Review summary

Bionic Bar never worked.....at all. Drinks were terrible.

Cruise prices was $1350 PP but I guess you are paying for the ship. However, if you want to do anything free, there are plenty of amusement park like lines to wait in and if you want to do something without lines, there of course was a charge.

My friends found it more exciting to play cards are the pub and drink ourselves silly since we already paid for it.

Cruise Total $3200! Hop on Carnival for $2000 (same room) or Princess for $2600 (same room and drink packages)

Our 4th RCL and the last. We've had enough.

Same old same old buffet....unless you pay for it. The Windjammer is an organized disaster. Burgers here....wait, ketchup is all the way over there.

Treat you like royalty, but you have to tip on top of the 18% they already charge you.

I agree with this. Carnival, NCL are my favourites! More things to do (waterslides) and I would rather go on a new NCL or Carnival boat then and old RCCL for the same price. The only RCCL that can compete with ANY carnival or NCL is the Oasis Class. And that costs nearly double the price of the other cruise lines and there ships.

Honestly some of the complaints here are rediculous. Though some have merit, others just sound like pitches to cruise other lines. For the record, we all know what the ticket costs before we get on board and use the services. Its not like they surprise you at the end. Buyers remorse maybe but its all on you. Mentioning a suite is simply a solution to the complaint. I have stayed in just about every type of room, and quite frankly I've never had a complaint about waiting in lines. They are expected, and not limited to Royal Caribbean ships.
