Review summary

There was mold/mildew in the grout in the world's smallest shower. No washcloths were provided until requested. The staff is all about getting more cash for tips over and above what the Ship charges already. Three of the 7 days of this cruise are at sea and most of the 4th also. Don't wast your money on a balcony stateroom.

Ship tip

The food on this ship is less than there ships in the Caribbean. Gratuities of $14.50/person/day are exhorbitant.

Sorry the cruise didn't match your expectations. Most of your complaints (minus the mold and washcloths) fall on you for not doing your research before booking.

We loved our balcony. We saw a 180 if the gorgeous views. Our first cruise was made great by the RC crew and staff.

The more sea days you have, the more beneficial the balcony is.
