This cruise was chosen to celebrate 20 plus years of friendship. The embarkation was smooth, but the disembarkation was not as smooth. The disconnect came when we had to pack up our Halloween costumes before the party was over in order to set our suitcases outside our stateroom. All sailed guests (over the age of 18) were welcomed to provide their email address to keep in touch after leaving the ship. I would recommend spending the extra money for the beverage package. Also, having the internet package available proved necessary. If you have the opportunity, take part in the Bingo game. The game of Bingo was great. We purchased a game board when was basically an Ipad. The game was run automatically and was super fun. The survey was submitted a day or two after our return. Although, people may use the cruise as a break from smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other computers, just make sure you pack your chargers.
