Review summary

Overall a great trip, some more time on the port calls would have been nice. The luggage transfer to the airport was the worst part. Someone owes us $80. Today we found additional charges on our credit card and we don't know what they are for, they were not on our bill. Please contact use.

Not enough seating in the Garden area as people took excess space or time to eat. Dinners in the speciality locations were perfect

horrible, put airport transfer tags on the luggage, they were ripped off during the move from the cabin to the luggage terminal. Thankfully the people there saw the bags and called us before we left the boat. Paid $80 for this although it should have been free as our Delta membership and military status had free luggage. Had to lug our 4 of 4 bags to the airport, one got thru and we later found at the airport. Very stressed leaving the boat Worst experience of the trip

Sorry to hear you had a rough time with your luggage. Should I make dining reservations for the complimentary dining rooms for my family. I understand we should if we purchase the upgraded food
