Comments By Diane
I was surprised by the pressure to purchase thngs while on the ship. While at dinner they were selling the champange breakfast, while getting a massage at the spa you were talked to for 15 mins about purchasing their skin and detoxifying products. This would deter me from taking another cruise. Also the buffet was setup as a cafeteria style with everyones hands on the tongs even when we had an outbreak of Norwalk virus. I thought the buffet would have been a little more fancy. The excursions were excellent and well worth the money. the towns were exactly what you would find in the Carribean with 10-15 jewelry stores in every stop which may the towns loss their flavour. The scenery was fabously and the weather was excellent. I would do a cruise again but only so I could get from country to country without having to do the planning and to know that the food and water were safe.
