I booked this cruise because of a voucher I received in the mail. I did not research the cruise or cruise line until months later. We paid $317 for the timeshare package. $100 to upgrade to the Westin because I could not stay at the Ramada. The upgrade options are not really upgrades if you look at the reviews, but it was pretty clean when we stayed.

Timeshare- The timeshare orientation was suppose to be for 90 minutes. We were there over 4 hours. We ate breakfast and the overall setup was long and boring. The timeshare they were offering wasn't even worth the money. Book directly through the cruise line instead of doing the timeshare.

Cruise- Embarkation was smooth and easy. mandatory valet is $15 a day to leave your vehicle. Cash only. It smelled nice and clean when you walk onto the ship. You cant get in your room until 1:00. We went and had lunch. The hamburgers are awful. We had an early dinner @ 6 pm and our bags didn't make it to the room until 5:45. Carry your own bags if you can. Read more
