Review summary
While we did enjoy some of the cruise, there were several factors that made this a disappointing vacation. Some of those factors were based on weather conditions, which we realize is out of RC's control. But their reaction to these issues left a lot to be desired.
The main problem was the cancellation of shore excursions. While I understand that is beyond their control, there should have been contingency plans in place. When we arrived at CocoCay we informed they couldn't use the tenders to get us to the island and we were going on to Nassau. But I don't believe they weren't aware this might be a possibility before arriving. So there should have been some excursions available for Nassau without having to wait several hours.
We also had issues with dinner reservations on several nights and other excursion issues.
I do want to make it clear the staff was very polite and tried very hard to accommodate us. But there were put into a bad poistion by management decisions.
