Simply cannot believe the cost of everything from $327 Internet Access for the cruise to $399 Ultimate Rome DAY trip EACH! $15 corkage if you have the audacity to open a bottle of your own wine. (Still far cheaper than buying on ship). Then it's sell, sell, sell from art to watches (at half price which are still over double Internet prices in some cases) to T shirts to jewelry and so on! Don't buy anything on board, research your own trips for a quarter of the price! Use the free Internet at the ports and enjoy the ports of call and the entertainment and activities which are very good! The food is of a high standard and the staff are excellent generally. The ship is very clean and tidy but I can't understand why they have plain carpets outside the lifts on the landings always looking grubby. My only other gripe is the "frisking" by the security staff. They will certainly make sure you haven't brought a drop of alcohol or food on board! They even opened my reading glasses case! My partner did have her apple confiscated, so I suppose it was all worthwhile! Ridiculous!
We were sold an Oceanview Picture Window but were given a cabin with a Porthole in a small cabin which they call a stateroom. That's a joke! You could just about squeeze down the sides of the bed! Kept spotlessly clean and tidy though!
