Review summary

Our first cruise. We are/were pleased. Will go with you again but not to the carriabien. Ship was great. Weather was close to perfect. But those islands are like a third world country. Low class people with no pride of ownership--a very well hidden quiet secret. I was expecting places like the Hawianan Islands or Europe where we haved traveled more than a dozen times. What a sad surprise. If we ever go over there again we would not even get off the boat. We were overcharged on the shore excursions--our only poor experience. Don't expect you will post this but how we feel. In a way we were deceived but I understand why. Good job on your part.
