Excellent cruise! Would be better if they had just added Bonaire Island in place of one of the 3 sea days. But the 8 days of relaxation is worth the money!
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Best if done at the airport if you are traveling by air. If so, once you get to the pier, you basically just walk on the ship, no more checking in.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
I prefer the buffets because of variety. Basically, good.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
There was plenty to do. But the pool area where most people hangout needs to move smoking to another area. You can watch the movies at the pool because the smoking will choke you to death.

Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Ship's design and layout is just like Carnival Vista. A little boring. RC offers variety in its ship designs. Ship was basically clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Stateroom room was a simple interior with a queen size bed. Very clean, carpet clean, bathroom clean. No leaking faucets, no stopped up toilets, not stopped up shower drain.
Ship tip
Ship is a little boring in design. The water slide fun, and other activities are fun to do.
You have to do an excursion or take a taxi somewhere because the port is sitting on a rock. No beaches are in walking distance. Blue Bay is one of the best excursions you can buy but don't buy from the ship, setup something with a personal taxi. We went to Mambo Beach. Blue Bay is way better if you are trying to avoid crowds and loud music. You can walk downtown to shop.
Excellent! You don't have to do an excursion here. The Louis Vuitton store, Gucci, Michael Kors, and other shopping is right outside the port. Next if you keep walking straight down the straight past shopping area, the beach is on the right. You can sit under the trees and watch the planes land and swim at the same time!
