Review summary

We truly loved our first cruise and we received royalty treatment.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

This was horrible a long wait and we had to pay $360 for Covid-19 test. I was truly disappointed and I was crying in front of our kids. We had to use our cruise money. We was unable to pay for the drink package and fun package for the kids.

Sorry to hear about the unexpected cost. But, yes pretests are required and are your responsibility. Most insurers will pay for them if you go to Walgreens or CVS. Great that you had a good time despite the initial mixup. MSc really is a great affordable choice, just have to do some research. There is a lot of pre-cruise preparation, you'll be ready next time hopefully have a even better time. We did our first time in the yacht club last week. It was what they say. Good luck, start planning your next.

Thank you for sharing with us. Glad that overall you had a good time. Using the website you can purchase everyting in advance so there are no surprises. We used the website to prepurchase the simulator, movies and bowling. Sorry the kids lost out.
