Review summary

Loved everything about the cruise except the disembarkation. It was total chaos. They were not organized at all. Everyone was crowding each other. People were trying to come from every way to exit one area. It was completely different from our other cruise.

We were able to board sooner than they said and luggage was waiting for us at our door

Buffets were great. My only complaint is the breakfast was average. They definitely need better biscuits.

Did a beach excursion. Didn’t realize we had to find our own transportation. Cab was easy to get and we had a great time. Only thing I didn’t like was all the vendors bothering us all the time to try to sell us their stuff.
