The cruise was fine until we stopped in Gibraltar. My mother was sold "cultured pearls" that were fake. The company we bought them from was one " recommended" by Royal Carribean. The onboard jewellery shop told us 2 others shocked to find their purchases were not what they thought. Be Careful of Jewels and Gems with Essardas Group.

The cruise itself was ok. The food was ok. The staff were very nice. Friendly. The service was excellent. The pool deck was overcrowded, difficult to find an unoccupied deck chair. The hot tubs were full. The night shows were fully booked, if you didn't get a seat early, no show. We never saw one. Bingo was $27.00 . Movies on your cabin tv $12.99.

We did an excursion to Fatima. We all enjoyed it, but it wasn't a guided tour. You were told a little on the bus on the way there, dropped off, and told where pick up was in three hours. We were given maps of the site on the bus on the way back???
