Review summary
Do it! Book your trip, have fun! The internet is slow, but gets your needs met. The deluxe drink package was amazing and worth it especially for a group trip/5 days long. Had the trip been longer or it was just for a couple, I might opt out as detox would start to be necessary and we tend to drink less as only a couple.Embarkation

Ship tip
Bring more outfits and more conditioner (if you have long hair) than you think you will need. The days are hot, but the evenings can be chilly.
