This was the absolute most disappointing cruise I have been on. It felt like one big long time share presentation. The food was awful. Everything cost extra. The crew got caught cheating in bingo. Yep.

What's the point? Got there at 8:30 at night. It was the one place I really wanted to see and we didn't get off the boat
