Review summary

We knew this itinerary was a quite and relaxing trip and that was what we were looking for. What we were not looking for was a boring experience on the ship. We found the daily activities sparse at best. The nighttime shows  were boring and amateurish. Unless the activity was in a bar area the bar service was sparse and slow. We have been on about 8-9 cruises on different lines and this was the first line where you could really feel a class distinction. This line is all about repeat customers. There were lounges for different classes only, special seating in shows and in the cafeteria. Overall I have had a better experience on other lines.

Only complaint is the lack of electrical plugs. Had to run things across the floor.

Ship tip

My time dining is a little bit of a misnomer. If you do not have a reservation you will have a wait.

If yore bored on a cruise ship, then you're boring. Lounges are not for class specific people only. There may be a welcome back or top tier EVENT but those are only an hour and there are plenty of lounges onboard. Some ships have Suites only lounges and those are nice perks for people paying double what most pay for the same cruise.. I've never had a bad cruise in 45 RCCL cruises....
