Ship tip

We booked a spa balcony and when we got onboard, the spa was selling thermal spa passes to arriving guests for $246. The guests, who bought onboard, were given salt scrubs with their spa pass purchases. We were told we could not get the scrubs because we booked a spa balcony. We could have booked a regular balcony for much less than the spa balcony and simply purchased the pass to the spa once onboard. Yes we would have needed to go to the spa to book the pass but the price difference in the room should have allowed us to receive all benefits given to any other guest with similar amenities. The only thing we got was one small bottle of each, Bulgari shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. These were never replenished during the week. I was also told that anyone purchasing the spa pass online prior to the cruise was not eligible for the salt scrubs only persons booking onboard or a spa suite.

There was only one person checking key cards during disembarkation and the process was painfully slow.

We went a month ago and it was the best cruise I've been on. Great staff and food!

Oh no! I’ve been on this ship twice but hearing recent reviews I am a bit nervous for this next one.
