As this was our first cruise, I read some of the reviews and was slightly horrified by the experiences. I had nightmares leading up to our trip. My OCD kicked and told me this would be the worst experience of my life. LOL We purchased this "package", which consisted of the 90-min time-share schpiel, hotel, food at hotel, rental car, cruise.
Rental car was the smallest of the small. We upgraded to a mid-size and of course, had to pay the difference plus tax. Not unexpected.
We stayed at Park Inn by Radisson, which is in dire need of renovation. The rooms were seemingly clean and quiet. The hotel restaurant food was meh. Our "free breakfast/lunch/dinner" vouchers actually had to pay tax and gratuities. So our breakfast averaged around $7 for 2. We had lunch once, and then decided we'd rather go out to eat.. We had to pay room tax and a "resort fee" which this is *not* a *resort*, but it wasn't outrageous.
