Review summary

CELEBRATED OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY. THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS FRIENDS BACK HOME PAID AND ORDERED ANNIVERSARY DECORATIONS FOR ROOM. WAS TO BE A SURPRIZE. RC FAILED TO DECORATE AND THEY HAD TO CONTACT ME AND I HAD TO GO TO GUEST SERVICES TO ASK THEM TO REFUND THEIR MONEY. DISAPPOINTED ME. OTHERWISE, THE BEST CRUISE I'VE EVER BEEN ON.
