Review summary

I spent several days back and forth with Guest Services regarding my on-board credit from . I was finally patched through to and we resolved my on-board credit issue. I was assured while on that call that my specialty dining and pre-paid gratuities. were on my account. When I made my reservations with Chops Grill the next day I was told there were no specialty dining credits on my account. I had to go to Guest Services again. The girl wasn't very helpful. She finally told me to take the invoice that I had brought from to the restaurant to prove my promotion. I thought that was odd. The night we were dining, I called GS again just to verify the information I had been given. Again I was told just to take the invoice with me. The night after we dined at Chops, when we returned to the cabin, I had a note on the door to call 3333 regarding "My Concern". I wasn't sure what this was for. I called and was being questioned about the specialty dining promotion and was told I did not receive that. I kept explaining everything I had been through and that I had gone to the front desk and called multiple times trying to resolve this issue prior to dining in Chops and showed my invoice proving I had this promotion from . The lady said well we need to verify this. She said she would call Chop Grill to discuss it and to get a copy of my invoice. I said they don't have a copy. I hate to admit it, but by this point I was upset. I said, I am tired of dealing with this and I don't want to hear anything else about it. My husband called back and also let them know that I had spent several days back and forth with the front desk and we didn't want to be bothered with it again. She said consider the issue resolved! The next day, I checked my account and I had 2 excursions on my account that I had not booked. I called back and went Off! They removed them. I spent almost every day of the trip dealing with Guest Services for something. It was beyond frustrating!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
I have taken this cruise before and I felt like there were more activities before this most recent cruise. The itinerary was full but it was mainly for things to buy. There wasn't a lot of activities during the day. I made reservations for shows but we did not like Cats or the Headliner Show. Understandably, the Oasis of Dreams kept being canceled due to weather. We just found a lot of wasted time throughout the day and we couldn't get into the smaller venues to watch comedy shows or other shows at night because they were full. I was very disappointed with the lack of activities. We aren't interested in the Flow Rider or Rock Climbing.

Entertainment

Come Fly with Me was great. We were unable to see The Oasis of Dreams because it was cancelled several times. The family comedy show was decent. We did not like Cats or the Headliner Show. The bands were OK otherthan the Jazz band which was great!

Disembarkation

We stood in line for 1.5 hours just to get into the theater. The line was wrapped from Deck 5 out onto the walking track, wrapping around to the other side of the ship and back around to get into the theater. It took 2 hours to get off the ship. It was hot and miserable standing on the walking track carrying several pieces of luggage. It made for a miserable end to the cruise!
