Review summary
Check-in at the port was a disaster. We had online checkin papers completed, but not one employee available to direct people coming in. Just a sea of passengers. We had a junior family suite. Very nice cabin, plenty of room for a family of 4. The separate water closet is fantastic! Still had plenty of storage space. Nice balcony, but the windows were filthy. Had to wipe down a spot so my 4-yr-old could see out. It wasn't cleaned until day 5. As Emerald Crown & Anchor members, we were very sad to see the amenities of yesteryear are gone. Electronic SeaPass wristband is a nice new thing. Loved the two70 room and show. Never received any port info with daily Compass. Had to seek out a map of CoCo Cay on the island. Passed out tickets for tenders, still had to stand in line for 25 minutes. Very little organization. Many employees are indifferent, polite enough, but show little enthusiasm. Exception would be service staff in Windjammer - awesome! Chefs have a hard time keeping pans filled when dining room is busy. Don't try to call guest services or room attendant info on phone, no one will answer. Overall, for a fairly new ship, things looked less than taken care of. Scuffs everywhere, carpets worn, not clean, windows and lifts dirty. We enjoyed our spring break holiday, but may think twice about going on RC again soon.
