Review summary

Cruise not bad, but its sad when you pay this much for a cruise and then once you are on it you have to pay for 80% of the available things on board, plus it seems like everything is just a big sales pitch that you are trapped in.

What exactly did you have to pay for on this cruise that you didn't have to pay for on any other line?

They want you to upgrade to spend more money! For me all the drinks/cocktails I wanted were included under classic. My other half likes speciality beers ie London Pride and Grey Goose vodka. You can't get them on the classic. Normal smirnoff vodka etc on classic. Vodka is vodka to me lol. But virtually every time you get a drink they ask if you want to upgrade. Gets a bit annoying after a while .

was the classic beverage package enough, did you get all the different drinks you wanted? what was their reason for you to upgrade? was it because you couldn't get the drinks you wanted? thanks

We have drinks package and tips thrown in. We were on the Eclipse last year. The sales pitch does get a bit much but we ignored it.

We had a drink package. All we paid for was the tips.
