Review summary

Cruise line overall seems to nickel and dime you at every opportunity. Second week activities repeated the first week. Perfect cruise for enrichment lectures -- there were none. Ship, overall, needs to be thoroughly cleaned. So many people with the same cough. Food was generally horrible.
