Review summary
This cruse was awful, boring and the ports were expensive and no good beach experience. The food was not even edible and the dining room food was the same as the cafeteria, same menu they only difference was they served you. The add one were ridiculous, $320 for internet that hardly worked, $36 a day fro crew appreciation, $329 for just the pop drink package, the pizza place was basically frozen pizza warmed up and the music at the pool was Euro tech/pop so sitting out was annoying. The spa prices were $420 for a message, a can of Pringles in the ship store were $8, excursion were upwards of $200 and the last island being taken off the itinerary was not compensated for. Plan on spending at least another $1000 a$2000 and being hungry on ship days because the food is not satisfying and we were just trying to find something that to fill us up. I would never do this cruise again and could hardly wait to get off.Embarkation
