Good experience, until the sewage started backing up in our bathroom!! I as taking a shower and couldn’t get out of the shower fast enough! Very disgusting and disappointing.

We did an excursion to 7 mile beach. We spent most of our time sitting on the bus waiting 40 minutes for the driver and they kept changing the cost for the transport to the beach.

Went to Mr. Sanchos and had the best time ever and will be going back!!! There was a long line to get ride to Mr. Sanchos so we went to the street and caught a cab and got to our destination much faster.

How awlful about the sewage problem. I hope that problem got fixed for the next passengers. Glad your cruise was otherwise good. Thank you for your review.

What/where did the OBC come from? I'm sailing Nov. 2024 and have OBC and am wondering if I will or won't get it now.
