I could go on and on about this one. They should have taken us north, they had to know that with all the activity down south would make a bad experience for everyone. Everything until Miami seemed to be OK, except for the wind going through the carolinas, which I lost my sunglasses in, but that was nothing compared to on the way back up north. Once in Miami they said something about the health inspector was on board and we ran out of food and the bars, even for nonalcoholic drinks were closed until he finished.

I don't know why they ever took us to Freeport, it's known for being dirty and crime driven. The flies were horrible, and the smell, oh boy, we couldn't even go out on our balcony, but they did offer bug spray for sale in the gift shop. Also for the days after that we had to kill flies in our stateroom, just lousy. We should have stayed in Miami and headed back north at that point. And yes, there are no kid activities to speak of for ages 10-12 or so, and the things they would want to do cost a lot of money, like everything else on this ship.

Then when Collin was talking (the cruise director) at the meeting to get you ready to leave he said how everything was just fine and the blue skies and all the great stuff. Well if everything was so great why was there unused barf bags placed all over the ship? So many people were seasick and couldn't sleep because you felt like you were falling out of your bed. Speaking of beds I don't know what they call the couch thing, but my son had to sleep on it for 7 days and as he called it his ROCK! I've never seen anything like that.
