Cabin: Ocean View

We chose this cruise as I liked the destination and thought the departure port would be easy to get too. The ship was just refurbished so everything was new and beds were comfortable, though the decor was not very attractive and much of the seating in the common areas was uncomfortable

Drink prices have gotten outrageous and with the prices they charge the tip should not be additional A drink package was also very expensive at $75/day. At $12 or so per drink that is still 6 drinks a day which is just not healthy. Great you can buy specialty coffee or water with that but you can also bring a water bottle and drink water for free.

This is the first time where I thought that the play "Grease" was not very well done. It was incredibly loud and did not seem as professional as some of the other's I have seen in the past. The ice show was well done and I would recommend seeing that.

The cabin itself was fine however our service was erratic and we had to hide towels in the closet as sometime we had none. I still think a few more plugs would be helpful.
