We didn't get to go to Maui (they say it was due to the seas, but, once again, employees made comments there was never an intention to go due to propulsion problems.) The ports we did get to go to we arrived late at. Gee, thanks for the $200 credit......um, I believe I paid $1,500 a person. In my eyes you owe us a total refund. Read more
