Review summary
I HAVE TRAVELED WITH ROYAL CARIBBEAN FOR THE PAST 7 YRS AND 2013 AND 2014 SERVICE HAD DECAY PRETTY MUCH DUE TO THE NEW SHIPS THAT CAME OUT AND THAT EXPERIENCED PERSONNEL WAS MOVED TO THE NEWER SHIPS, BUT I AM PLEASED TO SAY THAT MY 2015 CRUISE WAS BACK ON TRACK. MY BIGGEST COMPLAIN IS THE !8% GRATUITY, ALWAYS AUTOMATIC, ADDED TO WHATEVER I BOUGHT ON THE SHIP AS DRINKS, WATER, SPA SERVICES, JOHNNY ROCKETS, REASON IS THAT A GRATUITY IS SOMETHING EXTRA WHICH IS MEASURED BY THE SERVICE RECEIVED NOT A OBLIGATION OR AS ROYAL PUTS LIKE MORE OF A TAX. THE OTHER THING IS THAT WHEN U REQUIRE A DRINK OR A PAID SERVICE THERE ARE NO PRICES IN PLAIN VIEW TO CHOOSE OR EVEN ARE TOLD THE COST YOU WILL FIND OUT AFTER U RECEIVE THE BILL AND HAVE TO SIGN FOR , THEY SAY U SHOULD ASK FIRST, SO I RECOMMEND U TRAVELERS ALWAYS ASK FOR PRICE AND THEIR HIDDEN COSTS BEFORE ORDERING OR RECEIVING ANY EXTRA SERVICES.

I presume that the cruise lines add in the gratuity because many passengers were not tipping. Also you rated down the quality of the ship itself? What didn't you like about it?
You didn't mention whether you did any shore excursio0n in your ports of call?
