This was our first cruise and it was DISAPPOINTING! Being that it was our 15 year anniversary we thought we would try something new. We were also enticed with the idea of traveling to 4 islands in the same trip. However, after the trip got going we realized we made a huge mistake!
We travel frequently and have been to many Caribbean destinations and usually stay in pretty awesome all-inclusive resorts where we are made to feel like VIP's! We spent as much on this trip as we would have at an all inclusive destination (with unlimited alcohol and soda included) and it fell fall short of the awesomeness we have experienced elsewhere.
I'm guessing that most people who enjoy cruising with this cruise line over and over again have not stayed at all inclusive resorts before and do not realize that for the same price they can actually experience paradise and VIP treatment. Otherwise, I cannot imagine why anyone would give this cruise 4 or 5 stars.
We expected the room to be small and it was. No room to store luggage....we had to get creative to find places to put it. The shower was far smaller than expected and it was difficult to get one of us and our two-year-old in there to get him cleaned up.
