Review summary

We decided to spend our 10th anniversary on this cruise. I bought this cruise and gave it to my Husband for his birthday. Our 10th cruise, a10 day cruise and our 10th anniversary, 10-10-10! Were we so looking forward to it. The ship was suppose to do something special on the first Tuesday we were on the ship for our 10th anniversary. Nothing happened! Not funny but the same thing happened on our Honeymoon with the same cruise line. SO SAD AND DISAPPOINTED!!! Need I say more??????
