should include water, but it's not and they state such .... 3 days to get bottled water??? That does suck. Could water have been purchased at the shops, bars, etc?
