I wish we could rate them with 4+1/2 stars ! We choose this cruise because of the sailing dates, ports of call and a promotional offer for alcohol package :-) It was the first cruise for my husband (I've cruised twice before). We both agreed that our cruise was at the least very enjoyable and satisfying. We would have rated it 5 star however, the pools and hot tubs were always over crowded. Also, the other water activities were crowded as well. We tried several times of the day with no exception.
The room service was outstanding! The balcony room was a bit tight but to be expected to some degree. Showers were always hot. But, TV choices, blah!
The fitness area was large and readily available.
Satisfactory for the two of us. However, whenever we were in the room, we found that the same TV programs repeated.
Processing was fast and efficient.
Prices were much better and more negotiable. Plenty of live entertainment for tips. Some good bargains for a good haggler.
