Review summary

Overall it would have been fine if the below didn't happen. - Got drinks while in port (Galveston). The drinks were 7.50 a piece times 2 people so $15.00 a round. I was not notified that there was an 18% gratuity REQUIRED and of course I never received a receipt. Nota big deal you might say? Nah, they doubled the drinks to $30.00 a piece plus put on a 28% gratuity on them. A total rip off to make more tips. So it was 38.40 per ROUND. - I ordered water, soda, and club sodas for the room at the end of the night and they charged me $47 for the drinks even though I have the drinks package. Seriously, what's the deal? - They charged me extra for drinks at several restaurants even though I have the package and I always asked for the best liquor that's included in my package. - The room was so hot I sweated through the night. Finally got it repaired after 5 nights but it was annoying. 5 total visits by repair men. 4 of those they didn't even go in the room, just worked on the access panel outside the room.
