Don't waste your hard-earned money, it's not worth it. It was really expensive, much more so than advertised. These guys charged $3.75 for water....Water!!! I was told the food was so great, but it all fell short, other than fine dining, which was passable. 99/100 employees were fantastic, hard working people( who told us they made $50 a week). Everything I wanted to do was preceded by long lines, only to be extremely let down. Our cruise advisor lied to us, telling us we didn't book on spring break. Guess what? We did our honeymoon on spring break. It's advertised as 8 hours per port, but you're lucky to get 3. My wife and I just felt lied to and ripped off, to the point we'll never cruise again.

I compared our cruise to Walmart on black Friday, with triple prices, that you can't escape. With the hefty upfront price, I assumed we were paid in full, and certain needs would be met, like water. There was no shortage of tourist traps while aboard. Heavily overpriced drinks were rapidly offered at every turn. The Photoshop charges $20 per print. I can get them for 49 cents at Walgreen's. That's not profiteering, it's blatant price gouging. The casino magically charged us extra, although we only gambled cash. The machine I did play on felt very rigged. The pointer would suddenly jump, when you got close to winning, and I kept my cash in pocket.

The rooms were actually quite clean, as they push their foreign staff much harder than their American counterparts. There were 2 tiny swimming pools, which were massively overcrowded. The hot tubs were down more than they were full. I got into one, only to get right out from the funky smell. They are very strict about bringing water or alcohol on the boat, which puzzled me at first, but I saw the prices and had a light bulb moment. I'm not a rich person. We saved for this and were very excited to go. After going through customs at debarkation, I felt free. It must be what prisoners feel like when they serve their time and are freed. Read more
