Review summary

Item # 1.-My cabin was not centrally located!-My cabin was clear at the end of the "Aft" section!--The Windjammer dining room was clear at the end of the front of the ship!(On the 11th deck).

Item #2-the visit to Grand Cayman was cancelled because of high waves.

Item #3:I expected a church service on Sunday-(We've had church services on previous cruises)-not this time-I was very disappointed!

Item # 4:I've had complementary BP checks on previous cruises-not this time-(there are no "Freebies"on this cruise.-Except for the delicious meals that were available.

Item #5:I didn't care much for the visit to the Island of Labadee-there wasn't a proper landing dock- we were required to wade through knee high water to get to shore.(There was one young lad that was expecting a large tip for escorting me to the shore!)

Item #6:On my next cruise,I believe I would prefer to visit the Virgin Islands  instead.-I heard that there is a beautiful place called "St.Thomas".

I made a mistake traveling alone-I should've had a friend with me.

The cabin is your fault. Actually most of your complaints are mate.

Dude, you are truly whacked. Go to Carnival, they need guess like you.

Think you need a different vaca , or learn how to cruise, never seen bp checks on cruise, this will be my 10th cruise never seen that

Oh and the windjammer is aft!

We were on this same cruise and the only time we had to wade in water was on the Haitian Cultural Tour. When you book it, it clearly tells you that you will wade in water to reach paradise cove. Also, it's printed on your ticket! Why book this excursion if you didn't want to wade in water? While the Grand Cayman stop sucked, it couldn't be helped.

Oh my God are you sure you went to Labadee? Huge pier.... No one ever waded to shore.

The only thing I think is a legit complaint is not going to Grand Cayman. I'd be livid if that was skipped.

sheez. forward and to the point. I love snickers!!!!!

hello! Labadee has a huge pier, find it hard to believe anyone waded to shore, are you sure you weren't on Gilligan's Island? As far as your cabin goes, you must have booked a "guarantee" status and let them pick it. And what is wrong with the Windjammer being forward on deck 11? it is on all their ships. what is complimentary BP checks....blood pressure? And yes, St Thomas is nice island, but I doubt you'd like it
