7th cruise and we are DONE after this experience!

This was our 7th cruise and we are platinum members with RCCL.  We used to love to cruise, but this experience has changed our minds!  I will start with the straw that broke the camels back, the black and white photo shoot!  We had planned to do the black and white private photo shoot before getting on board and had the clothes ready, made our appointment for day 8 so we could review them on day 9.  Because we planned this we did not take very many other photos throughout the cruise with the other photographers (our mistake!).  The photo session is only 20 minutes and they never discuss price with you when you ask, and since we knew it only cost $300 to purchase any and all other photos the other photographers take throughout the cruise, we couldn't imagine that the cost would be much more than that.  WRONG!! We went to the viewing of our photos and they were amazing, we even cried because they were so great, it was our sons senior trip and really wanted to capture this family memory with our children.  Then came the price tag, $2,500!!!!! Yep, 20 minutes and it costs $2,500 for the photos on a thumb drive.  The least expensive package is $500 for only five 8x10 prints that can't be reprinted.  This was our breaking point because we felt it so emotionally cruel to fall in love with family photos and then have them cost more than the cruise!!! EVERYTHING is to get more money from you one the ship, the health seminars are for you to buy expensive products, free lady pamper sessions for you to buy spa treatments and products. There are five dining areas on the ship to buy more expensive food and ice cream to buy, free giveaways to buy art and jewelry and more photos!!! The ship charges almost $90 to parasail but the same great companies only charge $40 (Aruba) and they let you stay up twice as long and are very professional.  The ship was so overcrowded and there was no where to sit unless you got there early, except for the theatre, the entertainment was less than desirable on this ship so there was always a place to sit there!!! Not our favorite ship at all, but it is still ok, the food was quite good in the main dining room though.  The galley tour was the worst we have ever taken, way overcrowded and you could not hear what they were saying.  All in all I think we are just sad that cruising has changed so much and that it is all about what else they can get you to buy on the ship.   The lines are so long to disembark and the overcrowding and overselling have converted us to going back to all inclusive resorts!!!
