Review summary

Very misleading. Was delayed at the port in Miami, on the ship room wasnt ready so they sent us to the buffet. Got to the room a/c wasnt working well and toilets were not flushing, can watch tv in our room unless we pay for movies, balcony was nice and clean. Entertainment was cancelled, our port times changed and one port was cancelled. Could only do 2 out of 5 excursions we paid for. Excursion did not include transportation to the destination. If you are not traveling w/ kids id recommend taking an adults only cruise. Couldn’t use the pool bc of all the kids, can pay to to go the adults only pool. You will port at beaches but have to pay for an umbrella to keep you from burning, spent way to much money to find out, we have to pay for so much more after we get there.

I have never paid for movies or for adult only space...rooms aren't ready when you walk on the cruise ever.

Everything the other reviews said plus never cruise in March. It's spring break somewhere in America. So therefor the ships are going to be full of kids, and parents that think they are on vacation from being parents

You see you have no other cruises listed. If this was your first cruise , I must tell you that everything you just described that you were disappointed in is on any cruise and on any cruise line. If these three bother you I would suggest cruising may not be for you.

It’s always important to read and understand what is included, and more importantly, what is NOT included in the basic cruise fare. Were the excursions booked through the ship or independently? Excursions booked through the ship almost always provide transportation.
