Where to start...

Let me preface my rant with the fact that my girlfriend and I are extremely easy to please. We can make the best out of any situation, and almost never complain. We are both 23 and not wealthy or pretentious. Yet this cruise was without a doubt the worst vacation we have ever been on.

To start with, the ship departure was delayed from roughly 11 a.m., to the final departure time of 12:03am the next day. That's right, we didn't even leave the port on the day of departure, instead of Friday morning, we left at past midnight. The actual process of loading onto the ship was an absolute mess. First we checked our bags right by the ship, then they actually bussed us away from the ship to an event center in order to check-in, then bussed us back to actually board.
