Cabin: Deluxe Oceanview Stateroom with Balcony

I object to the daily gratuities and the beverage packages. I believe that I should get bottled water at a reasonable price. I hated having to buy water. The refrigerator was not working well and our milk and yogurt spoiled. I slept in the bunk bed which was tricky, but I was the lightest person so I had to do it.

The boarding was a nightmare and the extra charges for traveling back and forth from the airport were excessive. The embarkation was a horrible. We kept going in line like cows going to slaughter. I mooed many time. The crew would arbitrarily open a line and we would have to try to figure out which line to stand in. It could have gone much smoother.

I want one charge and include everything. Don't nickel and dime me at every opportunity. I will try another cruise line to see if they do the same thing, but I was disappointed in the many extra charges.
