Review summary

I selected this cruise to celebrate our 14 yrs. anniversary only because we have not been to these ports before. The night before the ship is leaving; we got a message that the ship will not stay on the same route because of technical issue. We can’t cancel the trip without losing all of our money. We didn’t get an offer to cruise on the same ship with a different date. So, we had to take the trip. The ship was 3 ½ hours late so everything is backing up 3 hours. It was not fun waiting in the hot sun. I truly believed that the only reason that we stayed overnight in Nassau, Bahamas so RC can replace the propeller. Why can’t we do the repair in Port Canaveral and still keep the same original route? One of the schedule entertainments didn’t make it to the ship in Cozumel so it was replaced by another group. We made the best out of it but what else can we do?
