Review summary

Before boarding, I was told I shouldn't have filled out the baggage tag completely due to security reasons. Took forever to get our bags. We were separated from 2 family members during the emergency evacuation drill. Excursions filled up. I spent as much money on the excursions as the cruise itself. Excursions were too expensive. They cancelled the jet ski excursion due to water conditions with NO notice. There were several other jet skis on the water all afternoon. Bartenders were good. Cabin steward gave us fresh towels as much as 2 times per day. He made up my daughter's sleeper couch every night. Had to wait for transportation to leave for the excursions when there wasn't enough time in port to begin with.
