Review summary

I’m very unhappy with the communication you have with the ship. Me and my family were put in an uncomfortable situation by being placed in a handicap room with not enough beds. The couch bed was so uncomfortable. This really made our trip very uncomfortable. After all the money I spent I shouldn’t been in that situation

Embarkation

We were book in a handicap room and only3 beds with 4 people. It was a circus and I’m still not happy what you guys did.

You booked us in a handicap room with 3 beds with 4 people. I’m very unhappy on the lack of communication you have with the ship. I probably won’t ever book with you again.

The couch beds are meant to sleep 2. They wouldn't or shouldn't have ever put you in a room that wasn't meant for 4. That's their policy.

It’s unfortunate that ruined your vacation don’t give up on cruising it’s still the best money you can spend for a vacation but next time you should pick your own cabin that’s the best way to avoid that do your homework and some research on your next cruise keep on cruising I love the cruise

Perhaps next time purchase 2 separate rooms for the 4 people.

If you booked a guaranteed cabin unfortunately that’s whAt happens. They put you in the left over cabins that didn’t sell
