    But isn't the purpose of travel to see something "real"?

    My reason for cruising is to enjoy the ship. The Dream is absolutely beautiful and for us, was the destination. We did get off at Castaway Cay. People travel for different reasons.

    WHY did you not like the food on the cruise?

    3. Unrealistic expectations. Feeding 4k people a day 3 meals a day plus snacks isn't going to be a Michelan star experience, also with that many people it is frankly a PITA if people get an entitled attitude and expect a just-for-them meal. I don't mean real allergies, that's different...

    How about getting a cabana on the adult beach for just her and her boyfriend? The rest of the family can stay on the family beach. There will still be plenty of time for her to spend with the rest of the family. She can enjoy the peace and quiet and the romantic setting.

    Bad Behavior

    I feel so sorry for the staff. Since they depend on ratings and tips I think most are afraid of saying "no" to anyone about anything. Both of my parents were disabled and I do not mind telling kids (or adults) who are being a safety hazard to get out of the way and watch were they are going...

    I don't know about traveling back and forth to check, but I do know someone kept trying to sneak her child into SB behind the cabanas on Oct 5th, and was told she couldn't have children there on 3 separate occasions that I personally heard from cabana 19. I'm not telling anyone how to...
