Review summary

Nice short cruise felt like royal caribbean was nickel and dime you the whole time.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Good very quick to get on the ship make sure you choose an earlier embarkation time you can arrive late but if you are early you can be kept from bording the ship. You are unable to change you bording time earlier only later in the day.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining was great after you were able to be seated. Made the mistake of doing my time dining. Which started seating at 7pm. We would get in line at 7pm and the hostess would be upset because tables wouldn't be available for people in line. The waiters we had were great. We tried to sit in their area for the whole cruise.

Ship tip

Be very careful about returning beach towels. I was charged 100 dollars for not returning pool / beach towels. I returned all the pool towels I signed out. Also the charges didn't show up until I was off the ship and unable to challenge the charges. I did return one set of towels late one day but was told if returned the charges would be dropped. Charges weren't added until after I disembarked the ship.
