Review summary

The cruise price does not reflex what you will pay in the end. Add $60.00 for parking, 14$ a day for gratuity(that is for each day, including the day you leave the boat at 7AM ) over price and over taxed drinks and quickly we began to figure that this was not for us. Most of the food is terrible and the pool on the boat is smaller than my condo complex pool. My very first and last cruise

You are full of crap! You don't pay gratuities on last day. There is always more than one pool and you really should of done your homework. Really happy that I wont run into you on s cruise ship though. Stick to your guns. We don't need your kind on a cruise!

You have to think of cruise days like a hotel: its per night, not day. Gratuities are paid per night, not per day, so you would have paid for 4 nights' worth, starting with Monday.

We pay gratuities up front, and at the end of the cruise we tip a few extra to the crew who went above and beyond. Not sure what cruise you went on.

I have parked right at the the terminal and only paid $60 for 5 days. Your travel agent should have told you about the mandatory tips $14/day/person. It is divide between 4 people.

You or Your travel agent should have gotten the parking charges. It is posted on the web site. The gratuities are also posted on the web site. As for the food, I found it was excellent.

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your cruise on the Enchantment. I've never used the parking there. The costs should not have been a surprise
