Review summary

Very disappointed in RCCL, they have not keep up their high standards. and as mentioned earlier i am very disappointed in the $1327 liquor package and how they serve the cocktails at a cost of $13.00 each if i did not purchase the package. You DO NOT SERVE FLAT, WARM sodas in a nice cocktail. And you need to serve ALL THE LIQUORS YOU ADVERTISE ON YOUR SITE AT EVERY BAR. And RCCL I think you can allow your bar servers to do a more generous cocktail pour for a good drink. I will NEVER purchased that drink package again. I will reconsider what cruise line i travel on my next cruise.

Food and Dining

Dining room -good, thankfully i was able to change my dining to early dining vs. anytime as there was always a VERY LONG line for anytime dining and the earliest available time was 8pm or later. Winnjammer food was okay, cold, not impressed

Ship tip

The Drink package is A WASTE OF MONEY! For the first time ever i and our friends purchased it ($1327) and after calling RCCL before purchasing it i was informed that all the liquor listed on the RCCL website was served, we are Crown Royale drinkers, there was NONE, then we had one Canadian Club and was told there is no more. Some bars had Jim Beam and others did not. THE WORST is the mixers (Coke) were served out of a 2 litter bottle, WARM and FLAT. The drinks are $13 each, the drink pour were very POOR, at this cost you can afford to pour one shot with a little over pour but not RCCL. IT WAS A TOTAL WAIST OF MONEY, I AM SORRY I SPEND THAT and my next cruise, i will reconsider what cruise line i decide to travel on. RCCL your standards are coming down!

You should at least offer floats to all the guests and not charge. We took a jet ski excursion that was fun but would have liked to float around the water before returning to the ship. But there were no floats or noodles to do so unless we had paid and reserved ahead of time.

It was okay. We took a bus tour of the island, that was HORRIBLE, the bus was air conditioned but the AC did not work well, we were STUFFED in the bus VERY TIGHT and where we sat was above the wheel well so we had NO leg room, HORRIBLE a waist of $25.00 per person.

We took a city bus tour on the new no top bus. It was fun but Hot. Then stopped at the shops and took a taxi back to the ship.
