Review summary

everything is about making more money on the ship. it is getting to a point where you feel harrassed because they physically stop you to pose for a photo they will then try to sell to you later on the ship. this was an absolut downer and I did not purchase anything anymore after that. if you are on the ship book your tours in advance directly with the provider you get them approx. 30% cheaper. Don't get me wrong, the staff was excellent the food was good although they could have integrated local carribean food. The only two things I am criticising is that the ship looks like a bad carnival in Rio and the Carnival company is trying so bad to get into your wallet. It is abhorrently blunt and annoying.
