“Horrible experience. Upon checking in I was bullied into purchasing a taxi ride back to my hotel and lied to about uber not being allowed to pick up passengers after the cruise ended. It was $44 for less than a 2 mile drive. The cab driver did not even show up (allocab) and they still pushed the charge through. I’m having to dispute it. The cruise experience was also terrible. The food was bad and the servers were rude! I wish I had my money back.”
