Review summary

This was a very expensive once in a lifetime cruise. To have half the most important sights eliminated was very disappointing. The issues with the ship's condition were not a big deal to me.

frequent leaks in both public and private areas, rest rooms and sinks out of order. Ship was very clean. I lost heat in my cabin but they did fix it.

Disembarkation

I was out in the sun for close to 2 hours trying to get an uber/taxi. I was robbed of my cash while being pushed and shoved by hundreds of people trying to get a taxi. Taxi's were not taking credit cards resulting in more chaos.
