Sailed on the halloween cruise and enjoyed the trip overall. Wanted to give you a heads up on a couple of things. First, I became sick after eating twice.One of the waiters said to use caution with the soups and salads! They tend to sit for a while before being served. Staff in the dining area was horrible. The first night they ask if you would like water,deliver a bottle,open it and of course, charge you.They made it appear to be part of your meal. Dining partons were not happy that night! Cabins were fine and found the ship to be very spacious and clean.

The trip to Myan Ruins Tulum ,well worth the price and takes a full day.You travel by boat and then air conditioned bus. They stop at a tourist gift shop on the way. Childs shirt was $12 at the shop and $6 at Tulum.

Overall ,.I would sail again on this ship again but avoid certain food choices :)

You probably missed it, but they asked if you'd like tap water or [brandishing a big bottle of filtered spring water] this very fine specimen of superior water bottled just for you.

 

Bottled water is always charged.

You didn't use the ... um ... restroom there, did you?

 

That shop is the quintessential tourist trap.

They never did the water thing on my cruise. The only time when they openly *sold* you bottled water was when you were getting off the boat at a stop (which I can understand, because it was hot and people do need to stay hydrated). Every time I was in the dining room, the water I was given when I asked was tap water- they didn't even offer me the option of bottled water (not that I would've taken it). The soups on my cruise were good, but the salads were hit and miss I will say... of course, I was on a cruise so needless to say, didn't eat a ton of salad :).

We have never had bottled water pushed on any cruise.  You are offered water or bottled water the first night in the diningroom.  We have yet to pay for one bottle of water.  You obviously weren't listening.  In fact, we have never had anything pushed on us on any cruise.  All choices are yours.
