Trip was nice, but the fees they charge are outrageous. up to to 0.95 cents for internet 4.99 per minute for phone call. automatic 18% gratuity on any drink added to your bill including soda. up to $30 entrance fee for non inclusive restaurants, a daily charge of $14 plus added to your bill per person per day as a service charge. A convenience charge for any meals ordered between 1030pm and 630am on top of the room service charge on top of the taxes on top of the gratuity.

This became such a matter we all joked that they we were luck they didn't charge us a buck to go up and down in the elevator.

Played bingo once.......after paying $76 (the largest package they had, 10 cards) realized there were only three games and with over a hundred folks there they payout was $156 for two of the games and an upgrade for the third game. Night before the end of the cruise they sold tickets for a free cruise for two.......when the drawing happened so many folks were in the room that arguments erupted over trying to get a seat so I just left.
