We made it fun....they need singles pricing and more time in Cista Maya. Service was great but all cruise lines should pay the crew a decent wage instead of forcing them to live off tips. Quality of food on RC has gone down significantly

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. Sorry that there were aspects that weren’t up to your expectations. I’m wondering why they cut your port time. Were passengers given an explanation? We’ve never had crew members ask or “beg” for tips and we’ve been on 14 cruises. We always tip extra because we always receive great service and find that the crew members are sincerely grateful.
