Review summary

Very disappointed. Instead of visiting 8 ports that we originally signed up for to only 4 ports . Too many days at sea. Not fun when thermal suite, pool, hot tubs were closed.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Because of the delayed embarkation, there were people everywhere, sitting in chairs, on the floor, with endless lines that didn't move for hours.

Castries, St. Lucia

1 out of 5

Green to sea excursion was horrible. Long bus ride with only one short stop and the beach they expected you to spent 1 and half hours was dirty, with no running water and broken, filthy bathrooms.

Read your cruise contract. Ports are not guarenteed. As for the thermal suite should have got at least a partial refund

I hope they get everything back open for you. I'm sure they are working hard to get it done. :)

They should have cancelled your sailing instead of ruining your vacation!! I really hope Breakaway gets her self together in dry dock because I won't be on her for a year.
