Review summary
The cruise started out as a great deal. The price was less than the Royal Caribbean with the free drink package and 3rd person free. The problem is when you get on board, there are lots of needed extras that are not needed on other cruises. The inability to communicate with your family was unacceptable. The Internet restrictions were also unacceptable. The rooms were so tiny that we struggled to get ready when all 3 of us were there. To get to almost anywhere, you were required to walk through the casino which was not good for my daughter due to her breathing issues. I will not say it was the worst vacation, however, there were a lot of hidden charges that I didn't anticipate which would have made the Royal Caribbean the better value. Lesson learned....you always get what you pay for.

Ship tip
Take a different ship or cruise line. The initial price looks good but in the end it is more than more luxurious lines.
