Review summary

We purchased the ultimate arcade package and the card could access everything in the arcade so we assumed it was good to go! We had no idea that the ultimate arcade card was only for certain coloured games! This was never explained to us when we purchase this through our travel agent!It shouldn’t have or it should’ve been clearly explain to us. I also took my kids off of my credit card but the ship errored and continued to allow them to charge things on my credit card through the arcade. When I brought this up to the casino he said he would take care of it and he never did we had to go to guest services several times and take the credit card off and they still continue to charge! We went to the casino again and he said he would handle it and on the second day that the cruise told us there was nothing he could do!

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Speciality dining was fantastic MDR extremely poor service and blah food It was so loud in there we couldn’t understand the waiter at all. I had to call matre dee over ti help and that too was pointless. Savor and Taste was a bit better but not worth what we were paying. Menus were the same boring food. Buffet BLAH
