Review summary

We did this cruise as it was over Halloween and the staff did a excellent job decorating the ship myself done the thriller mob dance and due to the overcrowded promenade I got to do it on the main stage on the last night after the cruise director admitted a mistake in handling the first showing and Steph who taught the dance was amazing and the dance mob formed a great friendship rehearsing every day to make sure of great show
