Review summary

After 11 cruises on 3 different lines, mostly RC, we do not feel any discernible difference in service warrants the overall additional cost incurred on RC and will most likely not be back, instead taking advantage of better fares and "perks" on other lines (Carnival and Norweigian)

Food and Dining

We have been long-time Royal Caribbean cruisers (18 years), and were very disappointed that many of the dining options that were previously included are not additional fees: Johnny Rockets food, room service, surf and turf on formal nights, etc. Also, my husband drinks while i do not, was unhappy that i needed to purchase a drink package if he did, it was a waste of over $200. Will most likely not travel with Royal Caribbean again due to all of the "extras"
