In general fine, but some expensive internet and lack of premium drinks left a sour taste in the mouth....

Review summary

I eventually purchased an internet package, and felt ripped off for internet that was inordinately expensive, and inordinately unfit for purpose, it was so slow the ilounge was constantly full off people moaning about the connection speeds, if any connections were available at all. Also, I upgraded to a 'premium drinks package' as the beer and spirits I preferred were in that package - after two days they were difficult to get hold off, after about 8 days they were almost impossible to get hold of, and in fact other alternative premium beers and spirits were also unavailable - therefore I was ripped off again. When upgrading the packages (x2) I was also charged the 18% gratuity, even though no extra service was involved - I tried to have this removed towards the end of the voyage, only to be told this was not possible, even though I thought the gratuities were optional, which obviously they are not. I tried to reduce the room/person/night gratuity to a level to cover the above gratuity on the drinks package upgrade, and was told I could only take off a whole two weeks gratuity for one or both people, not just part of it, I didn't want to do this, so their inflexibility left me feeling ripped off again.
