Review summary

This is a lovely ship, though very large. It's very easy to get lost. There always seems to be someone trying to hardsell you something, e.g. photographers, spa employees. You're even charged for popcorn before a show. We felt as if we were nickel and dimed.

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. Glad you enjoyed your cruise. We were on the same sailing and didn’t encounter any of the nickel and diming you described. We enjoyed our cruise as well.
