Review summary

Over all our cruise was amazing all the islands were beautiful. Masks are mandated on each port. The last day is when the problem started. At around 4pm there was a blackout for about 1-2 minutes and the lights came back on. At around 5pm there was another blackout for 1-2 minutes, then 15 minutes later another blackout for about 1-2 minutes. Once the lights returned the HVAC system didn’t come back on. It became very hot on the ship even the workers were walking around fanning themselves. After dinner at 8 we decided to go to bed because it was hot throughout the ship. Our room was warmer because of the air still was not working. At around 12am there was another blackout followed by 3 more. At that time I just said my prayers and went to sleep looking forward to disembarkation.

Disembarkation

Disembarkation was smooth sailing. We did see a few people who were rude to guests in front of them for moving slowly but other than that no issues

I wonder what was making the power keep going out? I'm sorry your cruise ended that way. It does sound like you had fun till then so that's good. Thanks for your review!
