We had some of the worst 10 days of my life on this ship. I wish someone had told us this was a ship designed for low budget families with no manners and with over 1,000 under 21 year olds for 2800 passengers on the ship.

A little blond girl no more than 4 years old got into the lift with my husband and me - no adults around - and proceeded to go down 9 floors. She got off and went God knows where completely unsupervised by anyone. We asked where she was going and she just put her head down and ran out of the lift when it stopped. She couldn't even reach the buttons to press a floor if she'd wanted to. I have no idea how her parents ever found her.

Beer? $7.50. Diet coke? $2.75. Internet? 75 cents a minute and so slow it was unbelievable. Read more
