Review summary

Overall a good vacation for my first cruise but will probably not do another. This vacation was very expensive and was expecting more for the money. Weather was ok but very windy every day at sea and could never get chairs by the pool so had to be upstairs with no wind protection. You had to tie down your stuff ot it was going overboard. Had bad septic smell throughout the ship in some locations. No swimming pool in the adult section. We had kids running around yelling all day long. Had a hard time to stay in the casino due to all the smoke. Nothing to eat but pizza after 9. We are not big  drinkers so we did not get a package. When we did buy drinks we paid over 35$ for two regular drinks that's crazy!

Of course it is windy on a ship. The ship is moving at 25mph. Drive at 25mph and hold your hand outside of the car. I'm sure you saw people using clips on their towels on their pool chairs, to them the wind was no surprise or problem.

what were the drinks you purchased? trying to figure out wether we should get the package

Everyone in Room does not need to purchase and you can save 20 to 30% if you purchase in advance.

Cafe Promenade (Deck 5): is open 24 hours and included. @Normalissa the drink package is $55 per day for every person in your state room 21 and up
