Review summary

The whole staff was amazing. The servers in the main hall, the housekeepers, the entertainment, etc. Do not get me wrong on that.

The issue was it was our honeymoon. I tried setting stuff up with our room and the MULTIPLE people I spoke with said they had it figured out and were going to set things up for me. We get into our room and it was a disaster. Nothing was correct. Nothing was the way I wanted it NOR the way the multiple people I spoke with said it would be set up. 

Then as a "Sorry" they gave us a dinner at one of the expensive restaurants. The food was great but we were there for 1 1/2 hours before even getting our food. After telling them we were in a hurry because we wanted to get to one of their game shows (Which are a blast). 

The drink package is totally worth it but if you drink too fast, the bar tenders begin to think that you are handing drinks off and will stop serving you. Got very annoying.

All in all the trip was great for the most part. So please do not think I am bashing the cruise or anything. I would still recommend it. My wife and I just had one of those "if it could go wrong, it will go wrong" types of weeks

Cabin was small but what was expected. Was always cleaned and set for my wife and I.

Ship tip

The 9th floor is where the best stuff is. Such as the outdoor and indoor pool, outdoor bar, buffet, and a lot of activities.

Was there a set amount of time you had to wait in between drinks?
