I went on a 3 day cruise recently, it was fun for about the first day then everything was the same, over and over again. The boat needs a makeover and some better food. They say you get free room service, and that is true but your 10 year old could make what they have. A turkey sandwich consists of two soggy pieces of bread with 1 piece of turkey and an old tomato. The list of stuff they have for room service is crappy, there is like 5 things on there, one of which is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich! The only thing I could stand eating for the 3 days was a hamburger, but they open late and they close at 6pm......I'm on vacation, I don't want to eat dinner at 6p every night. There was good food in the seated dinning area but who wants to get dressed up to set with 4 other strangers? Oh and my choice of sandals was unexeptable, they said they were flip flops but my sandals had like 10 straps but what they say goes. So if I couldn't eat a hamburger there really wasn't much I could do. I actually lost weight on my vacation! OH and to top it all off, the mother of all disappointments.....my stuff got stolen while getting back on the ship after visiting Ensenada(YUCK!), we had to walk thru 2 metal detectors and the guard threw my stuff on the screening belt and I was two feet away and POOF! its gone and the staff was like "oh we can't do anything about it" . So I looked for the people in front of me in line and asked if they picked up my stuff by accident but no one had it.....it just vanished into thin air in two seconds and the staff didn't care about it.....needless to say no one turned it into the lost and found. So ladies and gentleman this is was I call "NOT WORTH THE MONEY" oh and p.s. the only thing you get to drink free is water and lemonade....you have to pay $2.00+ for everything else.....well if you want to waste your money.....have a great time! Just wait for when you get back to port the "debarking" takes 4 hours....hahahahahahahahah

Cabin Review

Cabin R

smelly room, small bath room, sucky tv channels, the oceanview room was nice, took forever to get from our room to get food, sodas and beer were expensive.
