Review summary

Good cruise line, very friendly and helpful staff however somewhat pricey for what you get compared to other cruise lines like Royal Caribbean. We had a mini suite and it included no additional amenities over a regular state room aside from being slight bigger with a balcony. We also had the "Ultimate Beverage Package" which made no sense because so many beverages wasn't included in it including basics like bottled water? SMH. Your package also didn't include beverages that were in your mini bar, however you could go down to a bar and get the same exact drinks for free as part of your package. Royal Caribbean for the same price point gave us much more value for the money and we didn't feel like we are always being nickeled and dimed with various extra charges.

Anywhere you go you are going to pay for the mini bar its NOT FREE If you did your homework like we did or paid attention to others you would know that the water is separate either pay or bring a britta water bottle And we did RCL last year for 5 days and it, ran us $1200 more for our upcoming 14-day with 3 of us going this time vs 2 last year and we have an aft balcony this time

We did the mini suite upgrade and paid for the thermal spa both were a waste of money. We rebooked next year a regular balcony room real close to the elevator because those hallways are long and narrow, lol.
