Review summary

Truly a fantastic cruise. We loved every minute. Montenegro was by far our favorite port! Old world charm at its finest!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fast & easy; the locals at the port were very friendly & helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Buffet was one of the best of any ships we’ve sailed. Main dining is always stellar food & service.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The solarium is perfect to get away from noisy kids/young families. Hot tubs were relaxing. We enjoyed the casino, relaxing on the helipad & ping pong.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The musicians, especially the violinist, were terrific. The singers were great, especially the young lady at the main pool deck, but we weren’t huge fans of the Foster Duo. The magician, fourever group & other stage performers were all fantastic quality fun

Children's Programs

No kids with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The service at the main dining by Gerardo & Bruno “Mars” was excellent. They respected our wishes to eat rather quickly so we wouldn’t miss the evening’s entertainment. They were friendly, attentive & provided truly exceptional wait service throughout every meal for us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

This is our 6th RC cruise & by far, this ship was our favorite layout. Every space was utilized to its fullest & had some great amenities (movie theater, casino, numerous bars, etc)

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great ocean view room. The size was good & our stateroom attendant always ensured it was cleaned to the very highest standards.

Ship tip

Pack your bathing suit in your carryon bag! When you first arrive on board, you won’t get your luggage for a few hours. If you have your bathing suit with you, grab lunch the enjoy the hot tub all to yourself! It’s perfect!
