Review summary
For those that look at all the activities and entertainment and think it makes a difference they are nice but in the end this is just a cruise and the requisite hustle and bustle lessens the experience. While RCI has done a good job in trying to minimize the feeling of crowdedness, it just doesn't quite get there. Evenings on the Esplinade or main meal times at the buffet are very crowded. The food is nothing special in comparison to other cruise lines and for those that want availability of food at any time, it probably will require a significant hike. Get a drink card...it will help but like most cruises be prepared for a push for extras. The entertainment is disappointing with limited options and/or reservations required. Other entertainment options are the usual cruise ship fare and nothing special. So while things like the flow rider and I Fly may be exciting, they are maybe 1/2 hour each and a very small component of your entire cruise experience...really not enough to make a difference.Embarkation
