I chose this cruise because a group of friends were already booked on it. On reflection I should have chosen a cruise which did not fall within school holidays as there were a lot of unsupervised 'tweens' having a great time. Can't fault our Junior suite and glad we chose a larger cabin so we could retire away from the crowds especialy when sailing over a few nights. The staff are all very customer focussed and made meal times a pleasure as did the interesting menus and quality of food. I pre-paid gratuities as I am unfamilar with tipping and felt this was easier however I was stung by having an expensive beauty treatment only to find, on settling my account at the end of the cruise, that it incurred a 18% auto gratuity. With $AU to $US roughly 33% this meant that I paid nearly 50% more for the treatment than I would have in Australia. I think that hurt more than Restylane injections! I'd frown if I could!! So, my warning would be, when a beauty treatment is quoted make sure you ask what the cost is with the 'auto-gratutity'. Unlike Australia's Goods & Services tax it's not quoted within the price, it's up to you to add it on.
