Review summary

Enjoyed the cruise but disliked high pressure sales tactics at spa and wine cellar. Pleasantly surprised food and drink package was superb. Wait staff in bars were on point, several times wait staff in restaurants were overwhelmed but doing their best.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Too few areas to gather to get food and wait with carry on bags until staterooms were open after 3pm

Cabin / Stateroom

Only dislike was the knocking of the ship during sleeping hours every night. Bring ear plugs

Ship tip

The transfers to/from the airport took forever. Nice buses but not worth the delays and chaos.

Disembarkation

Bus transfer to LGA was terrible. Hour and 1/2 stuck at the pier with hundreds of passengers and luggage. Not safe and many angry passengers. Potential for mass chaos resulting in injury or death.
