Review summary

Checking in and out was over an hour of standing.  Unacceptable. Prices for drinks were outrageous.  $14.00 martini, $8.50 for Jim Beam and coke.  They would not sell you liquor to use in your room.  They did open connecting balconies.  Even though the rules say no, they did let us carry on bottles water and canned soda.  Personally, I did not like the promenade (city street area).  It was like being a hotel,not a ship.  It was too crowded and way too hot (not air movement).  There was no outside area to take your buffet lunch to eat.  Too much money was spend on the climbing wall and the surf area, for the number of people that used them.  I would not book this ship again.  Eentertainment was the worst I have seen on a ship.

Loved having 3 balconies connected. Cabin had loads of storage, and seemed bigger than most

I think he means the ship spent too much money on them for not being used much? I haven't been on a ship with a Flow Rider yet but the rock wall was always busy (or we have bad timing lol).

Buy the liquor pkg for 60 bucks a day, all you can drink. And I thought rock climbing and surfing was free, you just paid for lessons if you chose too??

Get some price info before you sail!

This was when the ship ported from Galveston. Maybe there was some difference in the rules

I was on that ship a few months ago. Ate outside everyday. The air worked fine. We could buy as much booze for our room we wanted.

what level crown and anchor are you? We sailed the Navigator in November and it was less than ten min to board and unboard. Drinks are pricey.. sure.. where else can you have seven days of room and food for the price you paid? RC isn't a non profit organization.
