Review summary

Just very unhappy with the whole cruise, I was there for my birthday and was never acknowledged, only discounts in their stores. We have sailed a lot, but this was the worst cruise we have been on. They have a long way to go to compare to other ships.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

No one to greet us, no information very unfriendly.

Why is the cruise line entitled to wish you a happy birthday..if they do anything for people's birthdays. It's a great jester on the cruise line. However no where does it say they are required to other than your spoiled rotten mind

I have to call you out here. It was my husband’s birthday on the same cruise and we were invited to a party for all the people with special events onboard, He received a cute card on his birthday, and they sang to him at dinner. (Our waiter even played guitar but I think that was special cause he plays).
