Review summary

Cruise was as expected. Cabin Steward(s) kept the room clean at all times. Entertainment was good. Cabin was a little crowded for 4 people. Stay away from the Art auctions. Can't imagine the # of people buying art at inflated prices. Photo department was not user friendly. Freestyle dining was unique and flexible Ethnic food(Indian and Chinese) included in the main buffet at all times. Shore excursions ok, Beware of automatic service charge per person per day of $12.95 added to the bill at the end.

Seems that overall your cruise was good.  Yeah, four people in a cabin is cramped but we did it too when traveling with our kids.  Thanks for posting your first review here.  Just about all ocean cruise line news automatically add the service charge on to passenger statements.  Some add it on even pre-cruise if you elect the flexible dining plan.
