We had a great time on this cruise! Rosie from Best Price Travel made booking this cruise for a large group a breeze. From booking to hotel pick up to port to drop off at the airport, all accommodations were taken care of.
One feedback for the cabin, specifically, is that the temperature was too warm for me. Other than that, would high recommend this cruise.
