Review summary

EMBARKATION SUCKED, WIFES MEDALLION RARELY WORKED, APP WAS INCONSISTENT AND FOOD/BAR ORDERS NEVER CAME OR WERE CANCELLED....OF COURSE I WAS CHARGED EVEN THOUGH I HAD PREMIER PACKAGE. RESERVATIONS WERE POINTLESS, LINES FOR MDR WERE ENDLESS (WITH RESERVATIONS) AND WIFE BEING COMPLETELY IGNORED ON HER B-DAY CRUISE. HONESTLY, SO MUCH MORE BUT I THINK I MADE MY POINT.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

LONG LINES AND A CRAZY AMOUNT OF PEOPLE ARRIVING WELL AHEAD OF THE CHECK-IN TIME. WHATS THE POINT OF EARLY CHECK-IN WHEN YOU DONT ENFORCE ANYTHING?

MUCH SMALLER THAN RC BALCONY ROOMS. SHIP WAS BUILT IN 2007 AND REFURBED IN 2017. OVERALL NOT BAD FOR THE AGE

Can't wait to do it again!

Not a bad cruise, but had potential to be much more
