Review summary

First impression was good, but no restaurant should have a cover charge to eat after paying your initial cost of the cruise. I think 4-5 of them did. The freestyle way of eating is really nice, however. Soda pop is not even free on this cruise. That was amazing. Make sure you have travel arrangements at every port because nothing is close to the ports you stop at. You need to have planned in advance a rental car or transportation from the port to where you're going. And everything will cost. Overall cruise was fun, but spent way to much for the value.
