Review summary

When going through customs clearance in Miami, passengers felt like herded cattle. It was an awful experience. I was given a free specialty dining option but charged a $60 service charge for ordering lobster. Not fair!

Food delicious but it’s not fair to be charged a $60 service charge when ordering a lobster. This specialty dining was a free option for me.

Onboard Activities

I only used pools and hot tubs. There should be more hot tubs and an adult only section.
